Our Certifications

Why Roofing Certifications Matter

Most roof problems do not start with a bad shingle. They start with a bad installation: the wrong nail pattern, a missed flashing detail, or poor ventilation that cooks a roof from beneath. A manufacturer warranty covers defects in the product, but it does nothing for an install error. Closing that gap is the reason these certifications exist.

To earn and keep a manufacturer credential, a roofing company has to meet standards that go well beyond a business license. That means documented training, proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance, a clean financial and legal record, and a commitment to installing complete, approved roofing systems. Industry bodies such as the National Roofing Contractors Association promote the same professional standards, and the certifications we hold put those standards into practice on every job.

Owens Corning Roofing Preferred Contractor

Owens Corning builds one of the most trusted shingle lines in America, and it does not lend its name to just anyone. To become an Owens Corning Roofing Preferred Contractor, a company must pass the manufacturer’s screening for professionalism, reliability, and business practices, then stay in good standing through ongoing training and product commitment. For you, that credential means:

• Factory-trained installation: Our crews install Owens Corning products to the manufacturer’s exacting specifications, which is what protects both your roof and your warranty.
• Stronger system warranties: As a Preferred Contractor, we can offer enhanced system warranties with extended material coverage and manufacturer-backed workmanship coverage that reach beyond a standard contractor guarantee.
• A vetted, accountable company: Owens Corning verifies our licensing, insurance, and reputation before granting this status, so you are working with a company the manufacturer stands behind.

CertainTeed ShingleMaster

CertainTeed is another leader in roofing materials, and its ShingleMaster credential is one of the industry’s most demanding. It is a company-level credential, which means the business earns it, not just a single employee. To hold ShingleMaster status, a company must:

• Employ certified installers. Our team includes Master Shingle Applicator certified installers and a Shingle Quality Specialist, so the people on your roof have passed testing on correct CertainTeed installation.
• Follow a strict code of ethics: ShingleMaster companies agree to CertainTeed’s code of ethics and professional practices, and they face re-accreditation to keep the credential current.
• Offer extended warranty protection: The credential lets us provide CertainTeed’s extended SureStart PLUS warranty protection, which can add years of non-prorated material and workmanship coverage when we install a complete CertainTeed Integrity Roof System.
