Today, let’s take a closer look at these quality shingles and why you should consider them for your next roof renovation with us. 

What are CertainTeed roofing shingles?

CertainTeed is one of the most trusted shingle brands in the building materials industry and is known for manufacturing high-performance roofing shingles that combine cutting-edge technology with superior craftsmanship.  

A division of Saint-Gobain, one of the world’s oldest and most respected building products companies, CertainTeed has earned a reputation for delivering innovation in every one of its shingle systems. 

CertainTeed shingles are designed to exceed industry standards for durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. Whether you’re getting roof installation or replacement services, CertainTeed products give homeowners peace of mind with a wide range of styles, materials, and colors to choose from. 

CertainTeed shingle types

Indeed, CertainTeed offers a diverse lineup of asphalt shingles tailored to different aesthetics, performance needs, and budgets. Some of their shingle categories that we offer include: 

• Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles. Popular options like Landmark®, Landmark Pro®, and NorthGate® offer dual-layer construction for added dimension and strength. These are ideal for homeowners who want a premium aesthetic with enhanced durability. 

• ​​​Luxury Shingles. CertainTeed’s Grand Manor®, Carriage House®, and Belmont® collections mimic the look of slate or cedar shake, blending old-world elegance with modern protection. 

• Strip Shingles. Economical and lightweight, CertainTeed’s strip shingles are single-layered shingles designed for budget-conscious homeowners or specific roofing needs like sheds or outbuildings. 

Each of these categories provides varying degrees of performance, thickness, and style, allowing homeowners to make selections based on both their visual preferences and practical requirements.

Are CertainTeed shingles ENERGY STAR®-rated?

Some CertainTeed shingles are ENERGY STAR®-rated, particularly its Landmark® Solaris® collection. These shingles use advanced reflective technology to reduce the amount of heat transferred into a home by reflecting solar energy away from the roof surface. 

This improves indoor comfort during hot Texas summers and can also contribute to lower air conditioning costs. Overall, for homeowners interested in eco-friendly or energy-efficient building practices, ENERGY STAR®-rated CertainTeed shingles are an excellent option. 

Popular CertainTeed roofing shingle colors

One of the standout features of CertainTeed shingles is the wide range of color options available. From bold and dramatic to subtle and natural, there’s a shingle color to complement virtually any architectural style.  

Some of the most popular shingle colors among our customers include: 

• ​​​Moire Black – A deep, classic black that works with nearly any exterior.

• ​​​Weathered Wood – A versatile blend of browns and grays for a timeless look.

• ​​​Heather Blend – A warm, reddish-brown hue that pairs beautifully with brick or neutral siding.

• ​​​Burnt Sienna – A vibrant reddish tone that adds dimension and character.

• ​​​Driftwood – A modern, beachy blend that works well with contemporary and coastal homes.

These CertainTeed shingle colors are beautiful, fade-resistant, and designed to stay vibrant year after year, even under intense sun exposure.

How long do CertainTeed shingles last?

When it comes to longevity, CertainTeed shingles are among the best in the business. Depending on the shingle type, you can expect your roof to last for several decades.  

Here are some average CertainTeed shingle lifespans: 

• Strip Shingles – Around 20–25 years 

• Architectural Shingles – 30–50 years 

• Luxury Shingles – 30-50 years or more 

Many CertainTeed shingles feature advanced technologies like nail-track reinforcement, algae resistance, and impact-resistant designs, which all contribute to a longer lifespan, especially when those shingles are installed by certified installers at Stonewater Roofing. ​​As CertainTeed ShingleMaster experts, we’re the best team to make sure your new shingles are installed perfectly from day one.

Are CertainTeed shingles good?

Absolutely. CertainTeed has earned its reputation through rigorous product testing, high manufacturing standards, and a strong commitment to innovation. When you choose CertainTeed shingles, you’re investing in a product that’s trusted by our professionals and those across the roofing industry and backed by decades of performance data. 

Specifically, you’ll see these benefits from your investment. 

Durability and longevity

CertainTeed shingles are built to withstand harsh conditions, including high winds, heavy rains, hail, and extreme temperatures. Many of their shingles – such as those in the NorthGate® and Landmark® Pro lines – include Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating in the asphalt shingle category. This durability makes them a smart choice for Texas homeowners dealing with unpredictable weather and frequent storm activity. 

On top of their physical strength, CertainTeed shingles offer built-in resistance to algae streaking, a common problem in East Texas’ humid climate. Their StreakFighter® technology uses copper-infused granules to prevent unsightly black streaks, keeping your roof looking fresh for years. 

Excellent versatility

With dozens of styles, profiles, and color combinations, CertainTeed shingles work well with virtually any home design. Whether you’re looking for a traditional aesthetic or a bold, modern roofline, there’s a CertainTeed option that fits. 

Their product lines are also compatible with a range of roof ventilation systems, underlayments, and flashing products, making them easy to integrate into new builds or renovations. Plus, as part of a complete roofing system, CertainTeed shingles help improve your roof’s overall performance and energy efficiency.

Great warranty options

CertainTeed’s warranties are among the most comprehensive in the roofing industry. Depending on the product and whether it’s installed by a credentialed contractor like Stonewater Roofing, you can benefit from: 

• Limited Lifetime Warranties on most architectural and luxury shingles 

• SureStart™ Protection that covers full replacement costs (labor and materials) during the early years 

• Extended warranties through CertainTeed’s credentialed contractor network, such as the SureStart PLUS™ 4-Star and 5-Star options 

These warranties provide real financial protection and reflect the confidence CertainTeed has in its manufacturing process. For homeowners, that means less worry and more value over the life of your roof.
