A roof replacement is one of the most complex projects a homeowner can tackle. Most homeowners will replace their roof once, maybe twice, in the time they own their homes. It can cost a considerable amount of time, money, and effort, so selecting the right residential roofing contractor is vital. To ensure you're making the best decision for your home, you should hire an experienced CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster™ certified contractor. Here are a few reasons why you can benefit from hiring a contractor with Select ShingleMaster™ status.

Who is CertainTeed?

CertainTeed is the most trusted roofing manufacturer in North America and has been part of the building materials industry for 115 years. With their experience in the industry and their commitment to quality products and installations, they offer several accreditations for residential and commercial roofers: Silver and Gold Star Contractors™, ShingleMasters™, and Select ShingleMasters™. Only the top 1% of roofing contractors nationwide are CertainTeed Select ShingleMasters™. We are proud to be in this top 1%! 

As CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster™ roofing contractors, we offer CertainTeed's premier quality products, including Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Belmont shingles. All are available in a wide variety of styles and colors so that you can easily find the one that perfectly suits your home's exterior. CertainTeed Shingles come at the top as the most trustworthy brand in residential roofing when it comes to quality materials.

CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster™ Qualifications

To earn the CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster™ credential, a residential roofing company must adhere to CertainTeed's rigorous demands. Residential roofing contractors earn this designation only when they:

  • Operate for at least five years as a roofing contractor, or at least one year as a ShingleMaster™ contractor
  • Have qualified CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicators™ on the shingle installation team and as job supervisors
  • Have a current Shingle Quality Specialist™ on the team

  • Demonstrate the highest standards of excellence
  • Demonstrate thorough knowledge of shingle roofing
  • Showcase quality installations of CertainTeed products
  • Pass CertainTeed's testing of shingle installation knowledge
  • Provide proof of workers' compensation and liability insurance to CertainTeed

These stringent checks mean CertainTeed has already vetted your contractors for you, and you don't have to stress about the paperwork. 

CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster™ roofers provide the finest workmanship due to their extensive training and experience in the roofing industry. To become Select Shingle Masters™, we take rigorous tests on our roofing and product knowledge. CertainTeed will also check on their Select ShingleMasters™ and perform random inspections on completed jobs. This ensures that we are providing consistent quality. Select ShingleMasters™ also need to maintain good ratings through third-party surveys.

Haynes Construction has complied with each requirement. When you choose a ShingleMaster™, you are guaranteed that they are knowledgeable at the trade and can bring that experience to any roofing job.
