We maintain in-depth knowledge of every CertainTeed product line, enabling us to recommend the perfect solution for your specific needs and budget.
Understanding CertainTeed’s Advanced Manufacturing Process
The superior quality of CertainTeed roofing products stems from their meticulous manufacturing process. Each shingle begins with a fiberglass mat core that provides exceptional strength and dimensional stability. This core receives multiple layers of weatherproofing asphalt, engineered to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and resist cracking over time. The manufacturing process incorporates ceramic-coated granules that protect against UV radiation while providing the distinctive colors and textures homeowners love.
Quality control measures at CertainTeed facilities exceed industry standards, with continuous monitoring throughout production. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for tear strength, wind resistance, and granule adhesion. This attention to detail translates directly into longer-lasting roofs that maintain their appearance and protective qualities for decades. As a family owned and operated business, we appreciate CertainTeed’s commitment to consistency and reliability, values that align perfectly with our own approach to serving customers throughout New England, Cape Cod & The Islands.
Warranty Protection and Long-Term Value
CertainTeed offers industry-leading warranty coverage that provides genuine peace of mind for property owners. Their standard limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects, while their SureStart PLUS extended warranty protection adds coverage for labor costs during the critical first few years after installation. When installed by certified contractors like Cran-Marsh Inc., these warranties can be upgraded to include additional protections against wind damage and algae growth.
The StreakFighter warranty specifically addresses the common problem of algae staining, guaranteeing protection for up to 25 years depending on the product selected. This coverage proves particularly valuable in our region’s climate, where humidity and shade can create ideal conditions for algae growth. Understanding these warranty options allows us to help customers make informed decisions that protect their investment for the long term.
