Why We Recommend CertainTeed Shingles
CertainTeed is our preferred shingle manufacturer for many roof replacement projects. We recommend the Landmark product family because of appearance, performance features, installation support, and warranty options.
The right shingle depends on the homeowner's budget, home style, roof condition, neighborhood appearance, storm exposure, and long-term plans. In our professional opinion, CertainTeed offers a robust lineup that addresses these needs effectively.
RISE helps homeowners compare options instead of pushing one product without explanation. While CertainTeed is our primary recommendation, we may install other roofing products when requested by the homeowner or when the project calls for it.
Please note that warranty options may depend on installation requirements, required CertainTeed components, and current manufacturer guidelines. We guide you through these details during your consultation.
Our Approach to Materials
- Focus on proven performance features and durability.
- Matching curb appeal to your neighborhood and home style.
- Adhering strictly to installation requirements for warranty validity.
The CertainTeed Landmark Product Family

RISE helps homeowners choose the right product based on:
What North Carolina Homeowners Should Know Before Choosing Shingles
Shingle selection matters deeply for North Carolina homes. Our climate presents unique challenges that your roof must handle year after year.
- Wind events and storm exposure
- Summer heat, heavy rain, and humidity
- Algae staining concerns and tree debris
While no shingle is hurricane-proof, hail-proof, or storm-proof, CertainTeed Landmark products are a strong option for many North Carolina homeowners. They combine architectural appearance, algae-resistance technology, impact rating options, and warranty options that perform well in neighborhoods around Mooresville, Lake Norman, Charlotte, Concord, Statesville, Cornelius, Davidson, Hickory, and Gastonia.
Installation Quality Matters as Much as the Shingle
A shingle is only one part of the roof system. A strong roof replacement depends heavily on both product selection and installation quality.
The best shingle in the world will fail if the underlying system is flawed. We focus on proper underlayment, starter shingles, hip and ridge shingles, flashing, ventilation, proper nailing, decking condition, and roof penetrations.
Certain warranty options may depend on using required CertainTeed components and following strict installation requirements. This is why homeowners should not compare roofing estimates based only on shingle brand or price.

Do CertainTeed Shingles Cost More?
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, tear-off needs, decking repairs, ventilation, flashing, accessory components, labor, product tier, and warranty requirements.
- Landmark: Usually the more value-focused Landmark option.
- Landmark PRO: Often a step-up option with enhanced features.
- Landmark Premium: Generally the highest-tier option among these three.
