CertainTeed is the third-largest US asphalt manufacturer and arguably the strongest in the heritage / luxury asphalt category. Landmark is the workhorse line; Landmark Pro and Landmark Premium offer thicker, more dimensional aesthetics; Highland Slate and Presidential Shake serve the Eastmoreland/Laurelhurst heritage market. The installer credential tiers (Quality Master / ShingleMaster / SELECT ShingleMaster) are the most demanding of the major manufacturers.

CertainTeed's product hierarchy centers on Landmark — an architectural shingle line with a 110 mph wind rating standard, upgradeable to 130 mph with the StreakFighter algae warranty. Landmark Pro is the thicker premium version with deeper shadow line; Landmark Premium is the thickest mass-market option. Above Landmark sit the designer lines: Highland Slate (synthetic slate look, common on heritage homes), Presidential Shake (luxury 50-year), and Grand Manor (the heaviest mass-market designer shingle, 7-tab construction).

CertainTeed installer credentials

What the credential tiers mean and how rare they are

SELECT ShingleMaster

~1% of US roofers

Top-tier CertainTeed credential. Requires the contractor to be in business 7+ years, hold proper licensing and insurance, complete advanced training (Master Craftsman certification), and maintain network-leading customer satisfaction. SELECT ShingleMaster contractors can register the SureStart PLUS extended warranty with the longest non-prorated coverage available in the industry. About 1% of US roofers hold this credential.

ShingleMaster

~4% of US roofers

Mid-tier CertainTeed credential. Requires factory training (4-Star certification), proper licensing, and current insurance. ShingleMaster contractors can register the SureStart Plus warranty with somewhat shorter non-prorated coverage than SELECT. About 4% of US roofers.

Quality Master

~20% of US roofers

Entry-level CertainTeed credential. Indicates baseline product training. Cannot register the full SureStart Plus warranty; warranty defaults to the standard prorated material warranty. About 20% of US roofers.

CertainTeed warranty in detail

The base material warranty on Landmark shingles is Lifetime Limited (50 years prorated). The SureStart Plus extended warranty adds non-prorated coverage during the first 10-25 years (depending on installer credential), 130 mph wind warranty (with credentialed installer), and a 10-year StreakFighter algae warranty. SureStart Plus requires a SELECT ShingleMaster or ShingleMaster contractor and registration within 45 days. The warranty is partially transferable if the home is sold.

CertainTeed in Portland

CertainTeed is well-stocked in Portland. Lead times are normal (1-3 days for Landmark, 5-12 days for designer lines like Highland Slate and Presidential Shake). The luxury designer lines see disproportionate use in heritage Portland neighborhoods (Eastmoreland, Laurelhurst, West Hills).

CertainTeed FAQ

How rare is the SELECT ShingleMaster credential?+
About 1% of US roofers hold it. It's the most demanding credential in mass-market asphalt roofing (requires Master Craftsman certification, 7+ years in business, and network-leading customer satisfaction). In the Portland metro there are roughly 8-15 SELECT ShingleMaster contractors at any given time. We match you with one of these when you select CertainTeed and the credential is available.
Is Landmark Pro worth the upgrade over Landmark?+
On a visible-from-street roof: yes, the visual depth difference is noticeable. On a low-slope hidden roof or a flat-ish ranch: probably not. The cost delta is typically $0.50-$1 per sq ft installed; on a 2,000 sq ft roof, $1,000-$2,000 of upgrade for visible architectural depth.
Should I get Presidential Shake on a Craftsman home?+
It can work but it's an aesthetic decision. Original Craftsman roofs were typically wood shake or low-cost asphalt; Presidential Shake recreates the wood shake look in long-warranty asphalt. The cost premium (3-4x standard architectural) only makes sense if the rest of the home's architectural style supports it (heritage neighborhood, deep eaves, architectural windows). On a Craftsman in a non-heritage suburb, standard Landmark Pro is usually the better choice.
Does StreakFighter actually prevent moss in Portland?+
StreakFighter is a copper-coated granule that releases trace copper ions, which inhibit algae and lichen growth. It's effective against the cosmetic black streaking that asphalt roofs develop over time. It is not effective against the heavy moss mats that develop on Portland north-facing slopes; that level of growth requires zinc strip preventive maintenance. Treat StreakFighter as a 10-year visual warranty, not a moss-prevention silver bullet.
