CertainTeed’s standard “SureStart protection” provides full replacement
coverage within years 1-10 in the event of a manufacturing defect. CertainTeed will pay
to tear off the old roof, dispose of the materials, replace with new shingles, and metal
flashings, and pay for the labor to install them. This is referred to as the “non-prorated”
period/coverage. Once the SureStart period ends, you are covered for shingles only and
at a reduced rate as the roof ages.
CertainTeed’s SureStart PLUS (4 Star Warranty) takes the traditional SureStart
protection and extends coverage for up to 50 years. That means in the event of a
manufacturing defect, you are fully covered for materials, labor, tear-off & disposal.
Please keep in mind:
The manufactures warranties can be misleading.
A “lifetime, limited warranty” means coverage for manufacturing defects ONLY as long
as you, as an individual homeowner, own your home – NOT for the life of the home.
This also does not mean the shingles will last a lifetime. The shingles’ life span can be
diminished due to the impact and severity of weather conditions, freeze/thaw cycles, UV
rays, etc. This is considered normal wear and tear and is not covered by any warranty.
The normal life expectancy of any asphalt shingle roof is around 25 years.
