Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document details the 2025 Limited Warranty for CertainTeed asphalt shingle products, highlighting the company's dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.
Warranty Coverage
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in CertainTeed asphalt shingles sold in the USA, its territories, and Canada. It applies to the original property owner and is transferable once. The warranty duration varies based on ownership type and product, with a lifetime warranty available for individual property owners.
SureStart™ Protection
SureStart™ offers non-prorated protection during the initial years post-installation. CertainTeed will repair or replace defective shingles at no charge during this period, excluding costs related to roof tear-off, metal work, and disposal.
Beyond SureStart™ Protection
After the SureStart period, CertainTeed's liability decreases monthly, and labor costs are not covered. For specific products, defects must cause leaks to be eligible for coverage.
Transferability
The warranty can be transferred once. If transferred during the SureStart period, the new owner receives the same coverage as the original owner, with some limitations on duration.
Limitations
The warranty excludes damage from extreme weather, structural changes, improper installation, or environmental factors like mold and mildew. CertainTeed is not liable for color variations due to weathering or product discontinuation.
Table 1 Summary
Table 1 outlines warranty periods, SureStart durations, wind resistance, and algae warranty specifics for various products. Lifetime warranties are primarily for individual residential owners, with reduced terms for other ownership types.
Conclusion
This warranty provides comprehensive coverage for CertainTeed asphalt shingles, with specific terms and conditions outlined for different scenarios and product types.
Warranty Overview
CertainTeed offers a limited warranty for its shingles, with specific conditions for non-ventilated decks and insulated decks with radiant barriers. Non-ventilated decks have a reduced warranty period of ten years and do not qualify for SureStart Protection unless damage is due to a manufacturing defect unrelated to ventilation issues.
Insulated Decks and Radiant Barriers
The warranty, including SureStart Protection, remains valid for fiberglass shingles applied to roof deck assemblies with prefabricated foam insulation, insulation beneath an acceptable roof deck, or radiant barriers installed directly below the deck. Acceptable deck surfaces must be at least 3/8" thick plywood or 7/16" thick OSB with slopes of 2:12 or greater. Design professionals must ensure proper insulation quality, structural ventilation, and compliance with local codes.
Ventilated Nail-Base Roof Insulation
Products like FlintBoard® CV provide ventilation and do not reduce warranty coverage if installed according to manufacturer instructions.
Limited Algae-Resistant Warranty
CertainTeed offers a warranty against blue-green algae affecting the appearance of algae-resistant shingles. Coverage is prorated beyond ten years, and the warranty is transferable under certain conditions. In low-rain or salt fog areas, CertainTeed recommends using vinyl or copper gutters to prevent corrosion.
Limited Wind Warranty
The shingles are warranted against blow-off damage due to wind velocities up to specified limits for the first 15 years for Lifetime products and five years for others. CertainTeed will replace damaged shingles but not cover labor or additional costs.
Customer Responsibilities
Customers must notify CertainTeed within 30 days of discovering a defect and provide proof of purchase. CertainTeed may require a shingle sample for analysis.
Warranty Registration
Registration is optional and can be done online or by mail. Failure to register does not void the warranty.
Exclusive Warranty and Limitation of Remedies
This document outlines the exclusive warranties and remedies, limiting CertainTeed's liability to repair or replacement of defective products. Certain exclusions and limitations apply, which may vary by state or province.
Company Information
CertainTeed is a leading manufacturer of building materials, headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
