Certification Deep Dive

CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster.

Q: What does CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster mean?

CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster is an advanced contractor credential recognizing superior install skills, professionalism, and completion of CertainTeed's Master Shingle Applicator training. It unlocks CertainTeed's highest warranty tiers including the 5-Star SureStart Plus warranty.

Q: What is CertainTeed's 5-Star warranty?

The 5-Star SureStart Plus warranty is CertainTeed's strongest coverage. It includes 50 years on materials, 25 years of SureStart coverage (no prorating), 25 years of labor quality coverage, and even covers the cost of removing a defective roof. Only SELECT ShingleMaster contractors can offer it.

DeHart Roofing installs the full CertainTeed product line including Landmark, Landmark Pro, Landmark Premium, Grand Manor, NorthGate (impact-resistant), Presidential Shake, and Carriage House designer shingles.

Q: Are CertainTeed shingles good for the Central Valley?

Yes. CertainTeed Landmark shingles carry a 110 mph wind warranty, Class A fire resistance, and StreakFighter algae protection. NorthGate shingles add Class 4 impact resistance. All are engineered to handle the Central Valley's extreme heat and UV exposure.

Q: How do I verify DeHart Roofing is a SELECT ShingleMaster?

Visit certainteed.com/find-a-pro and search for DeHart Roofing or Econo Roofing in Turlock, CA. Our SELECT ShingleMaster credential is verified directly through CertainTeed's online contractor directory.

Q: What is the difference between CertainTeed 4-Star and 5-Star warranties?

The 4-Star warranty covers materials for 50 years and labor quality for 15 years. The 5-Star warranty extends labor quality to 25 years, adds SureStart Plus non-prorated coverage for 25 years, and includes the cost of tear-off if the roof fails during the coverage period.

Q: Does CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster cost more?

The shingle materials are the same price regardless of contractor tier. The enhanced warranty upgrades (4-Star and 5-Star) have a small additional cost but provide decades of extra labor quality coverage backed by CertainTeed, a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain.

SELECT ShingleMaster is CertainTeed's top installer credential. We hold it. That unlocks the strongest warranty tier CertainTeed offers — for your home.

What CertainTeed SELECT means

CertainTeed is a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, one of the world's largest building material companies. They run a tiered contractor program. SELECT ShingleMaster is the top residential tier.

To earn it, a contractor must meet five rules:

MSA badge. Completion of CertainTeed's Master Shingle Applicator program.
State licensing. Current and valid in California.
Adequate insurance. Coverage verified by CertainTeed.
Quality track record. Proven install history on file.
Ongoing training. Active participation in CertainTeed education programs.

CertainTeed reviews these qualifications regularly. DeHart Roofing maintains this credential through continuous training. We are backed by the Econo Roofing family of companies.

CertainTeed warranty tiers

Your warranty tier depends on your contractor's credential. CertainTeed has four levels:

Standard warranty. Any installer can offer this. Materials only. No labor quality coverage.
SureStart warranty. Credentialed contractors only. Full material coverage. Non-prorated for the first 10 years — CertainTeed pays 100% of defect claims.
4-Star warranty. ShingleMaster contractors only. 50-year materials, SureStart included. Adds 15 years of labor quality coverage backed by CertainTeed.
5-Star SureStart Plus warranty. SELECT ShingleMaster contractors only. Coverage stacks across three layers:
- Materials. 50 years of manufacturer coverage.
- SureStart non-prorated. 25 years of full-value coverage.
- Workmanship. 25 years, including tear-off if the roof fails.

Standard contractors offer materials only. With DeHart Roofing, you get 25 years of labor quality coverage. That protection comes from CertainTeed — not just your installer.
