What is CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster?
CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster is a manufacturer-recognized installer tier that qualifies roofing contractors to offer elevated warranty terms when using CertainTeed shingle products, contingent on annual training and sales requirements.
The CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster designation identifies roofing contractors who have met CertainTeed's specific performance and training benchmarks. Contractors holding this credential have completed manufacturer training on proper installation techniques, product specifications, and customer service standards. The program typically requires contractors to maintain a minimum annual volume of CertainTeed shingle sales to retain the status.
ShingleMaster certification carries direct warranty benefits for homeowners. Contractors with this designation can offer CertainTeed's enhanced or extended warranty programs on qualifying roof replacements, which often exceed the coverage available through standard installations. This warranty elevation can include lengthened coverage periods and broader protection terms, making the credential a significant selling point for residential roofing projects in the Hartford area.
The certification matters because it signals to homeowners that the contractor has been vetted by CertainTeed for technical competency and ongoing professional development. When selecting roof replacement providers, many homeowners prioritize contractors who hold manufacturer credentials, as these affiliations typically correlate with quality installation and reliable warranty claims handling. For contractors, maintaining ShingleMaster status requires sustained investment in training and customer service excellence.
