A new roof is a major purchase, and it’s not one that you make often. When you do purchase one, how can you be sure it’s going to last? CertainTeed® roofing materials and a SureStart® or SureStart PLUS warranty can give you peace of mind. The SureStart warranty gives your roof extra protection during its early years. Here are three benefits of getting one for your new roof.

3 Benefits of a Warranty for Your New Roof

1. 100% of Materials Are Covered

Your CertainTeed shingles are already made of high-quality materials and rarely have problems. But if they do, the shingles will be replaced or repaired at 100% of the cost during the applicable time—no exceptions. The shingles also have wind- and algae-resistant warranties, so you don’t need to worry about defects, wind, or moisture.

2. 100% of Labor Is Covered

Included in the SureStart warranty is 100% of the labor. If your shingles are defective, CertainTeed will pay the local fair market value for labor to have them repaired or replaced. This includes the metal work, flashings, tear-off, and disposal for some shingles.

3. Coverage Is Transferable

A SureStart warranty can be transferred from the original purchaser to the first new owner, and it will last the duration of the warranty. SureStart runs anywhere from 3-10 years, depending on the shingle installed. CertainTeed warranties last between 20 years and a lifetime, depending on the type of shingle that is installed.
