Congratulations... and thank you for your recent purchase of one of the fine products from
<br />CertainTeed Roofing. Since 1904, CertainTeed has been producing quality roofing products that
<br />provide long-lasting beauty and protection for homes of every size, style and age. For over
<br />100 years, the basis for our name, “Quality made certain, satisfaction guaranteed,” has been our
<br />ongoing philosophy.
<br />Your CertainTeed roofing warranty fully explains how CertainTeed supports its products with the
<br />strongest warranty protection available. It is important that you read the warranty section of this
<br />brochure. The warranty lists the specific CertainTeed asphalt shingle products that are covered and
<br />the period of time for which they are covered. Take the time to understand how CertainTeed protects
<br />your purchase by standing behind our products.
<br />Limited, Prorated and Transferable Warranty
<br />This warranty covers asphalt shingle products listed in Table 1, sold only in the United States of
<br />America, its territories and Canada.
<br />What and Who Are Covered and for How Long
<br />From the date of installation, CertainTeed warrants to the original property owner/consumer that,
<br />when subject to normal and proper use, its shingles will be free from manufacturing defects for the
<br />warranty period specified in Table 1. CertainTeed will pay to repair, replace or clean, at its option,
<br />any shingles CertainTeed determines are defective under the terms of this Limited Warranty. In the
<br />event of repair, replacement or cleaning pursuant to the terms of this Limited Warranty, the warranty
<br />applicable to the original shingles shall apply to the repaired, replaced or cleaned shingles and will
<br />extend for the balance of the original warranty period.
<br />Lifetime means for as long as the original individual property owner owns the property where the
<br />shingles are installed.
<br />The Lifetime warranty period offered for certain shingles in Table 1 is only available to individual
<br />property owners. The warranty period for shingles installed on premises not used by individual
<br />property owners as their residence is limited as specified in Table 1. All property owners, who are
<br />not individual property owners, and all structures not used by individual property owners as their
<br />residence (e.g. corporations, governmental agencies, partnerships, religious organizations, schools,
<br />condominiums, property owner associations or cooperative housing arrangements, apartment
<br />buildings, and any other type of building or premises not owned by individual property owners) called
<br />“Other Ownership” are limited to either a 50-year or 40-year warranty period described in Table 1.
<br />In addition, for Other Ownership after the SureStart™ Protection period ends, this Limited Warranty
<br />covers only manufacturing defects that caused water penetration.
<br />SureStart™ Protection
<br />Because CertainTeed roofing products are manufactured to the highest quality standards,
<br />we confidently include the additional assurance of SureStart™ protection. SureStart provides
<br />the strongest non-prorated protection you can get in the vital early years of your new roof.
<br />All of CertainTeed’s shingle products are covered by SureStart protection. Under this warranty
<br />feature, CertainTeed, at no charge, will pay to repair or replace, at its option, any shingles CertainTeed
<br />determines are defective during the SureStart period. Note: Wind warranty and algae warranty are
<br />covered separately as described on page 5. The SureStart period begins on the date of application
<br />and terminates following the warranty period specified in Table 1. CertainTeed’s maximum liability
<br />under SureStart is equal to the reasonable cost of comparable replacement shingles and labor
<br />as determined by CertainTeed to replace or repair the defective shingles. Roof tear-off, metal
<br />work, flashing and disposal expenses, and other costs or expenses incurred during such repair or
<br />replacement are not covered or reimbursed by this Limited Warranty, except for certain products with
<br />Lifetime warranty periods specified in Table 1, for which CertainTeed’s maximum liability also includes
<br />the cost of roof tear-off, metal work, flashing and disposal.
<br />In instances in which CertainTeed, under the terms of this warranty, has agreed to pay the
<br />reasonable cost of labor required to repair or replace defective shingles, CertainTeed will
<br />determine labor costs by Bluebook® or RS Means® data. CertainTeed will provide reimbursement
<br />for labor only upon receipt of a copy of the contractor’s invoice or other written evidence of the
<br />completion of such work which CertainTeed, in its sole discretion, deems acceptable.
<br />Costs associated with removal or replacement of overburden (items installed over the shingles,
<br />including but not limited to, solar panels, satellite dishes and gardens) are the sole responsibility of the
<br />property owner.
