When it’s time for a roof replacement, the last thing you want to do is cut corners at any step of the process. From the type of roofing products used to the residential roofing contractor and anything in between, quality should be your number one priority. Beaulieu Home Improvement has more than 50 years of experience and uses only the highest-quality products for our customers. Our two most popular roof shingle brands are Atlas and CertainTeed, and we provide you with the information you need to know about them below.
Atlas Shingles: Pinnacle Pristine Features & Benefits
Atlas roofing shingles are the most popular option we offer to our customers as it provides one of the best values for the dollar. The Atlas Pinnacle Pristine line is a good option for most customers who want a quality roof shingle without breaking the bank. Some of the top features of Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles include:
- A 130 mph wind-resistance warranty
- A great algae resistance warranty
- Scotchgard™ Protector to prevent algae streaks
- Competitive pricing
- Numerous shingle color options
- An extra five years of the manufacturer warranty compared to the competition
As far as the roof installation goes with Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles, you could save money as well. Since the nailing hems are wider than most other roofing lines and the shingles are larger as well, your residential roofing contractor will save time with the installation without sacrificing quality. Atlas offers quality products at good price points and are some of the many reasons why we offer them to our customers.
CertainTeed Shingles: Durability & Landmark Series Options
One of the most widely-known brands in the roofing industry is CertainTeed. They are a sought-after company in the home improvement market and have a very positive reputation as a manufacturer. Beaulieu Home Improvement has installed CertainTeed roofing products for more than 30 years and we have maintained an excellent relationship with the local CertainTeed representative in our area. In addition to the quality of CertainTeed products, they also offer several options based on the customer’s needs and budget.
The CertainTeed Landmark shingles are one of their most popular products since it offers a great value for customers. It’s available in numerous colors and includes CertainTeed’s limited lifetime warranty, including a ten-year algae-resistance warranty.
Comparing CertainTeed Landmark vs. Landmark Pro
The CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles are similar to the Landmark shingles, but they are heavier and thicker to provide a better performance. They also are offered in more color variations and contrasts and generally have a longer lifespan. The wind-resistance warranty is 110 mph, and the algae-resistance warranty is 15 years.
The CertainTeed Landmark Pro 5-Star Warranty shingles offer the best product warranty customers can buy. In addition to all of the features of the Landmark Pro line, this line also includes:
- A 50-year non-prorated warranty on the roofing system
- Use of all CertainTeed products throughout the roofing system
- Expanded warranty to include labor, dumpster, and materials
When you choose CertainTeed for your roof installation, you won’t be disappointed. The products are top-of-the-line and offer plenty of options to meet and exceed your aesthetic and functional needs.
Why Expert Installation Matters for Warranty Coverage
What might even be more important than the quality of your roofing shingle is the quality of your residential roofing contractor. It’s critical to work with a company you trust to install some of the top brands of roofing materials. When you’re searching for a residential roofing contractor, pay attention to the types of products they offer. If they don’t offer some of the top brands like Atlas and CertainTeed, then they might cut corners on their workmanship as well. Saving money now by opting for the cheapest products and contractors will usually lead to spending more money on repairs later.
