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 with Espindola family stewardship since 2026 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.
