How well your roofing system works depends greatly on the quality of its installation. This means getting the right roofing materials along with superior service from only the best roofing company in your area. The first step to an effective installation starts with your starter shingles. Choosing the wrong type of starters can lead to bigger problems with your roof down the road. That’s why many professionals turn to CertainTeed® and their excellent line of starter shingles for reliability and performance.
SwiftStart®
CertainTeed designed SwiftStart® as a partner starter for their popular Landmark® Series shingles, but they can work well with almost any similar asphalt shingle line. SwiftStart is a requirement to qualify for the enhanced warranties that cover some of CertainTeed’s finest roofing materials. Ask your roofing contractor how SwiftStart can protect your eaves from common water-related problems.
High-Performance Starter
The Integrity Roof System® is CertainTeed’s premier roofing system consisting of underlayments, shingles, ventilation and other accessory products, including starter shingles. Complete your GrandManor® and Highland Slate® series roofing with High-Performance Starter Shingles for a tougher and longer-lasting system.
Presidential®
The Presidential® Shake® TL and Presidential Shake systems require the use of the Presidential Starter for an effective installation. Like the High-Performance Starter set, the Presidential Starter meets the high standards and requirements of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. This line of starter shingles is also compatible with classic Arcadia Shake® shingles.

Historical homes carry with them a certain timeless appeal that newer homes simply do not have.

Choosing New Asphalt Shingle Colors
Many roofers may tell you to stick with asphalt shingles for roof replacement projects. It’s popular, low cost, practical and even suits many traditional home styles. Tile, metal or slate roofs, though they last longer, cost a lot more and are quite heavy. Many homes aren’t built to support them. Wood shingles, ideal for ranch or rustic homes, can develop algae in moist climates. That’s why asphalt shingles are the go-to option among homeowners.
Building Proper Communication With Your Roof Contractor
It takes careful planning and consideration to fully replace your roof, and this can be a daunting task if you choose to do it on your own. It’s better to do your research and hire a professional who can help you build a good roof over your home. Of course, you should also hire someone who knows how to listen and communicate with you in each step of the roofing process.
