CertainTeed Landmark Shingles

Elevate Your Home's Aesthetics and Durability

Landmark® Series Shingles are more than just residential roofing materials; they’re a statement of style and a shield of protection for your home.

These roof shingles offer superior protection and greater durability than standard shingles. CertainTeed Landmark shingles feature a multi-layered, dual-layer design with laminated layers, combining a tough fiberglass base and a protective outer layer.

This construction enhances durability, weather resistance, and gives the shingles a dimensional look that mimics authentic wood shakes, boosting your home’s curb appeal.

CertainTeed Landmark shingles use thick, high-quality asphalt and the industry’s toughest fiberglass mat. This gives you an energy-efficient roof that will stand up to the toughest New York weather conditions.

Patching roof leaks and roof repair can solve the immediate problem. But if your old roof is constantly giving you headaches, consider a new roof installation. A CertainTeed Landmark Shingle roof can cut your utility bills, end water damage from leaks, and improve your home’s curb appeal.

County Roofing Systems has over 35 years of experience as a Landmark roofing contractor. We keep homeowners informed through every part of the roof installation process.

We make sure all paperwork is in order and work with our customers through permit and financing issues. And because we are a CertainTeed Master Craftsman Roofing Contractor, we can offer you the best warranty available.

If you’re in Long Island and the New York metropolitan service area, call us today and we’ll explain your different CertainTeed Landmark roofing options.

Unparalleled Protection for Peace of Mind

When a certified CertainTeed Landmark roofing contractor installs your new Landmark shingle roof, CertainTeed will guarantee their workmanship with a 25-year warranty. Because County Roofing Systems has that certification, CertainTeed will stand behind our services with that warranty.

CertainTeed’s SureStart™ protection covers you against any material defects that occur during the first 10 years. SureStart covers 100% of material and labor costs to repair those defects. That includes flashing, metal work, tear-off, and disposal, all of which can add sizable costs to a roofing job.

CertainTeed’s warranties cover its roofing shingles in the event of any manufacturing defects. Most other shingle manufacturers only cover defects that cause leaks or affect performance. You not only get the beauty, durability and energy efficiency of a new CertainTeed Landmark roof system. You also get peace of mind knowing that your new roof is covered and your customer satisfaction is guaranteed.

Choose Your Shingle Style

CertainTeed’s Landmark shingle roofing comes in a variety of colors, allowing you to select the perfect style for your home. And Landmark architectural shingles are ENERGY STAR® compliant. That means you not only save money on your utility bills. You’re also eligible for a tax credit of up to 10% of your roof installation costs.

Explore our roof shingle color options and see how each can add a unique touch to your home’s aesthetic.

NailTrak™: A Revolution in Roofing

CertainTeed’s NailTrak™ features a nail area that is three times wider than most shingles. That gives roofers more leeway to install the nails properly.

On the back, CertainTeed places its sealant low. Sealant glue can gum up nail guns. CertainTeed helps workers avoid that delay.

The Quadra-Bond adhesive on top of each shingle provides extra protection against leaks and helps roofs stand up to wind and weather. Quadra-Bond secures your roof with four adhesion points. That’s the best in the business.

Installing a new CertainTeed Landmark roof can be a big investment. But with County Roofing, you may be pleasantly surprised by our quote.

Why CertainTeed Landmark Shingles Excel in Long Island's Challenging Climate

Long Island’s unique coastal location creates roofing challenges that demand superior materials. CertainTeed Landmark shingles deliver exactly what your Long Island home needs to withstand our region’s toughest weather conditions.

Nor’easters and High Wind Protection

Long Island experiences some of the Northeast’s most intense storms. CertainTeed Landmark shingles withstand winds up to 110 MPH with standard installation—protection that matters during coastal nor’easters and severe weather events.

With proper installation using CertainTeed starter shingles and hip and ridge accessories, County Roofing Systems can upgrade your wind warranty coverage to 130 MPH. Landmark PRO shingles are rated to withstand winds up to 130 mph when installed with CertainTeed accessories, providing extra security for your home. This enhanced protection provides peace of mind when storms threaten Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Landmark PRO shingles also meet UL 2218 Class 3 impact resistance standards, offering strong protection against hail and wind-driven debris. For homeowners seeking even greater storm durability, Landmark ClimateFlex shingles are specifically designed for enhanced hail resistance and storm damage protection.

The secret to Landmark’s exceptional wind resistance lies in QuadraBond Technology—an industry-leading four-point adhesive system firmly securing shingle layers together. While competitors use two or three adhesion points, CertainTeed’s four-point system creates superior bonding that keeps your roof intact when winds howl across the Island.

Coastal Humidity and Algae Resistance

Long Island’s maritime climate creates year-round humidity perfect for algae growth. Those unsightly black streaks appearing on roofs throughout the region aren’t dirt—they’re algae staining that damages shingle integrity and destroys curb appeal.

StreakFighter Technology protects Landmark shingles against algae formation using copper-infused surface granules possessing natural anti-algae properties. This proven technology prevents algae from taking hold on your shingles—helping your roof maintain its beauty and color for 25 years.

CertainTeed backs this protection with a comprehensive 25-year StreakFighter algae resistance warranty. Most competitors offer only 10-year algae coverage—CertainTeed provides 2.5 times longer protection because their technology actually works in our humid coastal environment.

Temperature Extremes and Seasonal Stress

Long Island’s temperature swings from summer heat to winter cold create expansion and contraction cycles that crack inferior shingles. Landmark’s engineered composition handles these thermal stresses without premature aging.

The durable fiberglass mat base provides dimensional stability preventing warping. Carefully refined, water-resistant asphalt maintains flexibility through temperature extremes. Ceramic-coated mineral granules embedded in the surface reflect UV radiation protecting against sun damage during Long Island’s intense summers.

Heavy Snow Loads and Ice Dam Prevention

Long Island winters deliver heavy snowfall that tests roof integrity. Landmark shingles’ robust construction handles snow weight without damage or structural stress.

When combined with proper underlayment systems—including CertainTeed WinterGuard Waterproofing Shingle Underlayment along eaves and valleys—Landmark roofs prevent ice dam formation and water infiltration. County Roofing Systems applies ice and water shield coverage exceeding minimum code requirements because we’ve witnessed the costly damage occurring without adequate protection.

Salt Air and Coastal Corrosion Resistance

Homes near Long Island’s South Shore face accelerated wear from salt air exposure. While this primarily affects metal components, the complete CertainTeed Integrity Roof System includes corrosion-resistant accessories engineered for coastal environments.

County Roofing Systems combines Landmark shingles with marine-grade flashing materials and proper ventilation systems ensuring every component withstands Long Island’s coastal conditions for decades.

0% Financing, Quick and Easy Approval

With nearly four decades serving homeowners under our belt, we know what’s needed to make your roofing project a success.

When you work with County Roofing, you get only the best. As little as 0% interest on approval for 5 years, quick approval, easy pay, and all backed by the best guarantees in the industry.

Technical Specifications and Performance Features That Set Landmark Apart

Understanding what makes CertainTeed Landmark shingles superior requires examining the advanced technologies and engineering excellence built into every shingle.

Dual-Layer Construction for Enhanced Protection

Unlike basic three-tab shingles featuring single-layer design, Landmark architectural shingles utilize a shingles dual layer design for enhanced durability, weather resistance, and overall protection.

This dual-layer construction consists of a tough fiberglass base combined with a protective outer layer, contributing to impact resistance, fire safety, and algae resistance. The multi-layer design also enhances the aesthetic appeal by replicating the dimensional appearance of authentic wood shakes.

For those seeking even greater thickness and a cedar shake look, Landmark TL shingles are constructed with three laminated layers, making them thicker and more visually similar to traditional cedar shakes.

Landmark PRO shingles, on the other hand, are slightly heavier and more robust than standard Landmark shingles, and are crafted with two laminated layers to replicate the dimensional appearance of authentic wood shakes.

This multi-layer design provides:

Enhanced impact resistance protecting against hail, branches, and wind-blown debris
Improved wind uplift performance through increased weight and surface area
Superior aesthetic appearance with natural shadow lines mimicking premium materials
Extended lifespan through reinforced construction resisting cracking and splitting

Advanced Material Composition

Every Landmark shingle contains carefully selected materials engineered for maximum performance:

Fiberglass Mat Base provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This reinforcement layer maintains dimensional stability preventing warping while remaining lighter than traditional organic mat shingles.

Water-Resistant Asphalt refined to specific formulations creates waterproofing barriers protecting roof decks from moisture infiltration. CertainTeed’s proprietary asphalt blends maintain flexibility through temperature extremes.

Ceramic-Coated Mineral Granules tightly embedded in the surface provide multiple benefits—UV protection, fire resistance, color retention, and impact resistance. These granules won’t wash away during heavy rains or fade during intense sun exposure.

NailTrak Technology: Installation Innovation

CertainTeed’s exclusive NailTrak feature revolutionizes installation accuracy and speed. The extra-wide nailing area—three times wider than standard shingles—provides clear targeting ensuring proper fastener placement.

Why this matters for Long Island homeowners:

Faster installation means your roof replacement completes more quickly—critical when weather windows close or storms threaten.

Improved accuracy ensures every nail hits the reinforced strike zone. Properly placed fasteners maximize wind resistance and prevent blow-offs during nor’easters.

Reduced installation errors that void warranties or compromise performance. The visual guide eliminates guesswork ensuring professional results.

Better long-term performance because correctly fastened shingles maintain integrity throughout their lifetime. Improperly nailed shingles fail prematurely regardless of material quality.

County Roofing Systems’ certified installers leverage NailTrak technology combining it with our 35+ years of expertise ensuring every Landmark roof meets manufacturer specifications exactly.

QuadraBond Adhesive System

Superior adhesive technology separates premium shingles from basic products. CertainTeed’s QuadraBond Technology creates four points of adhesion per shingle—industry-leading protection against shingle delamination and blow-off.

Competitors typically provide two or three adhesion points. QuadraBond’s four-point system delivers:

Enhanced wind resistance keeping shingles sealed during sustained high winds
Superior weather protection preventing water infiltration between layers
Improved long-term bonding that doesn’t degrade over decades
Reduced risk of shingle lifting or tearing during extreme weather events

The adhesive placement—positioned low on each shingle’s back—prevents gum-up in nail guns while ensuring complete coverage. This thoughtful engineering speeds installation while maximizing protection.

Fire Resistance and Safety

All Landmark shingles carry Underwriters Laboratories Class A fire resistance rating—the highest available for residential roofing materials.

This certification means Landmark shingles passed rigorous testing demonstrating:

Resistance to severe fire exposure from external sources
Ability to prevent flame spread across roof surfaces
Protection against burning brand penetration through roofing layers

Class A fire rating may qualify homeowners for insurance premium discounts. Speak with your insurance agent about potential savings after installing Landmark shingles on your Long Island home.

Impact Resistance Options

CertainTeed offers Landmark Premium with UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance—the highest rating available protecting against hail damage and falling debris.

Class 4 shingles withstand impacts from 2-inch diameter steel balls dropped from 20 feet without cracking or losing granules. This enhanced protection proves valuable during severe Long Island storms bringing hail or breaking tree branches.

Impact-resistant shingles often qualify homeowners for insurance discounts offsetting their higher initial costs through reduced premiums over the roof’s lifetime.

Energy Efficiency and ENERGY STAR Compliance

Many Landmark shingle colors achieve ENERGY STAR certification through reflective granule technology reducing heat absorption during summer months.

Energy-efficient roofing delivers:

Lower air conditioning costs during Long Island’s hot, humid summers
Reduced attic temperatures protecting HVAC equipment and stored items
Extended shingle lifespan by minimizing thermal stress and aging
Environmental benefits through decreased energy consumption

Homeowners installing ENERGY STAR rated Landmark shingles may qualify for federal tax credits—consult your tax advisor about available incentives offsetting installation costs.

For homeowners prioritizing maximum energy efficiency, Landmark Solaris incorporates Cool Roof Technology reflecting up to 44% of solar heat. This specialized granule surface blend dramatically reduces roof temperatures and heat transfer into living spaces—lowering air conditioning workloads and saving substantial energy costs over decades.

Warranty Coverage That Actually Protects You

CertainTeed’s warranty program represents the roofing industry’s gold standard—comprehensive protection backing both materials and performance.

Lifetime Limited Transferable Warranty covers manufacturing defects for as long as the original homeowner owns the property. This warranty transfers to subsequent owners maintaining protection and enhancing resale value.

10-Year SureStart Protection provides the industry’s best coverage during critical early years. SureStart covers 100% of material AND labor costs—including tear-off, disposal, flashing, and metal work—to repair any manufacturing defects discovered during the first decade.

Most competitors’ warranties cover only material replacement—leaving homeowners paying installation labor. CertainTeed’s SureStart protection includes everything needed to make repairs right.

25-Year StreakFighter Warranty guarantees algae resistance protecting against black streaks and discoloration throughout Long Island’s humid conditions. This comprehensive algae coverage exceeds competitors by 15 years.

15-Year, 110 MPH Wind Resistance Warranty protects against blow-off during severe weather. When County Roofing Systems installs your Landmark roof using required CertainTeed starter shingles and hip and ridge accessories, we can upgrade coverage to 130 MPH wind warranty—protection that matters during coastal storms.
