House Shingles for Elegant Homes
Traditional Homes Need Carriage House Shingles
In an era of cookie-cutter McMansions, nothing stands out like a well-maintained older home. But while old homes are beautiful, maintaining them can be a big challenge.
These painted ladies flourished in a time without many of our modern roofing options. Keeping them up to code can be a big struggle. CertainTeed’s Carriage House architectural shingles mimic the look of scalloped natural slate or wood shake roof tiles.
CertainTeed Carriage House shingles are premium luxury shingles, painstakingly designed to create a unique, one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted appearance that evokes the look of scalloped edge natural slate and wood shakes. The shingles feature cut-away corners and wide, dark shadow lines, which create a dramatic, distinctive roofline and enhance the style and curb appeal of historic homes.
Carriage House shingles are specifically designed for steep-slope roofs and are often recommended for Victorian, Colonial, and other historic-style homes. They offer the durability and easy maintenance of asphalt shingles, as well as a variety of color options. Carriage House shingles come in 9 color options, with most colors having grey or black characteristics, but also offering brown, red, and green.
The availability of these colors depends on the region. The shingles are made with a fiberglass base, providing a super-heavyweight design for significant protection.
If you’re tired of constant roof leaks and roof repairs, a Carriage House roof replacement is a great investment. Carriage House luxury shingles provide a more dramatic luxury appearance compared to standard asphalt shingles, offering superior wind and fire resistance. You not only save time and money on maintenance and repairs, you can also cut your utility bills.

Make Sure Your Home is Ready for Carriage House Shingles
At 425 pounds per square, Carriage House shingles are the heaviest CertainTeed shingles you can buy. They’re almost twice as heavy as CertainTeed’s highly-regarded Landmark shingles.
This makes them very durable, energy-efficient, and impact resistant. But it also means that your roofing contractor must take steps to ensure your house is ready to handle a heavy roof.
We have extensive experience with residential and commercial roof reframing. We can check to see if your roof can handle the weight. If not, we can make any reinforcements or roof frame changes necessary.
We do the job right the first time, so you can enjoy your new Carriage House roof with peace of mind. If you want the best roof in the business, you need to hire the best roofing specialists.
Carriage House Shingles Protect Your Home and Family
Carriage House shingles offer Class A fire resistance, meeting ASTM E108 standards.
This high level of fire resistance helps protect your home against windblown sparks and lightning strikes, and also prevents fires that start inside your home from spreading to the roof. You and your family get valuable time to escape, and firefighters have a better chance to contain the damage before the entire structure is alight.
You also get UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance with your Carriage House roof. Carriage House shingles have a Class 4 Impact Rating and are classified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), meeting strict industry standards such as ASTM D3018, Type I and ICC-ES.
CertainTeed designs Carriage House shingles to withstand multiple 20-foot impacts from a 2-inch steel ball without cracking or damage, making them a reliable choice for protection against windblown debris or hailstorms.
Carriage House roofing shingles provide reliable wind resistance, withstanding winds of up to 110 MPH, and we can install your roof to withstand up to 130 MPH winds. Your roof will be safe from wind uplift and wind damage even during the worst squalls and nor’easters.
Carriage House shingles are backed by a 30-year algae resistance warranty, a standard lifetime-limited transferable warranty, and can qualify for a 50-year non-prorated enhanced SureStart PLUS warranty.
CertainTeed Roofing uses only high-quality materials to ensure the durability and longevity of Carriage House shingles. These features make Carriage House shingles a reliable and high-quality choice for homeowners seeking long-term protection and peace of mind.

Eight Different Colors to Choose From
CertainTeed's Integrity Roof System Products
Carriage House shingles are a part of CertainTeed’s Integrity Roof System. The Integrity Roof System is a complete roof system. It accounts for everything from underlayment to shingles, accessories, flashing, and vents.
Carriage House shingles cost around $8.00-$10.00 per square foot, which is approximately double the cost of an architectural shingle roof. Upgrading to copper flashing can further increase the overall cost.
While Carriage House shingles require a higher initial investment, they offer long-term value and protection for homeowners. CertainTeed Roofing also offers a range of other shingle options to fit different budgets, so homeowners can choose the best solution for their needs.
If your roofer follows every step of CertainTeed’s instructions, your new Integrity Roof will provide the best protection available. But those instructions are very detailed. Any missed steps or cut corners, and your roof no longer meets CertainTeed standards.
County Roofing is a CertainTeed certified Master Craftsman roofing contractor. We’ve installed many Integrity Roofs and our roofers are all old hands at following the instructions. When you install your Carriage House roof with County Roofers, you’re eligible for the best warranties CertainTeed offers.
1. Waterproofing Underlayment
Wind driven water from storms can lead to shingle damage and even deck rot. CertainTeed’s self-adhering underlayment protects your deck from rain.
2. Water-Resistant Underlayment
To make doubly certain that your roof can handle heavy Long Island rains, CertainTeed installers then add a second layer to ensure that your roof stays watertight.
3. Starter Shingles
Starter Shingles at the roof edges help stop wind uplift and water infiltration.
4. Shingles
When you choose Carriage House shingles, County Roofing installs them in accordance with CertainTeed’s instructions to ensure they stay on your roof despite inclement weather.
5. Hip & Ridge Caps
Our hip & ridge caps don’t just look good. They also are required for CertainTeed’s 130 MPH wind warranty.
6. Ventilation
The Integrity Roof System includes vents that help keep air circulating in the system. This prevents black mold and roof overheating that can damage your shingles.
