CertainTeed Product Line
CertainTeed is one of two manufacturers whose full product line we install and warranty. Below is every product we specify for Seattle-area homes — with honest guidance on which is right for your neighborhood, budget, and HOA requirements.
The Landmark is CertainTeed's flagship architectural shingle and the most-installed composite shingle on Eastside homes. Its dual-layer laminated construction creates a heavy shadow line that reads as dimensional from the street — the right profile for mid-century ramblers in Bellevue, split-levels in Kirkland, and tract homes throughout Bothell and Sammamish. Available in SureStart PLUS limited lifetime warranty upgrade. AR (StreakFighter) option blocks algae streaking — the standard specification for Seattle-area installations.
The Landmark Pro steps up to a true limited lifetime warranty and a heavier shingle weight — 240 lbs per square vs. the standard Landmark's 225. The extra weight adds wind and impact resistance, and the wider shadow line delivers a more architectural appearance. For homeowners in Redmond Ridge, Klahanie, Bridle Trails, or other neighborhoods where curb appeal is a genuine priority, the Pro is the right value proposition: a meaningful visual and performance upgrade at a modest per-square premium.
Landmark Premium is a Class 4 impact-resistant (UL 2218) shingle with 130-mph wind resistance — the right specification for homes in exposed locations on the Sammamish Plateau, ridge-line lots in Issaquah Highlands, or anywhere in Snohomish County that sees repeated windstorm events. Premium carries the SureStart PLUS warranty and qualifies for insurance premium discounts from most Washington state carriers. If you're replacing a roof that has sustained storm damage, Premium is the installation that prevents the same conversation in 10 years.
The Presidential TL is CertainTeed's triple-layer shake-look shingle — a heavily textured product that replicates the profile and shadow depth of hand-split cedar shake without the rot, moss, and maintenance burden that wood shake accumulates in the Pacific Northwest. It is the correct upgrade for traditional craftsman homes in Kirkland's waterfront neighborhoods, older estates in Clyde Hill and Medina, and any homeowner who wants a shake aesthetic with modern performance. Class 4 impact-rated and algae-resistant as standard.
Grand Manor is CertainTeed's four-layer laminated shingle designed to replicate cut slate. At 465 lbs per square — more than double a standard architectural shingle — Grand Manor delivers exceptional dimensional depth and the high-contrast shadow lines associated with historic slate roofing. For Bellevue and Mercer Island homes where architectural authenticity and visual impact matter, Grand Manor is the correct choice. Algae-resistant as standard.
Carriage House replicates the look of wood shingle roofing — a smaller, hand-cut profile popular on Tudor, craftsman, and cottage-style homes throughout the older neighborhoods of Kirkland, Redmond, and Totem Lake. At 390 lbs per square, it is a heavy, durable product with strong visual texture. For homeowners restoring or upgrading a home where the original profile was wood shingle (not cedar shake), Carriage House delivers authenticity that flat architectural shingles cannot match.
Belmont is CertainTeed's entry in the synthetic shake segment — a Class 4 impact-resistant product that combines the visual weight of wood shake with the performance of a modern laminated composite. At 130 mph wind resistance, Belmont is engineered for exposure. Homes on elevated lots above Sammamish Lake, ridge properties in Snoqualmie, and any location with significant wind loading benefit from Belmont's combination of visual scale and structural performance.
Why Composite
Cedar shake and slate were the premium roofing materials of the 20th century, but they carry real maintenance burdens in Washington's climate: wood shake accumulates moss, retains moisture, and splits under freeze-thaw cycling. Real slate is heavy enough to require structural reinforcement. Premium composite shingles deliver the profile and shadow depth of both materials — at a fraction of the long-term maintenance cost.
CertainTeed's Presidential TL and Grand Manor lines are the closest visual equivalent to the original materials available in a modern composite product. On homes in Kirkland's older waterfront neighborhoods, Bellevue's West Side, and Medina, they are the correct specification where visual authenticity matters.

Roof and gutter cleaning complete - they even went above and beyond and did a free roof inspection to make sure that there were no potential problem areas that could cause a leak if unaddressed. Real Great Roofing did an amazing and fast job with the cleaning. Took good care not to damage the surrounding grass and gardening work, and were quick to complete the job.

I can say enough good things about Real Great Roofing this company. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely amazing. The team arrived on time, worked with great attention to detail, and made sure everything was done perfectly. Their professionalism, honesty, and hard work really stood out. They went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the results, and I truly appreciate the effort they put into every step of the project. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and the finished results look incredible. It's rare these days to find a company that genuinely cares about its customers the way they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and skilled professionals. Definitely a 5-star service that I will use again in the future.

TPO roof installation on a new flat roof build. They're remarkably easy to work with as a general contractor. Recommend to both GCs and homeowners.

I really did not want to leave this review as five stars and I will tell you why: I WANTED TO LEAVE 6! Did these gentlemen respond to my call, even when I did not leave a voicemail, as I was cold calling multiple places for an emergency fix? They did. Were they courteous, up front, honest, and most importantly, no pressure? They absolutely were. Did they offer to purchase new shingles, in the correct color, at no extra charge to me, after I shared I had mistakenly bought the wrong color? Yes! Did they arrive promptly, same day, after allowing me to send some photos of the repair area to provide an initial estimate? Surely they did. Most of all, was the work of the absolute highest quality, completed in good time and order, with care for craft and my piece of mind as the top priority? I can say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, YES! If you want the job done quickly, done right, by honest folks with integrity and character, call Real Great Roofing.

Composite shingles are laminated asphalt-based shingles made with a fiberglass mat, asphalt binder, and ceramic granules — the same basic construction as standard asphalt, but engineered to replicate the profile and texture of wood shake, slate, or tile. The term 'composite' is often used interchangeably with 'architectural' or 'laminated.' Premium composite lines like CertainTeed's Presidential TL and Grand Manor use three or four bonded layers to achieve genuine dimensional depth.
For most King County homes, Landmark Pro is the best value — lifetime warranty, meaningful wind resistance, and strong visual profile. For homes with cedar shake aesthetics, Presidential TL. For homes with exposed siting or HOA requirements for premium profiles, Landmark Premium or Grand Manor. We walk you through the exact specification for your home, neighborhood, and budget during the free estimate.
