Asking the right questions is the key to selecting the right contractor.

Certified roofing contractors are:

• Fully licensed in their state (or local area) to perform roofing work*
• Adequately insured for your protection
• Have a proven reputation for providing quality roofing services throughout the community
• Committed to ongoing professional training to ensure quality installation

*Only the top 3% of all roofing contractors have qualified as Certified contractors!

Choosing a Certified contractor is your assurance that you'll be dealing with a quality, reputable, and dependable professional contractor - not some "fly-by-nighter."

• Installation errors account for 47% of all roof failures. Use a factory certified and trained roofing contractor.
• Master Elite: only the very best 900 contractors out of 300,000 contractors in the nation.
• Duro-Last: only the very best 2,200 contractors out of 300,000 in the US.
• Warranty Scams: Most manufacturers look for installation error to turn down liability. Pick factory certified contractors so that does not happen to you.
• Family Health: Ventilation
  • Most roofing contractors do not know how to calculate adequate ventilation requirements.
  • Inadequate ventilation causes mold. Mold needs 3 things to promote growth; moisture, heat and organic materials. All three are found in inadequately ventilated attics.
  • 85% of all homes do not have enough ventilation. (DOE: EPA Study 2006)
  • A 2% moisture content in the attic will drop the R-Value of insulation 33%. That's 1/3 loss in insulation by not having adequate ventilation. Non-Ventilated roofs are expensive, costing you higher electric bills every month.

To ensure your total satisfaction, a Certified contractor has been provided with extensive training materials developed by technical experts-allowing them to stay current in the latest roof installation techniques.


Most people think that a new roof is nothing more than just nailing up some roofing products. Certified contractors know better-that's why they recommend Roofing Protection Systems. It gives you the best protection against a variety of all-too-common roofing problems. Plus, each component used in the system is designed for that system to ensure proper protection, leak free performance and warranty security.


Because of their unique training and factory-certified status, roofs that are installed by Certified contractors are eligible for special warranties - all backed by the manufacturer's financial clout.

After all, a warranty is only as good as the manufacturer that stands behind it. With a Factory Certified roof, you know that you will be covered throughout the warranty period - without fail! Ask about which warranty option would be right for your home.


Don't trust your biggest asset to just any contractor. Factory-certified contractors are your best and safest choice!
