FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing CertainTeed roofing products on homes in Clairfield?
CertainTeed offers a wide variety of asphalt shingles, designer architectural shingles, and luxury options that are engineered for superior wind, hail, and UV resistance—features that are essential in Clairfield’s mix of hot summers and occasional severe storms. The shingles incorporate StreakFighter® algae-resistant technology to keep roofs looking clean, and many lines meet or exceed Class A fire ratings. Homeowners also gain access to robust lifetime limited warranties and can select shingles that mimic slate, shake, or classic three-tab styles, giving them both performance and curb appeal.
Which CertainTeed siding lines perform best in Clairfield’s climate?
For Clairfield’s humid summers, chilly winters, and intermittent heavy rain, CertainTeed’s Monogram® and Cedar Impressions® vinyl lines are highly recommended. Monogram® features a rolled-over nail hem and 0.046" thickness for extra rigidity and wind resistance up to 220 mph, while Cedar Impressions® polymer shakes deliver authentic cedar texture with virtually no maintenance. Both products include PermaColor™ ColorHold technology that resists fading under strong UV exposure common in Tennessee. If additional insulation is a priority, CedarBoards™ Insulated Siding adds an integrated foam backing that can improve a wall’s R-value by up to 22 %.
Are CertainTeed roofing and siding products ENERGY STAR® certified or otherwise energy efficient?
Several CertainTeed CoolStar® shingles are ENERGY STAR® qualified, reflecting a greater portion of the sun’s rays to help reduce attic temperatures and lower summer cooling bills. On the siding side, insulated products such as CedarBoards™ meet the requirements of the ENERGY STAR® Qualified Homes program when installed over typical wall sheathing. The brand also offers ClimateFlex® impact-resistant shingle technology, which helps maintain thermal performance through wide temperature swings without sacrificing durability.
How does the CertainTeed warranty system work for roofing and siding?
CertainTeed roofs come with a lifetime limited transferable warranty on shingles, plus 10- to 15-year SureStart™ protection that covers 100 % of replacement costs—including labor—if a manufacturing defect appears during the early years. Optional SureStart PLUS™ extensions (available when credentialed contractors install a full Integrity Roof System®) can boost coverage to 50 years on materials and up to 25 years on workmanship. For siding, vinyl and polymer lines carry a lifetime limited warranty against manufacturing defects, color fade, and hail damage; the warranty is transferable to the next homeowner with some limitations on duration.
Can I install CertainTeed roofing or siding over existing materials, or is a full tear-off required?
Roofing: CertainTeed allows re-roofing over one existing layer of asphalt shingles if local building codes permit and the underlying deck is sound. However, a full tear-off is often recommended for optimum system performance, warranty eligibility, and to expose hidden rot or moisture damage. Siding: Vinyl and polymer siding should generally be installed over a flat, sound substrate. In Clairfield, many installers apply CertainTeed Vinyl Carpentry® accessories over existing wood lap or fiber-cement siding if it is in good condition and properly flashed. An inspection by a CertainTeed-credentialed contractor will determine whether removal or furring is necessary to meet warranty and code requirements.
What routine maintenance is required for CertainTeed roofs and siding in Clairfield?
Roofing: Besides annual visual inspections and gutter cleaning, CertainTeed shingles need minimal upkeep. Remove debris, trim overhanging branches, and check flashing and sealants after major storms. Avoid pressure-washing, as it can dislodge granules. Siding: Wash vinyl or polymer siding once or twice a year with a soft-bristle brush and mild detergent to remove dirt, pollen, and mildew common in humid Tennessee summers. Inspect caulk around windows and doors; replace if cracked. Because CertainTeed siding is fade-resistant and never needs painting, total maintenance time and costs remain very low compared with wood or fiber-cement alternatives.
