FAQs
What does it mean to have a manufacturer-certified roofing crew?
A manufacturer-certified crew has completed factory-authorized training on the specific products they install. The manufacturer audits our workmanship, safety practices, and business standards, then issues credentials that must be renewed periodically. This guarantees that every shingle, flashing, and fastener is installed exactly as the product designer intended, protecting both performance and warranty coverage.
Why should I choose a manufacturer-certified roofer in Rockwood?
Certification provides three key advantages: (1) Proven expertise—our installers are tested and graded by the brand engineers who created the roofing system. (2) Extended warranties—most manufacturers offer longer or upgraded warranties only when their certified contractors perform the work. (3) Local code compliance—we blend the manufacturer’s strict specifications with Rockwood’s building codes and climate requirements, ensuring your roof stands up to Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles and high winds.
Which manufacturers have certified your crew and what products do you install?
Our team holds top-tier certifications from GAF (Master Elite), CertainTeed (SELECT ShingleMaster), and Owens Corning (Preferred Contractor). These credentials authorize us to install asphalt architectural shingles, designer shingles, and complete integrated roofing systems—including underlayments, ridge vents, and ice-and-water shields—directly in accordance with each brand’s best-practice manuals.
How does manufacturer certification affect my roof warranty?
When a certified crew installs the roof, you become eligible for enhanced coverage such as GAF’s 50-year non-prorated material warranty or CertainTeed’s SureStart™ PLUS 4-Star protection. These warranties cover both materials and labor, are transferable once if you sell your Rockwood home, and are backed by the manufacturer rather than just the contractor. Non-certified installations generally receive only basic, limited material warranties.
Does hiring a certified crew cost more than using a non-certified roofer?
Up-front pricing is often comparable because we purchase materials directly from the manufacturers at volume-discounted rates. Over the life of the roof, a certified installation can actually save money by reducing callbacks, minimizing repair costs, and providing warranty protection that you would otherwise have to pay out of pocket. In short, you gain higher value, longer service life, and stronger warranty security for roughly the same investment.
How can I verify your crew’s certifications and ongoing training?
You can look us up directly on each manufacturer’s website: enter our company name or ZIP code (48173) in the contractor locator for GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning. You’ll see our active status, certification level, and any special awards. We also keep copies of our certificates and safety training records on every job site in Rockwood and will gladly email them upon request.
