Architectural asphalt with a wood-shake look

CERTAINTEED SHINGLES

Landmark, Landmark PRO and Landmark TL — what separates them, how the colors behave on an East Texas roof, and what the manufacturer warranty does and does not cover.

THE CERTAINTEED LINEUP — AND WHO EACH OPTION SUITS

Landmark

Most Tyler-area homes replacing a worn three-tab or builder-grade roof.

The core architectural profile in the family. Two-piece laminate construction gives the dimensional, wood-shake-style appearance most homeowners are after, in a wide standard color range.

Official product page

Landmark PRO

Homeowners who want more visual weight and richer color than standard Landmark.

A thicker, heavier build than Landmark, offered in CertainTeed's Max Def color blends. The extra depth reads most clearly on long, visible roof planes and steeper pitches.

Official product page

Landmark TL

Larger or higher-end homes where the roof is a main design feature.

A triple-laminate shingle — three layers instead of two — producing the deepest shadow lines and the closest asphalt impression of hand-split shake in the Landmark family.

Official product page

We recommend based on your roof's pitch, sightlines, budget and how long you plan to stay in the home — not on which line carries the biggest rebate. Formulations and options differ between Landmark lines; NorthGate is a specific formulation and is not part of every Landmark shingle.

CHOOSING A COLOR THAT WORKS ON YOUR STREET

  • Driftwood and Chestnut offer warm blends to compare with brick and stone.
  • Max Def Charcoal Black creates a strong contrast with white, light brick and gray exteriors.
  • Look at samples on the roof, not on the ground: pitch and sun angle change how much of the shadow line you actually see from the street.
  • Check with your HOA before finalizing. Many Tyler-area associations keep an approved roof color list.

Colors and product availability vary by region, production run and time of year. Screens also shift color. Always compare a current physical sample on your roof, in daylight, before ordering.

THE ROOF SYSTEM AROUND THE SHINGLE

Underlayment

The water-shedding layer over your decking, and the backstop if wind lifts a shingle during a storm.

Shingles

Landmark, Landmark PRO or Landmark TL, laid to CertainTeed's published installation instructions for the profile you choose.

Ventilation

Intake and exhaust in balance. In East Texas heat, an under-vented attic cooks the roof from below and shortens its service life.

Hip and ridge

Purpose-made caps finish the ridges and hips cleanly instead of cut-up field shingles.

CertainTeed calls this combined approach the Integrity Roof System. We'll show you exactly which components your quote includes, and which existing components we're keeping.

MANUFACTURER WARRANTY VS. OUR WORKMANSHIP

  • Your CertainTeed material warranty is issued by CertainTeed and covers the manufactured products. Read the terms for your specific shingle line.
  • Yosemite Roofing's workmanship warranty covers our labor and installation. It is a separate promise from a separate company.
  • CertainTeed's SureStart PLUS extended coverage depends on contractor credentials and on the roof system qualifying. We won't state that your roof is eligible until we've confirmed eligibility for your specific project in writing.
  • Registration windows, transfer rules and proration all live in CertainTeed's own warranty documents. We'll hand you the paperwork rather than paraphrase it.

If a warranty claim ever comes up, we help you file it — but the manufacturer decides material claims, and we decide workmanship claims.

CERTAINTEED QUESTIONS EAST TEXAS HOMEOWNERS ASK

Is Landmark PRO worth the upgrade over standard Landmark in Tyler?

It depends on how much roof you actually see. On a home with broad, street-facing planes the extra thickness and Max Def color depth is visible from the curb and usually worth it. On a low-visibility roof behind mature trees, standard Landmark spends your money better elsewhere — like ventilation or decking repair.

How do CertainTeed shingles handle East Texas summer heat?

East Texas roofs face sun, heat and seasonal storms. Correct installation, suitable attic ventilation and maintenance all matter. Ask us to review your roof and attic conditions alongside the shingle options; a brand name alone does not determine service life.

Will a dark charcoal roof make my house hotter?

Color affects surface temperature, but insulation levels and attic airflow drive what you feel indoors far more. If summer cooling cost is your main concern, we'd rather talk about your ventilation and insulation than steer your color choice.

Can you match the Landmark color already on my roof?

Sometimes. Color blends get revised and discontinued over the years, so an exact match on a partial repair isn't guaranteed. We'll pull a current sample and show you the difference in daylight before you commit to a repair versus a full replacement.

Do I have to use CertainTeed accessories with a CertainTeed shingle?

For a system-level warranty, the required components matter — that's specified in CertainTeed's own documentation. We'll tell you plainly which accessories your quote includes and what that means for coverage.
