"Lost entire side"
Installed this product in June of 2013 and by the winter time we had lost an entire side to a wind storm. Was told they were the best but in the end only got a 10 year upfront warranty. Elite Roofing Construction in Windsor, Ontario sold us a warranty that was worth nothing but the paper it was written on. In their presentation they had said they had researched all products on the market and this is the best and that's why they sell it. They even had a fancy comparison chart showing theirs to be the best. All I can say is watch out for slick talking salesmen offering warranties that appear to be too good to be true. This company should be ashamed of themselves. I paid $1000.00 more than the other quotes and they wont even call me back. Disgruntled and ripped off.

"Don't buy Cetainteed - I need a lawyer"
I had shingles put on to replace my roof in 2006. Dec 2012 shingles fell off 1/2 of the whole roof! I'm still paying a loan to my city for this. I contacted the original roofer McKenna Bros. They won't fix this free of charge and CertainTeed won't help me. These are 3 Tab cedar shingles from CertainTeed. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody after my troubles. Now its 2015 and the other 1/2 of my roof is losing shingles twice already. Do not buy. Has anyone got a lawyer for me. I live in Quincy, Massachusetts!

"Certainteed doesn't stand by their warranty"
My house was built in 2004 and CertainTeed shingles were used. They came with a supposed 30 year guarantee. The shingles began to fail within 6 years of installation and now after 10 years are very bad and must be replaced. I attempted to file for a replacement under the warranty and the company's made the process very difficult. With help from my roofer I was able to file the request but CertainTeed paid only for the cost if the shingles themselves, prorated for the number of years they had been in use. They will not pay anything for labor. If their shingles weren't faulty I wouldn't be having my roof replaced! Their check covers only about 18% of the cost of the new roof even though it's completely their fault that I need a new one. I will never use CertainTeed products again and I will tell everyone I can not to do so either

"Stained white paint"
Four years ago we put on a Certain Teed lifetime roof and had the house professional painted. We painted our Colonial-era home white. Within one year - the black from the roof began to stain the beautiful white paint - the house looks terrible! The roofer has gone out of business. Thirty thousand dollars was the cost of the roof and painting... the house is a heartbreak and needs a new roof and will need to be repainted. My dream house is a mess...

"Don't Buy CertainTeed"
We built a new home in 2008, and put CertainTeed Landmark 30 year shingles on. After 2 years noticed problems with the granules coming off. We thought we had hail. Finally got a certified CertainTeed roofer out and he told us our shingles were already going bad. CertainTeed just offered us $1,200 towards new shingles, and then only if they were CertainTeed brand. The shingles are terrible, and so is their warranty. Don't buy CertainTeed shingles.

"UNcertainteed!"
When we built our house 11 years ago, the contractor put CertainTeed Architectural shingles on our house. Within the first 6 months we turned in numerous complaints about loose shingles (flapping in the wind) and during every normal wi storm we lost shingles, finding them all over our yard. We got very little assistance from the builder and CertainTeed did nothing despite contacting them numerous times over the last several years. We are now in the process of replacing our 11 year old roof and will not purchase anything made by CertainTeed ever again. Their product is junk and they don't/won't stand behind their warranty - they just give excuses. Don't buy CertainTeed garbage.

"Paid extra for a 30 yr. Totally shot after 15"
When it was time to evaluate options 15 years ago opted to pay more for a "better" 30 year architectural shingle. I'm saying 15 years but it started to fail after 12 years. What kind of bull is that. Try to file a warranty claim ha! Stay away!

"Terrible"
Had a landmark shingle installed just over 5 years ago, and at that time, they had a 30 year warranty. I've had shingles fall off the roof, the pieces fall out, and have had several roofers out to see if my roofer messed up the job and they say "nails are in the right place, not sure what's going on." Had a Certainteed guy come out and he says its fine. Its not fine, mister. I've had a heck of a time getting anyone from this company to help me. Wouldn't recommend.

"Financially behind"
Watching the roof quickly curl in ten years. Thought we were good for thirty years. Getting behind on expenses. Figure a roof in the budget twice as often as you might think. We may skate by with a very ugly roof for five years after they begin to look so awful.

Review:
"Worst shingle ever"
We applied 112 sq to a new structure in March of 2012. Since then we have replaced 10+ square and need to replace approximately 4 more at this time. Both our contractors and the insurance adjuster have found that the lamination adhesive is minimal and non-existing on some product. We filed a claim and received their response today. They claim that the adhesive is within their specifications. This product is advertised as a 110 mph shingle, ours have only seen 60 at this point. The manufacturer is offering less than 10% of the original cost to replace only the current missing shingles and checkout each shingle tab, hand seal any loose or not sealed. They have not offered to reimburse expenses for the 10+ sq we have replaced at our own expense or the shingles that have been damaged by the others that blew off. The Landmark IR looks great when lying flat on the roof, not so good on the ground. We dislike the fact that the manufacture has not offered to send a representative to the site of this issue. We would not recommend this product or manufacture to anyone based on our experience to date.
