The challenge and how we solved it
Wind had damaged the roof, and the fix was a full replacement. Once the old shingles came off, the crew checked the decking for soft or water-damaged areas before installing anything new.
The crew installed a complete CertainTeed Landmark PRO system in Moire Black over new underlayment, and replaced the soffit, the ridge vent and the front porch flashing.

The finished project
Why these materials
Landmark PRO is CertainTeed’s premium architectural shingle. CertainTeed lists a lifetime limited transferable warranty, a 30-year StreakFighter algae-resistance warranty, a 110 mph wind rating (upgradable to 160 mph with CertainTeed starter and ridge products), a UL Class A fire rating and UL 2218 Class 3 impact resistance. Details are on CertainTeed’s Landmark PRO page. See our CertainTeed Landmark page for more.
Keeping your roof in good shape
- Clean your gutters after the fall leaf drop and again in spring. Clogged gutters push water back under the edge of the roof.
- Check your attic a couple of times a year for water stains, and keep attic vents clear so moisture can escape.
- After strong storms or wind warnings from the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington office in Sterling, look over your roof from the ground for missing or lifted shingles.
- Keep tree limbs trimmed back from the roof so branches don’t scrape shingles or drop debris into valleys.
- In winter, watch for ice building up along the eaves. Heavy ice dams are worth a call.
