Protect Your Investment

What Can Void Your Roof Warranty

Knowing these common warranty pitfalls can save you thousands. Pittsabana ensures none of these issues arise during installation.

Non-Certified Installation

Warranty requires installation by a CertainTeed-credentialed contractor.

Improper Ventilation

Inadequate attic ventilation causes premature shingle deterioration.

Unauthorized Modifications

Satellite dishes, skylights, or penetrations without proper flashing.

Neglecting Known Damage

Failing to address visible damage or leaks voids coverage.

Pressure Washing

High-pressure cleaning strips protective granules from shingles.

Incompatible Materials

Mixing non-CertainTeed products can void manufacturer coverage.

The Pittsabana Difference

How We Protect Your Warranty

01

Certified Installation Process

Every Pittsabana installation follows CertainTeed's exact specifications — from underlayment application to nailing patterns. This precision is what activates the full SureStart PLUS warranty coverage that standard installers cannot offer.

02

Proper Ventilation Engineering

We calculate and install the correct ratio of intake and exhaust ventilation for your specific roof geometry. Pittsburgh's 80+ freeze-thaw cycles per winter make proper ventilation critical — both for your roof's lifespan and for maintaining valid warranty coverage.

03

Complete Documentation & Registration

After every installation, we register your warranty directly with CertainTeed and provide you with all documentation. This ensures your coverage is active from day one and simplifies any future claims process.

04

Post-Installation Support

Your relationship with Pittsabana doesn't end at installation. We're available for warranty questions, annual inspections, and — if ever needed — we'll handle the warranty claim process with CertainTeed on your behalf.

Warranty FAQs

Common Warranty Questions

What does the CertainTeed SureStart PLUS warranty cover?
The CertainTeed SureStart PLUS warranty covers both the cost of replacement materials AND the labor to install them if a manufacturing defect is found. For the first 10 years (or 15 years with qualifying products), CertainTeed pays 100% of both material and labor costs. After the initial period, the warranty continues to cover materials on a prorated basis for up to 50 years depending on the product line. This dual coverage is only available through certified installers like Pittsabana.
How long does a CertainTeed roof warranty last?
CertainTeed warranties range from 20 years to a Lifetime Limited Warranty depending on the product. Landmark shingles carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty with 10-year SureStart coverage. Landmark PRO shingles include 15-year SureStart PLUS coverage. When installed by a certified contractor like Pittsabana, your warranty coverage is significantly enhanced compared to a standard installer warranty.
What voids a roof warranty in Pittsburgh?
Common actions that can void your roof warranty include: installation by non-certified contractors, improper ventilation, unauthorized modifications or penetrations, failure to address known damage, pressure washing shingles, walking on the roof unnecessarily, installing satellite dishes without proper flashing, and using incompatible roofing materials. Pittsabana's certified installation process ensures all warranty requirements are met from day one.
Does Pittsabana offer a workmanship warranty?
Yes. In addition to CertainTeed's manufacturer warranty, Pittsabana provides our own workmanship guarantee covering the quality of our installation. This means you're doubly protected — the manufacturer stands behind the materials, and Pittsabana stands behind the work. Our 5.0-star rating across all platforms reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Is my warranty transferable if I sell my home?
Yes. CertainTeed warranties are transferable to subsequent homeowners, which increases your home's resale value. The warranty must be transferred within the first 60 days of the property sale. Pittsabana assists homeowners with the warranty transfer process at no additional cost.
Why does certified installation matter for my warranty?
When a non-certified contractor installs CertainTeed products, you only receive a limited material-only warranty. When a certified installer like Pittsabana performs the installation, you unlock the full SureStart PLUS warranty covering both materials AND labor. This upgraded coverage can save homeowners thousands of dollars if a warranty claim arises.
