CertainTeed Roofing Shingles
CertainTeed roofing shingles are fiberglass asphalt shingles designed for long-term performance. Built with a reinforced fiberglass base, weather-resistant asphalt, and durable granules, they help protect your roof against wind, rain, and seasonal temperature changes while maintaining a clean, finished look.
CertainTeed Shingles We Install
TRADIONAL LOOK
Strip Shingles
Strip shingles (3-tab) are the most straightforward asphalt shingle profile. They have a flatter, uniform appearance and are commonly used for simple rooflines or budget-focused projects. This category is best when you want a traditional look and a practical replacement without stepping up to a thicker, dimensional profile.
Type of CertainTeed strip shingles:
XT™ 25 (3-tab/strip shingle option)
COMMON CATEGORY FOR HOMEOWNERS
Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles (also called dimensional or laminate shingles) are built with layered construction to create a thicker, more textured look. This is the most common category for homeowners who want a strong blend of curb appeal and long-term value, and Landmark® shingles are a top model for this option.
Types of CertainTeed dimensional shingles:
- Landmark®
- Landmark® PRO
- Landmark® ClimateFlex®
- Landmark® Solaris®
- Landmark® PRO Solaris®
- Patriot®
- Patriot® XL
PREMIUM ROOF PROFILE
Luxury Shingles
Luxury shingles are designed for homeowners who want a premium roof profile with dramatic shadow lines and upscale styling. These shingles are made to replicate high-end materials like natural slate or cedar shake. They’re a great choice when the roof is highly visible from the street, and curb appeal is a top priority.
Types of CertainTeed luxury shingles:
Slate-inspired designer shingles
- Grand Manor®
- Carriage House®
- Highland Slate®
- Belmont® IR
Shake-inspired designer shingles
- Presidential® Shake®
- Presidential® Shake® TL

Choose By Performance Needs
After choosing your category, the next step is selecting the performance type that fits your roof’s exposure, your energy-efficiency goals, and your long-term durability priorities.
Impact Resistance (hail and storm debris)
If you want added protection against hail, debris, and storm impacts, choose impact-resistant (IR) shingle types. These options are available in both architectural and luxury categories and are a popular upgrade for homeowners who want extra peace of mind.
Cool Roof Performance (Solaris® Cool Roof)
For roofs that take heavy sun exposure, Solaris® Cool Roof shingle types are designed for improved solar reflectivity and reduced heat absorption. Solaris options are available across select architectural and luxury lines, giving you flexibility in both style and performance.
Polymer-Modified Performance (ClimateFlex®)
If your priority is all-weather durability and enhanced flexibility, ClimateFlex® shingles use polymer-modified technology designed for tougher conditions. ClimateFlex is a performance-driven option within the architectural category.

NuHome’s roofing team follows CertainTeed’s published installation instructions for your specific shingle, including proper nailing placement, correct fasteners, and the right detailing at valleys, penetrations, and roof-to-wall transitions. We also install the supporting roof components, CertainTeed, like underlayment and waterproofing protection in vulnerable areas, and a balanced ventilation approach to help prevent moisture issues and heat buildup.
