(801) 269-1276 What Qualifications Does a Roofer Need? Becoming a certified roofing contractor isn’t easy. Just like you want your auto mechanic to be properly trained and certified before working on your vehicle, you want to be sure that your roofer has done the same before allowing him to work on the sensitive and complex roofing system of your home. A certified roofer receives certifications from some of the most well respected certifying organizations in the industry, usually a product manufacturer. Credentials provided by these manufacturer’s show that a roofing company can be trusted to provide efficient, high-quality, reliable roofing repairs and replacements. Recognized certified roofing credentials include: Silver Star and Gold Star credentials which are given to the best commercial roofing companies by CertainTeed, a leading national building materials manufacturer. ShingleMaster and SELECT ShingleMaster credentials which are also given by CertainTeed to residential roofing specialists. Both the Gold Star and SELECT ShingleMaster credentials are the most prestigious. Requirements for Gold Star CertainTeed Certification To receive this certification, a roofing contractor must: Install CertainTeed commercial roofing Have been in business for at least five years Have bonding capability greater than $1 million Be authorized to offer no-dollar-limit warranties up to 25 years Requirements for SELECT ShingleMaster Certification To receive this certification, a roofing contractor must: Have been in business for at least five years or have been a ShingleMaster for one year Currently employ a Shingle Quality Specialist Hold workers’ compensation insurance and roofing liability insurance Maintain a high level of customer satisfaction—a four-star average on a five-star scale Have the company owner pass a Business Fiscal Responsibility™ exam These are the highest roofing credentials, which means American Roofing represents exceptional quality and knowledge in the roofing industry.
