How Long Will CertainTeed Landmark® Shingles Last?
If you’re in the market for new shingles, it’s crucial to have some key information before making your purchase. Shingles are typically categorized based on their life expectancy, which includes 20, 30, 40, and 50-year options. While many brands may offer a lifetime warranty, it’s essential to understand that shingles do have an average lifespan. For instance, a thirty-year shingle will typically last around 25 years with proper maintenance. Without regular upkeep, the life expectancy drops to approximately 12-15 years. It’s also worth noting that not all shingles are created equal, as there are two main types available: 3-tab and dimensional shingles. 3-tab shingles, considered 20-year shingles, usually have a lifespan of 10-15 years. On the other hand, dimensional shingles are available in three categories: 30, 40, or 50 years. CertainTeed® offers a diverse range of options, including their Landmark® Pro, Premium, and TL shingles, all backed by a 50-year limited transferable warranty, along with additional warranties.

Which CertainTeed Landmark® Shingle Should I Choose?
If you’re deliberating whether CertainTeed Landmark® shingles are a worthwhile investment and curious about their lifespan, there are several factors to consider. While shingles may have a rating of 30, 40, or 50 years, there are various elements that can affect their durability and longevity. The slope of your roof, its orientation to the sun, the color of the shingles, ventilation, maintenance practices, and weather patterns all play a role in determining the life expectancy of your shingles, regardless of their quality. It’s important to take into account how long you intend to stay in your current location to determine which Landmark® shingles are most suitable for your roof. It’s worth noting that CertainTeed® and similar companies have named their 30, 40, and 50-year shingles as Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Landmark Premium, respectively. Landmark TL is also categorized as a 50-year shingle, but its weight may not be suitable for all roof types.

Thoughts on CertainTeed Landmark® Shingles
Having a comprehensive understanding of the classification of roofing shingles based on durability and expected lifespan is always advantageous. These classifications play a vital role in making informed decisions when selecting the most suitable product for your roofing requirements. For instance, the esteemed CertainTeed Landmark® shingles have undergone rigorous testing and certification, ensuring a reliable lifespan of at least 30 years. On the other hand, the exceptional CertainTeed Landmark® Premium shingles are renowned for their impressive endurance and optimal functionality, lasting up to an impressive 50 years. Nevertheless, it is crucial to remember that these durability estimates are not foolproof, as the proper installation and ongoing maintenance are critical factors in achieving the expected longevity of any roofing project. Therefore, it is wise to heed the guidance of professional installers and diligently follow the necessary care and maintenance instructions.
