CertainTeed Landmark Solaris

What This Service Involves

Landmark Solaris uses specially engineered granules that reflect more of the sun's energy than standard asphalt shingles, helping reduce attic heat gain during the increasingly warm Northwest summers. It keeps the layered, architectural profile of the Landmark family, so homeowners do not trade appearance for efficiency. While the Puget Sound climate is mild, reflective shingles can still ease cooling loads on sunnier south- and west-facing slopes. It suits homeowners who want energy-conscious roofing without changing the classic dimensional aesthetic.

Benefits

Reflective granules that help cut summer attic heat; architectural profile for a dimensional roofline; useful on sun-exposed slopes during warmer PNW summers; algae-resistant surface to fight damp-climate streaking; energy-minded choice that keeps a traditional look

Our Process

1) Tear off the old roof and check decking for damage; 2) Install ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys plus synthetic underlayment; 3) Lay Landmark Solaris shingles per CertainTeed's fastening and offset guidelines; 4) Finish with matching hips and ridges and detail all flashings

What Affects the Cost

Roof size in squares; pitch and number of stories; complexity of valleys, dormers, and penetrations; deck condition and any sheathing work; tear-off and haul-away of old material
