Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
CertainTeed Landmark is a dual-layer architectural asphalt shingle that delivers a dimensional, wood-shake look on Puget Sound homes.
Landmark is CertainTeed's most popular laminated shingle, built from two bonded layers that create depth and shadow lines across the roof. Its broad color range suits everything from Craftsman bungalows in Tacoma to newer builds around Everett, and the granule blends read well under the region's flat, overcast light. The dual-layer construction adds weight and body that help the shingle lie flat and resist wind lift through wet Northwest winters. It is a dependable middle-of-the-road choice for homeowners who want architectural style without stepping up to a luxury line.
Two-layer laminate construction for real dimensional depth; wide palette that flatters PNW light and siding; solid all-around performer for most residential roofs; algae-resistant granules that help fight the streaking common in damp climates; approachable price point for architectural style
1) Tear off old roofing and inspect the deck for soft or rotted sheathing; 2) Install ice-and-water membrane at eaves and valleys plus a synthetic underlayment across the field; 3) Set starter strip and lay Landmark shingles to CertainTeed's nailing and offset pattern; 4) Finish with matching hip and ridge caps and detail all flashings and penetrations
Roof size and number of squares; pitch and how many stories; complexity from valleys, dormers, and penetrations; condition of the existing deck and any sheathing replacement; tear-off and disposal of old layers
Drier stretches from late spring through early fall give the best window for tear-off and installation in the Puget Sound region.
