We’re number one: Long Roofing earns coveted warranty award four years in a row
Published on Friday March 24, 2017This is a big deal: Long Roofing is one of the roofing warranty leaders in North America for the fourth year in a row.
How? Long Roofing registered more SureStart PLUS® roofing warranties than any other company on the continent.
“Long Roofing has made a commitment to offer our customers the highest level of peace of mind when it comes to replacing the roof on their home,” John DePaola, CEO of Long Roofing, says. “We have achieved this top honor by providing more customers with this peace of mind warranty than any other roofing company in the country. Giving our customers this level of comfort fits squarely with our ultimate mission.”
Why roofing warranties matter to you
Hopefully, your roofing warranty never has to be used. However, there are times when Mother Nature has her own plans. A warranty will protect you from life’s unknown circumstances.
The SureStart PLUS warranty, which can cover your roof up to 50 years, is built on a bedrock foundation of best installation practices and industry-leading roofing materials. You are buying one of the strongest roofs available in the market — and you are protected if there’s ever an issue in the future.
“A roof is protection for your entire home, protecting family members and belongings,” Mr. DePaola says. “For many families, it covers their most valuable possessions. We are so pleased to be able to add this rock-solid warranty to our professional installations with a policy that will replace the entire roof if anything were to happen in the next 50 years! We can sleep at night knowing our customers have the highest available coverage.”

How to get a 50-year roofing warranty
The SureStart PLUS roofing warranty is based on a simple equation. A superior roof system plus accredited installation equals an amazing warranty.
Installing the Integrity Roof System is the first requirement for the 50-year, five star SureStart PLUS roofing warranty. The Integrity Roof System is based on certain roofing specs and these include:
- The use of Winterguard waterproof underlayment.
- An additional layer of Roofer’s Select or Diamond Deck high-performance underlayment.
- An assigned starter shingle for each roofing shingle.
- The use of CertainTeed shingles.
- The installation of ridge vents; hip and ridge caps; drip edge; new metal flashing; and specified intake venting.

Even with these specific roofing materials, your roof is not eligible for the 50-year, five-star warranty without the right workmanship. The roofing contractor on your roof replacement must have advanced CertainTeed credentials — like, in the case of Long Roofing, exclusive CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster™ accreditation. Only one percent of American roofers earns this level of roofing certification.

What is covered by the SureStart PLUS five-star, 50-year warranty?
- The future cost of shingles and labor for repairs is covered 100 percent.
- You’ll receive non-prorated coverage throughout protection period.
- The roofing warranty is transferrable to a new homeowner.
Roofing warranty notes
Remember to review product details. The SureStart PLUS 5-Star roofing warranty is an optional enhancement to other product warranties that vary based on the type of roofing materials you choose. Asphalt 3-tab shingles, for example, may be covered by a 20- to 25-year product warranty. Dimensional asphalt shingles, a more durable product, come with a 50-year warranty.

Product warranties don’t cover labor. With product warranties, only the material itself can be replaced at a prorated replacement cost.
The SureStart PLUS 5-Star warranty covers all labor costs for repair or replacement. Proration is eliminated. The product is transferrable to one property owner for up to 15 years after installation.
