Leak-Free Guarantee

Backed by the Best.
Protected for Life.

Every Squatch Roofing replacement comes with a full protection stack — our 15-Year Leak-Free Guarantee plus CertainTeed’s most elite manufacturer warranty. Here’s exactly what that means for you.

Most roofing companies hand you a standard warranty and hope you never need to use it. Squatch Roofing is different. As a CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER contractor — the highest credential level CertainTeed offers — we unlock a level of warranty protection that most homeowners don’t even know exists.

When you replace your roof with Squatch, you’re covered from two directions: our own company guarantees protect you on the workmanship side, and CertainTeed’s SureStart PLUS 5-STAR warranty covers materials, labor, tear-off, and disposal for the full life of the roof. Together, it’s the most comprehensive protection stack available in residential roofing.

Everything That Covers You

Here’s every layer of protection that comes with a Squatch Roofing replacement — from our own guarantees to CertainTeed’s manufacturer coverage.

  • 15-Year Leak-Free Guarantee: Any workmanship-related leak that develops within 15 years gets fixed at no cost to you. No questions asked.
  • 24-Hour Response Commitment: If you have a concern after your install, we respond within 24 hours — not next week.
  • Temporary Leak Mitigation: If your install is scheduled and you spring a leak beforehand, we’ll address it in the interim — your home stays protected until work begins.
  • Limited Interior Damage Protection: In the rare event of an install-related issue that causes interior damage, you’re covered.
  • Full Manufacturer Advocacy: If you ever need to file a CertainTeed claim, Squatch handles it on your behalf. You don’t navigate it alone.
  • 50-Year Non-Prorated Materials Warranty: CertainTeed covers materials for the full 50 years at full value — the coverage amount never shrinks over time.
  • 30-Year Workmanship Warranty (Manufacturer-Backed): CertainTeed’s workmanship coverage runs for 30 years — separate from and in addition to our own 15-Year Leak-Free Guarantee.
  • Tear-Off and Disposal Coverage: If a covered issue ever requires a full replacement, CertainTeed covers the cost of removing and disposing of the old roof. Most warranties don’t include this.
  • 20-Year Full Transferability: Selling your home within 20 years? The full warranty transfers to the new owner — a meaningful selling point that sets your home apart.

Why CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER Changes Everything

Most roofing contractors carry a standard manufacturer warranty. Some reach the middle tiers. Very few earn ShingleMaster PREMIER status — CertainTeed’s highest credential, held by roughly 10–15 contractors in the greater Seattle market.

PREMIER status isn’t just a badge. It unlocks SureStart PLUS 5-STAR coverage — the top tier of CertainTeed’s warranty program, covering not just materials but also labor, tear-off, and disposal for the full 50-year term with zero proration.

To earn PREMIER status, Squatch Roofing had to demonstrate installation quality, volume, crew training, and customer satisfaction standards that most contractors never reach. CertainTeed grants this credential only to contractors they’re willing to stake their reputation on.

SureStart PLUS 5-STAR vs. a Typical Warranty

The gap between a typical limited warranty and SureStart PLUS 5-STAR coverage widens significantly over time — especially when you actually need it.

Coverage Area Typical Limited Warranty SureStart PLUS 5-STAR
Years 1–10 Full coverage Full coverage
Years 11–40 Prorated — value declines each year Full coverage — no reduction
Years 40–50 Capped at 20% of original value Full coverage — no reduction
Labor included No Yes
Tear-off included No Yes
Disposal included No Yes
Workmanship coverage Varies 30 years
Transferable Limited 20 years — full transfer

Your Warranty Stays Valid — Even If We Don’t

We know the question. We’re a newer company — what happens to your warranty if Squatch Roofing closes?

The CertainTeed warranty is manufacturer-backed, not contractor-backed. It remains in full force regardless of what happens to Squatch Roofing. CertainTeed has been in business for over 150 years. That backing doesn’t go away when we’re no longer involved. You own the warranty. It stays with your roof.

— FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About
Our Warranty Coverage

What’s the difference between the Squatch Guarantee and the CertainTeed warranty?
They cover different things and work together. The Squatch 15-Year Leak-Free Guarantee is our own company commitment — if a workmanship-related leak develops within 15 years, we fix it at no cost. The CertainTeed SureStart PLUS 5-STAR warranty is a manufacturer-backed warranty that covers materials, labor, tear-off, and disposal for 50 years with no proration. You get both.
Does the warranty transfer when I sell my home?
Yes. The CertainTeed SureStart PLUS 5-STAR warranty is fully transferable to new homeowners for 20 years from the install date. That’s a real selling point — most roofing warranties either don’t transfer or transfer with significant limitations.
What if Squatch Roofing goes out of business?
The CertainTeed warranty remains fully valid — it’s backed by the manufacturer, not by us. CertainTeed has been in business for over 150 years and honors warranties regardless of what happens to the installing contractor. Your coverage doesn’t depend on Squatch Roofing staying in business.
What exactly does the 15-Year Leak-Free Guarantee cover?
It covers leaks that result from our workmanship — installation errors, improper flashing, missed penetration sealing, and similar issues. If a leak develops within 15 years and it’s tied to how the roof was installed, we fix it at no cost. Storm damage or manufacturer defects would fall under the CertainTeed warranty rather than our workmanship guarantee.
How do I file a warranty claim?
Call us or submit a request through our contact page. For workmanship issues, we handle it directly. For manufacturer warranty claims, we act as your advocate — we file and manage the CertainTeed claim on your behalf so you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Is the SureStart PLUS 5-STAR warranty available on every Squatch replacement?
It’s available on qualifying CertainTeed shingle installations using the full Integrity Roof System — meaning the complete system of underlayment, accessories, and shingles, all from CertainTeed. Ask us during your estimate and we’ll confirm what tier applies to your specific project.

“Jim came by and did a very thorough inspection of the roof, both the exterior and in my attic. He did a great job explaining the results and laying out the different options available to me. Brian and Luke worked on my roof – they fixed a cracked ridge cap, cleaned moss off the shingles, cleaned the gutters, and treated the roof. I found Squatch Roofing employees to be very knowledgeable and professional, and the service to be a great value.”
