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.

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.
