Certified Asphalt Shingle Roofing
in the Pacific Northwest
Expert asphalt shingle installation and replacement by Squatch Roofing, trusted by homeowners across Greater Seattle & the Eastside for quality work and honest recommendations.
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material across the Pacific Northwest, and for good reason. They offer a proven combination of durability, design flexibility, and cost-effectiveness that works well for the wide range of homes and weather conditions found in Greater Seattle and the Eastside.
At Squatch Roofing, every asphalt shingle installation is backed by our CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier certification, an elite designation held by fewer than 15 contractors in the local market. That means factory-trained installation, full manufacturer warranty coverage, and a finished roof that performs the way it was designed to.
Why Asphalt Shingles Remain a Top Choice
Homeowners across the region have made asphalt the go-to roofing material for decades. Their combination of performance, aesthetics, and value is hard to match:
- Cost-effective without compromising weather resistance or curb appeal
- Wide variety of colors, textures, and architectural styles to match any home
- Engineered to handle high winds, heavy rain, and algae growth common in the Pacific Northwest
- Low maintenance with a long service life when properly installed and ventilated
- Compatible with most standard residential roof framing systems
Squatch Roofing installs architectural shingles exclusively, never the older 3-tab style. Architectural shingles are thicker, more durable, and built for the wind loads and moisture exposure that come with the Pacific Northwest climate.
Asphalt Shingle Options and Installation
We offer three CertainTeed shingle packages, Economy, Pro, and Elite, so you can choose the level of performance and warranty coverage that fits your home and budget. Every tier is installed to the same exacting standard; the difference is in the materials.
Economy, CertainTeed Landmark®
Our entry-level package uses CertainTeed Landmark® architectural shingles, one of the best-selling shingle lines in North America. Landmark shingles deliver reliable weather protection, solid impact resistance, and a clean architectural look at an accessible price point. A strong choice for homeowners who need a dependable roof without the premium tier cost.
Pro, CertainTeed Landmark Pro®
Landmark Pro® is a step up in thickness, weight, and visual dimension. These shingles offer enhanced granule adhesion, improved algae resistance, and a more pronounced shadow line that gives the roof a high-end appearance. Ideal for homeowners who want a noticeable upgrade in both performance and aesthetics.
Elite, CertainTeed Presidential Shake®
Our premium tier features CertainTeed Presidential Shake®, a designer-grade shingle that delivers the authentic look of hand-split cedar shake without the maintenance or cost. Presidential Shake offers CertainTeed’s highest dimensional depth, superior impact resistance, and the longest warranty coverage available. For homeowners who want a premium roof that makes a statement, this is it.
Every project includes a full tear-off, structural deck inspection, proper underlayment, flashing, and ventilation, not just new shingles on top of old problems. We handle every detail from permits through final walkthrough.
Why Homeowners Trust Squatch for Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Our CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier certification means more than a badge on our website. It gives us access to CertainTeed’s strongest warranty programs, so your coverage comes from the manufacturer, not just a contractor’s handshake. That certification is held by fewer than 15 roofing companies in the Greater Seattle area.
We also start every project with a free 21-point roof inspection, including the attic, which most contractors skip entirely. If your roof can be repaired or treated rather than replaced, we’ll tell you. We present multiple options and let you choose based on your actual situation, not a default recommendation built around what’s easiest to sell.
From the initial inspection through final cleanup and warranty issuance, every project is managed with the same attention to detail. That’s why homeowners across Greater Seattle and the Eastside come back, and refer us to their neighbors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Squatch Roofing has a knowledgeable and experienced team that can help answer a variety of questions you may have.
How long do asphalt shingles typically last?
Architectural asphalt shingles can last 25–40 years depending on the product line, installation quality, ventilation, and local climate conditions. In the Pacific Northwest, proper attic ventilation plays a major role in longevity, moisture buildup accelerates shingle wear from the inside out. Our 21-point inspection includes the attic specifically for this reason.
What’s the difference between architectural and standard 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminate) shingles are thicker, heavier, and more durable than standard 3-tab shingles. They feature a layered construction that creates a more textured, high-end appearance and performs better in high winds. Squatch Roofing installs architectural shingles exclusively, 3-tab shingles are outdated and underperform in the Pacific Northwest climate.
Do asphalt shingles require regular maintenance?
Asphalt shingles are low maintenance, but not zero maintenance. Keeping gutters clear, removing moss or algae buildup, and having a professional inspect the roof every few years goes a long way toward maximizing the roof’s service life. Our free 21-point inspection is a good starting point, it gives you a clear picture of where your roof stands and what, if anything, needs attention.
Can damaged shingles be replaced without a full roof replacement?
In many cases, yes. Isolated shingle damage, from a fallen branch, hail, or wind, can often be addressed with a targeted repair rather than a full replacement. Our inspection process helps determine which approach is actually warranted. We’ll never recommend a full replacement if a repair is the honest answer.
What warranty comes with a CertainTeed asphalt shingle installation?
CertainTeed shingles include a 50-year materials warranty, and our ShingleMaster Premier certification unlocks a 30-year workmanship warranty, both backed by the manufacturer, not just us. Squatch Roofing also provides a 15-year Leak-Free Guarantee on workmanship-related issues. These warranties remain in force even if Squatch Roofing ceases operations, because they’re issued by CertainTeed.
