What Do Roofing Certifications Really Mean For You?

Our Certifications Deliver Nothing
Short Of Roofing Excellence

We Set The Bar High – So YOU
Can Reap The Benefits


Well, you need a new roof on your home. Now comes the hard part – choosing the right roofing contractor in the Houston area.

Unfortunately, there’s really no set criteria for anyone to become a roofer in Texas. In fact, all you have to do is say, “I’m a roofer,” and it’s a done deal.

So, how do you find the right contractor for your roof replacement? How do you know they’re qualified and a top-notch roofer?

Why, you take the time to find someone with the highest certifications from the top manufacturers. At Blue Truss, we’re not just certified with one of the best manufacturers – we’re certified with TWO.

Our dedication to being leading-class roofers doesn’t just set us apart from our peers. It guarantees you get exceptional roofing results.

So Many Roofers, So Few Certifications

If you’ve ever done a search for “roofer near me,” you’ve probably realized there are a ton of roofers just in Houston. With over 6,000 roofers in one area, it can be a headache trying to find the right one for your project.

You have your choice ranging from the average Joe Handyman to professional roofing contractors, but telling the difference can be challenging. That’s where certifications come in. Without roofing licenses to guide you, you need something more to go on.

At Blue Truss, we’re GAF Master Elite certified and Select ShingleMaster certified for Certainteed. We didn’t settle for one or the other – we went for the gold with our quality installations and were invited into both Master Certifications to set the bar high for what our customers can expect.

So, why is that such an impressive feat?

Out of all those 6,000 roofers in Houston, only around 1% will ultimately achieve one of these certifications. But only a select few in the entire country achieve and maintain both.

And it’s not a once and done – it can be taken away.


We Don’t Rest On Our Laurels

It takes a lot of work and dedication to achieve Master Certification for either manufacturer. Earning both took a lot more, but the effort was more than worth it in the end.

Master certification isn’t like some club you get invited to – you actually have to prove the quality of your work.

At Blue Truss, we were judged on several criteria, including the following:

  • Insurance coverage
  • Reviews of the quality of our work
  • Our financial status as a company
  • Our ability to care for our customers
  • Our Installation methods and consistency

In addition, both manufacturers require strict adherence to all installation guidelines, and we never let them down.

But it doesn’t stop there. Once you earn your certifications, they can easily be taken away if you don’t keep up the quality of work.

Both GAF and CertainTeed perform random inspections on the roofs we install to ensure we remain one of the best roofers and deserving of their Master Certifications. We have ALWAYS met or exceeded their expectations, allowing us to remain in the programs.

So, what does this mean for you as the customer?


A Warranty Above All Others

Both manufacturers offer similar warranty coverage that goes well above and beyond what any standard roofer in Houston can provide. You’ll get product coverage and workmanship coverage in one bundle.

So, the manufacturer backs your roof even if something happens to the company. How’s that for peace of mind?

Most warranties don’t come close to offering this kind of protection. Because we’re able to offer this coverage to our customers, it’s clear GAF and CertainTeed have an exceptionally high level of trust in our team.


Better Peace Of Mind

At the end of the day, when you choose a roofer with no certifications, you’re gambling A LOT. You see, they can’t offer the kind of warranty coverage a master certified roofer can.

When we install a roof, you’re guaranteed a rock-solid warranty from either GAF or CertainTeed. Not to mention, we REFUSE to install piecemeal roofing systems. You’ll get an entire roof system from a single brand to ensure you get the best roof possible, which also means one warranty.
