When you choose a CertainTeed roof, you’re not just getting beautiful shingles; you’re investing in one of the best warranties in the industry. But to unlock the full 50-year transferable warranty—which covers both labor and materials for the first 12 years—your roof has to be installed correctly. At Mid-Atlantic Gutters and Roofing, we follow a precise “5 book” pattern to ensure your roof is not only secure but also fully protected by its warranty.
What is the “5 Book” Pattern?
The “5 book” pattern is CertainTeed’s specific method for properly cutting and installing shingles to create a durable, weather-resistant roof. Each shingle is cut and placed in a staggered, random pattern to avoid creating weak spots or repeating lines. This technique ensures proper alignment and reduces the risk of leaks while creating a visually appealing, natural look.
The Importance of Precision
Proper installation is about more than just aesthetics. It’s a critical step in a complete roofing system. For your CertainTeed warranty to be valid, all materials—including underlayment, starter shingles, and ridge caps—must be CertainTeed products. If even a single component is from a different manufacturer or the shingles are cut improperly, the warranty can be voided, leaving you without coverage for decades to come.
Why We Go the Extra Mile
As CertainTeed certified professionals, we’re trained to install your roof with the highest level of precision and care. We understand that cutting and nailing each shingle to the exact specifications of the “5 book” pattern is essential. We don’t cut corners because we’re committed to delivering a roof that is not only beautiful but also built to last for generations.
Don’t settle for a contractor who might risk your investment with an improper installation. When you choose us, you’re choosing peace of mind knowing your new roof is installed correctly and fully covered by CertainTeed’s superior 50-year transferable warranty.
