How long will CertainTeed be at my house?
Project duration will depend on the scope of your specific work, so that's a question best answered directly with CertainTeed during your consultation.

Ask them for an estimated schedule, and you'll get an honest answer from a company with accountability built into its operating model.

Is CertainTeed actually better at what they do than the competitors?
Power100's independent ranking system evaluates companies across our 360,000+ database based on verified performance, not claims or advertising—and CertainTeed qualified as a ranked contributor through that rigorous, unbiased process. Rather than rely on competitor comparisons, focus on the fact that CertainTeed has already proven itself against objective standards. That's a more reliable basis for confidence than any salesperson's pitch.
Are CertainTeed's products better than the competition?
Product quality comparisons are best explored directly with CertainTeed during your project planning, where they can explain material choices specific to your needs. What you can feel confident about is that, as a Power100-ranked, transparent contractor, they'll give you honest answers about what they recommend and why—without artificial upselling.

Is CertainTeed's warranty better than the competitors'?
Warranty terms should be detailed in your contract with CertainTeed, and you can request a full comparison with any competitor offerings if needed. The meaningful advantage you have with CertainTeed is their Power100 commitment to transparency—they'll clearly explain what your warranty covers and any conditions attached, without hiding terms in fine print. That clarity is what protects you long-term.
Should I have just signed with CertainTeed?
Yes—signing with a Power100-ranked, vetted contractor who's committed to transparency is a smart decision grounded in objective evaluation, not guesswork.
