CertainTeed Presidential Shake Shingles

Presidential Shake is CertainTeed's luxury cedar-shake look: a thick, multi-layer shingle with deep, irregular tabs. It comes in versions for different needs, including two that CertainTeed lists as Class 4.

Product names, ratings and features are as published by the manufacturer and can change. We confirm the current rating and warranty of the exact product before we order it.

For North Texas, we usually recommend IR or TL

Wise, Denton and Parker counties see big hail. If you're investing in a luxury shingle, a Class 4 version protects the look and may lower your premium. Texas insurers must offer a premium credit for UL 2218 impact-rated roofs, but each company sets its own amount, and Class 4 earns the largest. We can't promise a discount; ask your insurer for their figure in writing. After a qualifying install we fill out TDI Form PC068 for you.

How we install designer shingles

  1. Inspection and photo report. Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see.
  2. Samples on your house. Designer color blends look different in Texas sun than in a brochure, so we bring full-size samples.
  3. HOA packet. Product sheet, color name and photos for your architectural committee.
  4. Tear-off and deck check. Designer shingles are heavy and show every dip in the deck, so we fix soft spots first.
  5. Manufacturer-matched system. Starter, hip and ridge, underlayment and ventilation from the same maker, installed to their instructions so the full warranty applies.
  6. Final walk and photos.

Residential warranty: a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty, with manufacturer warranties up to lifetime. Manufacturer coverage depends on the product and brand, and on the project qualifying for that manufacturer's program. We put the exact warranty for your roof in writing.
