CertainTeed Landmark ClimateFlex Class 4 Roof With Full Flashing Corrections

A new roof is more than just shingles. That's something a lot of homeowners don't realize until water starts showing up somewhere it shouldn't. Most roofers will swap out the shingles and call it a day - but the details underneath are what actually keep a roof tight for the long haul.

On this job, we installed CertainTeed Landmark ClimateFlex Class 4 shingles across the entire roof. Class 4 is the highest impact resistance rating available, which matters a lot in Texas where hail season hits hard and often. Beyond the protection, the color landed perfectly against the white brick exterior - clean, sharp, and built to last.

Here's where this job went further than most. We corrected flashing details where the brick meets the roofline - a spot that's notorious for hidden leaks if it isn't done right. We also added proper flashing around the chimneys and built a chimney cricket to divert water away from the base of the chimney. All of that was included at no extra charge. Not as an upsell. Just part of doing the job correctly.

Details like chimney crickets and proper step flashing don't show up on a basic bid. But skipping them is exactly how a brand-new roof ends up with a water problem inside the first few years. We'd rather do it right once than have a homeowner dealing with a callback that never should have happened.

That's the standard we hold every residential roofing job to - no shortcuts, no skipped steps, no surprises after we're gone.
