Affordable Roofing & Construction is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ credentialed contractor, and owner Vladimir Vladimirov holds dual CertainTeed Master Craftsman certifications on top of that. Three manufacturer credentials from one of North America’s largest shingle makers.
What that means for you: when you hire us, you’re getting a factory-credentialed installer, not just someone who’s “been roofing for years.”
What Is CertainTeed ShingleMaster™?
CertainTeed runs a credentialing program for roofing contractors, and ShingleMaster is the company-level tier. To hold it, a contractor has to employ CertainTeed-credentialed installers who have passed the manufacturer’s testing, carry proper licensing and insurance, and follow a written code of ethics. Credentials are reviewed — they can be revoked if standards slip.
It matters because roofing has an unusually low barrier to entry. Anyone with a truck and a ladder can call themselves a roofer. A manufacturer credential is one of the few things a homeowner can actually verify before signing.
Extended Warranty Access
ShingleMaster status also unlocks CertainTeed’s SureStart PLUS extended warranty program — coverage that goes beyond the standard shingle warranty and that non-credentialed installers simply cannot offer. Eligibility depends on installing a qualifying CertainTeed Integrity Roof System™ and registering the job within 60 days of completion, so ask us during your estimate which coverage your project qualifies for and we’ll walk you through it.
That sits on top of our own 5-year labor warranty, which we include on every roof we install.
Plus Dual Master Craftsman Certification
CertainTeed is one of North America’s leading shingle manufacturers — brands like Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Northgate all carry the CertainTeed name. Beyond the ShingleMaster track, their Master Craftsman program tests individual technical knowledge. Vladimir holds both Master Craftsman credentials:
- Master Craftsman Shingle Quality Specialist™ — earned by passing CertainTeed’s Shingle Technology Manual examination, covering shingle quality standards, design, manufacturing specifications, and warranty compliance
- Master Craftsman Roofing Contractor — demonstrates mastery of the complex requirements for installing a high-quality shingle roof system, valid through April 2028
Most roofing contractors in Volusia County hold none of these.
Why This Matters for Your Roof
Certification isn’t just a piece of paper. Here’s what it means in practice for homeowners in Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ormond Beach, and across Volusia County:
Better Warranty Coverage
CertainTeed-credentialed contractors can access enhanced warranty tiers that non-certified installers cannot offer. This includes extended coverage on both materials and workmanship — protection that stays with your home even if you sell.
Correct Installation, Every Time
The #1 reason roofs fail before their rated lifespan isn’t materials — it’s improper installation. Nail placement, starter course, ridge cap, ventilation — each step has specifications that certified installers understand deeply. Vladimir was tested on exactly these requirements.
Accountability to a Higher Standard
Certifications can be revoked. That means CertainTeed-credentialed contractors have a professional stake in doing the job right — it’s not just about your immediate satisfaction, it’s about maintaining standing with a major manufacturer.
