The Real Value Behind CertainTeed Highland Slate Shingles

Stone Aesthetics Without the Structural Burden

Stone Aesthetics Without the Structural Burden

Traditional natural slate roofing carries undeniable visual appeal, but the weight load requirements and material costs make it impractical for most homes. CertainTeed's highland slate-profile shingles replicate the rich color variation and dimensional depth of hand-quarried stone using advanced engineered asphalt construction. The finished roof delivers the appearance of real stone while performing reliably through intense Texas heat, high humidity, and Gulf Coast storm seasons. These shingles are engineered to withstand impact, resist algae growth, and hold up against wind uplift — concerns that are especially relevant for homeowners across Austin, Houston, and Beaumont. If you want a roof that elevates your home's exterior while providing durable, long-term protection, this shingle line is an excellent starting point for your planning process.
What a Select ShingleMaster Credential Means for Homeowners

What a Select ShingleMaster Credential Means for Homeowners

Not all roofing contractors are eligible to provide CertainTeed's most comprehensive warranty coverage. The Select ShingleMaster credential is awarded only to contractors who fulfill rigorous requirements in training, installation practices, and customer service as defined by CertainTeed. Homeowners who hire a credentialed contractor gain access to an elevated level of warranty protection that standard, non-certified installers are simply unable to offer. Anyone exploring professional certainteed highland slate in Austin should confirm that their chosen contractor holds this designation before committing to a contract. Cool Roofs Inc. has earned and actively maintained this certification, meaning every highland slate roof we install qualifies for CertainTeed's highest warranty tier. That distinction safeguards your investment well beyond the final day of installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The highland slate profile is built with multiple overlapping layers that create pronounced shadow lines and varied surface textures, giving it the appearance of real quarried stone.

Absolutely. Cool Roofs serves homeowners in San Antonio, Fort Worth, New Braunfels, Houston, Beaumont, and Memphis, Tennessee. Our certified installation teams maintain the same quality benchmarks across every one of these locations as they do in Austin.

Because Cool Roofs holds the Select ShingleMaster certification, our customers are eligible for CertainTeed's enhanced warranty tier. This typically includes a lifetime limited shingle warranty combined with extended workmanship coverage that non-certified contractors are not authorized to provide.

When properly installed, CertainTeed dimensional shingles in Texas can perform reliably for 30 years or more with routine upkeep. Heat, UV exposure, and severe weather events all influence long-term durability, which is why using a certified installer and quality underlayment systems makes a meaningful difference in lifespan.

This shingle line is primarily engineered for residential steep-slope roofing applications. While Cool Roofs offers a full range of commercial roofing solutions, a different product system is generally better suited to commercial structures. Our team can evaluate your building type and recommend the most appropriate option for your needs.
