What Is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ PREMIER Installer?
A CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ PREMIER contractor has met CertainTeed’s highest company-level roofing requirements. These include credentialing for supervisors and most installers, advanced product training, continuing education, insurance, established business experience, financial-responsibility testing, ethical standards, and a verified customer satisfaction rating of at least four out of five.
Seci Construction Inc is a ShingleMaster PREMIER Installer. We follow CertainTeed’s guidelines for:
- How roof shingles are fastened
- How ventilation is planned
- How flashing is installed around vulnerable areas
- How valleys, roof edges, and penetrations are handled
- How warranty requirements are reviewed before installation
The designation also lets our roofing company offer eligible homeowners enhanced SureStart™ PLUS warranty options available only through CertainTeed-credentialed contractors.
Seci Construction, Inc. is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ PREMIER Contractor
Seci Construction, Inc. is proud to announce that our roof replacement company has earned the CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ PREMIER credential, the highest company credential level available through CertainTeed’s roofing contractor program.
For homeowners, this designation adds another layer of confidence when choosing our asphalt shingles roofing company for detailed roof inspections, targeted roof repairs, or a full roof replacement. With more than 50 years of exterior home improvement experience, Seci Construction, Inc. continues to bring trusted roofing services to homeowners.
What the ShingleMaster PREMIER Designation Means for Our Customers
Seci Construction, Inc. has served homeowners since 1973, giving our team decades of real experience with aging roofing systems, storm damage, ventilation concerns, roof leaks, and full roof replacement projects. Earning the ShingleMaster™ PREMIER credential strengthens that foundation with CertainTeed-specific roofing education.
This is especially useful for homes in the Northeast, where roofing systems are exposed to heavy rain, wind, winter weather, summer heat, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles. A roof needs to do more than look clean from the street. It needs to move water away from the home, protect the underlying structure, and hold up through changing seasonal conditions.
When homeowners choose Seci Construction, Inc., they get the benefit of a roof inspection company that combines decades of hands-on roofing experience with CertainTeed-backed product and installation training.
How Our CertainTeed Training Impacts Your Roofing Project
The ShingleMaster™ PREMIER installer credential helps Seci Construction Inc. guide homeowners through the decisions that come with a full roof replacement. That includes comparing CertainTeed roof shingles options, reviewing color choices, planning the roof as a complete system, and explaining which warranty options may apply.
Our ShingleMaster™ PREMIER status can help homeowners with:
- Choosing the right CertainTeed shingle line based on appearance, durability, budget, and roof design
- Comparing roof colors that work with the home’s siding, trim, stone, brick, shutters, and overall exterior style
- Understanding product features such as algae resistance, dimensional roofing shingle profiles, and enhanced performance options, where available
- Planning the roof as a system with the right CertainTeed components
- Reviewing SureStart™ and SureStart™ PLUS warranty options before materials are ordered
- Understanding what documentation, registration, and installation requirements may affect warranty coverage
For homeowners, this creates a more informed process when investing in a full roof. Instead of choosing roof shingles based only on color or price, Seci Construction Inc.’s ShingleMaster PREMIER team can help connect your product selections to long-term goals for curb appeal, roof performance, and warranty coverage.

Coordinated Roofing and Siding Support for Larger Exterior Projects
Some home improvement projects involve more than replacing the roofing system. When a homeowner is replacing the full roof and installing new home siding around the same time, the details where those systems meet need careful, coordinated planning for the best results.
Seci Construction Inc.’s CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ PREMIER and SidingMaster™ PREMIER credentials give homeowners one qualified exterior team for both sides of their home improvement project.
Roof-to-Wall Transitions Are Planned Together
New roof shingles and new siding often meet at walls, dormers, chimneys, porches, additions, and second-story transitions. Our team reviews flashing, trim, siding edges, and water-shedding details together so one part of the project does not create issues for the other.
Product and Color Choices Can Be Coordinated
A new roof and new siding can change the entire look of a home. Seci Construction Inc. helps homeowners compare CertainTeed shingle colors, siding profiles, trim options, and exterior finishes so the final result feels cohesive instead of pieced together.
One Team Can Help Simplify the Process
Coordinating separate roofing and siding contractors can make timing, communication, and responsibility more complicated. With Seci Construction Inc., homeowners can work with one experienced exterior services company from the initial roof inspection through full roof replacement, siding installation, cleanup, and warranty review.
Warranty Details Can Be Reviewed Before Work Begins
Roofing and siding warranties are handled differently, and coverage depends on the products selected and installation requirements. Our team can explain which CertainTeed warranty options may apply to your chosen roofing system and selected siding products before installation starts.
CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER FAQs
Is a ShingleMaster PREMIER contractor different from a contractor that sells CertainTeed roof shingles?
Yes. A contractor may sell or install CertainTeed roof shingles without holding the ShingleMaster PREMIER credential.
CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER installers, including our team at Seci Construction Inc, have completed additional manufacturer requirements related to product knowledge, installation methods, warranty options, and business practices.
Does every CertainTeed roof automatically qualify for the strongest warranty option?
No. All CertainTeed shingles include standard SureStart™ protection, but enhanced SureStart™ PLUS coverage is not automatic.
During your FREE estimate with Seci Construction Inc, your roofing contractor will identify the exact warranty level available and confirm that the selected roof shingles, Integrity Roof System® components, installation plan, property type, and contractor credentials meet its requirements.
What is SureStart™ PLUS protection for a full roof replacement?
SureStart PLUS offers enhanced protection for qualifying CertainTeed Integrity Roof Systems® installed by credentialed contractors. For most lifetime shingles, both 4-STAR and 5-STAR coverage include up to 50 years of non-prorated protection for manufacturing defects, including materials, labor, tear-off, and disposal.
The main difference is workmanship coverage: 4-STAR provides 15 years, while 5-STAR provides 30 years.
How do I know if I should choose 4-STAR vs 5-STAR SureStart™ PLUS coverage?
Choose 4-STAR if you want enhanced manufacturing-defect protection and are comfortable with 15 years of CertainTeed-backed workmanship coverage. Choose 5-STAR if you expect to remain in the home longer or want 30 years of workmanship protection. For qualifying lifetime shingles on a detached single-family home, the core materials, labor, tear-off, and disposal coverage is generally the same.
Your Seci Construction Inc roofing professional will explain the price difference and confirm how the selected roof shingles and your property type affect eligibility.
How does Seci Construction, Inc’s CertainTeed credential help me choose the right shingles roofing for my home?
