Landmark Series shingles are a line of high-quality architectural asphalt shingles made by CertainTeed. They feature a dual-layer design on a fiberglass mat base for enhanced thickness and strength
This construction gives them a dimensional appearance similar to wood shakes, without the high upkeep.
The Landmark family includes options like Landmark, Landmark PRO, and Landmark Premium. All share the same core quality, but the PRO and Premium versions are thicker and heavier with richer color blends and longer warranty enhancements. This means homeowners can choose a shingle that fits their budget and performance needs, while still getting the “Landmark” level of quality.

Landmark shingles are known for their long lifespan and toughness. Built with a robust fiberglass base and layered asphalt, they can stand up to severe weather. Even the standard Landmark shingle offers tear resistance and a Class F wind rating (110 mph), with an option to upgrade to 130 mph wind warranty. Albany’s climate – heavy snow in winter, strong winds during storms – this durability ensures your roof protects your home year-round.
Homeowners love the aesthetic versatility of the Landmark Series. CertainTeed offers an extensive palette of colors (20+ options) ranging from classic neutrals to bold. This wide selection helps you find the perfect match for your home’s exterior.
In fact, Landmark shingles have one of the largest color selections in the industry, including unique shades not offered by others. Whether your home is historic or modern, there’s a Landmark shingle style (and even luxury variants) to complement it.
If your roof is prone to those unsightly black streaks (algae growth), Landmark shingles have you covered. They come with CertainTeed’s StreakFighter® algae-resistant technology, which is backed by a warranty (typically 10 years) against algae-related growth.
This means your roof will look cleaner for longer, which is especially helpful in humid summer months or shaded neighborhoods in the Capital Region.
We understand a new roof is a big investment. That’s why we offer flexible financing options to qualified homeowners. During our estimate, we’ll discuss financing plans and also any seasonal promotions that might help with cost. Ultimately, we strive to provide a competitive price for Landmark roof installation without compromising on quality.
Landmark Series shingles are designed for a long lifespan, often 25 to 30 years or more when properly installed and maintained. They carry a lifetime warranty for manufacturing defects, which gives an idea of their expected durability. In Albany’s climate, factors like proper attic ventilation and regular maintenance (e.g. keeping gutters clean, removing moss if it appears) will help your Landmark roof reach or exceed its lifespan. Many homeowners find that these shingles “age” gracefully, retaining granules and appearance well over the decades.
Most Landmark roof installations can be completed in one day, especially when done by an experienced crew like ours. We often start in the morning and finish by late afternoon or early evening, even accounting for tear-off and cleanup. However, if your roof is particularly large or complex, or if weather intervenes, it could take two days (or rarely, a bit longer). We’ll give you a time estimate during our planning stage. Rest assured, we work efficiently without cutting corners
