CREDENTIALS & COVERAGE
CertainTeed and GAF Certified Installation Backed by Full Insurance Coverage
Lakeland Roofing is both a CertainTeed Certified Installer and an GAF Certified Installer, and we are fully insured on every job. These credentials are not just labels — they represent manufacturer-vetted training, access to enhanced product warranties, and a level of accountability that protects you as the property owner from start to finish.
What CertainTeed and GAF Certifications Mean for Your Roofing Project
CertainTeed Certified Installer
CertainTeed certification means Lakeland Roofing has met the manufacturer's standards for proper shingle installation. Homeowners gain access to SureStart Plus warranty coverage and the confidence that comes with a vetted, manufacturer-approved installer handling their roof.
GAF Certified Installer
GAF certification means Lakeland Roofing has met GAF requirements for professional roofing contractors, including applicable licensing and insurance standards. GAF-certified contractors can install qualifying GAF roofing systems and offer enhanced warranty options that are not available through non-certified contractors. This gives homeowners added confidence in the materials, installation, and warranty protection for their roofing project.
Fully Insured
Full insurance coverage means you bear zero liability for on-site incidents. Lakeland Roofing carries both workers' compensation and general liability insurance, protecting you as the homeowner or business owner throughout the entire project.
HOW WE WORK
The Lakeland Roofing Process: From Free Estimate to Finished Roof
Working with Lakeland Roofing is a clear, predictable process. No surprises, no pressure — just a thorough professional assessment followed by honest recommendations and quality work carried out by our own experienced team.
Step 1 — Free Inspection & Estimate: The process starts with a no-cost, no-obligation on-site inspection. A Lakeland Roofing team member assesses the current roof condition, identifies any problem areas, and provides a clear written estimate—all at no charge before any work is scheduled.
Step 2 — Honest Recommendation: After the inspection, we give you a straight answer. If repair is the right call, we say so. If the roof has reached the end of its useful life and replacement makes more sense, we explain why. You get the facts, not a sales pitch.
Step 3—Scheduled Project Start: Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the crew and show up when agreed. Materials are sourced from certified manufacturer programs, and the work is performed by Lakeland Roofing's own team—not subcontractors.
Step 4 — Clean Completion & Follow-Up: Every job ends with a thorough site cleanup and a walk-through to confirm you are satisfied with the work. After the job is done, we remain reachable for any follow-up questions you may have.
