J&B Construction Earns CertainTeed Shingle Master Status

Jun 13, 2016

J&B Construction announced that it recently became a CertainTeed ShingleMasterTM Credentialed Company.

To achieve this status, a company must have a minimum of three Master Shingle Applicators (MSA) on staff and that pass a test that shows they are able to install CertainTeed’s credentialed products, with an emphasis on good workmanship practices, roof systems, estimating, flashing, ventilation, and product installation. All (number) of J&B Construction’s roofing installers and its three sales people completed and passed the test.

In addition, three J&B Construction representatives, including owner Scott Cline, took and passed a Shingle Quality SpecialistTM test given through CertainTeed. Passing the test represents the ability of the employee to understand the shingle design and manufacturing process and to explain the advantages of higher quality shingles to homeowners.

“One of the tenets of our business is that our staff is knowledgeable about all aspects of exterior home improvements, from the available products to installation,” said Scott Cline, owner of J&B Construction Company. “Being recognized as a credentialed company by an industry leader such as CertainTeed allows us to continue to offer our customers high quality products with the backing of the manufacturer.”

As a result of reaching this level, J&B Construction is now able to offer CertainTeed Three-Star and Four-Star Warranties. The Three-Star Warranty provides 20-year non pro-rated warranty coverage on all labor and materials to replace a roof based on any manufacturer defects. The Four-Star Warranty provides 50-year non pro-rated warranty coverage on all labor and materials to replace a roof based on any manufacturer defects, plus disposal costs.

“J&B Construction is a long-standing, well established company that has a great reputation in the industry,” said Mark Lorenz, CertainTeed Territory Manager for the Roofing Products Group. “Scott Cline and his staff believe in the extended warranties and he makes sure his customers are properly covered. Scott and J&B employees also do a good job of offering homeowners a variety of product choices, finding what is best for the customer.”

To maintain its CertainTeed Shingle Master credential, company staff will receive additional training through CertainTeed every other year.

The only complaint I have is when I have J&B do my roof in another 30 years or so, is Dave their sales man (a great guy) would not guaranty I could get the same great crew I had this time. They did a fantastic job. Much better than the last roofing company did. A nice bunch of guys. Did a very nice job cleaning up. I'd give them 10 stars but 5 is the limit. If you need a roof done this is the company you want to do it. One more point I need to make. The guys that did the chimney flashing are artists. I went up on the roof when they were done and was very pleased with not only the roofing job but the sculptured sheet metal work. It's kind of a shame it's on the roof and not hanging on the family room wall :). You get the point. Hire em. You'll like em.

We live in a historic designated neighborhood and recently had our 30 year wood shingle roof replaced with another wood roof and new gutters. From Day 1 of the project to the final day, the entire team was responsive, professional, and very competent. When some minor changes were proposed by us they quickly and effortlessly complied. After going through this experience with J&B, I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a roof and gutter replacement, whether it be a simple or complicated project.

J & B did an amazing job from start to finish. The initial meeting at my home took place exactly at the time that was agreed upon and Scott was thorough in his explanations and transparent about costs. When the time came to begin the project, the team that showed up was friendly, professional and timely in getting the project done. The cleanup afterward was such that it looked like they hadn't been there at all. The roof looks great, there were no surprises and Scott came by to inspect the work and explain the warranty upon job completion. I would highly recommend them.
