The roof above your head... the roof you and your family lives under, is only as strong as the materials and roofing contractor behind it. While most homeowners focus on how a roof looks from the street, the truth is what you don’t see is the skill, labor, expertise, and most especially, the quality products which go into it.
Welcome to Episode 2 of The Royal Podcast. In this episode, we dive into the second pillar of the Royal Treatment: Premium Protection. We explore why quality roofing materials matter more than most people realize.
At United Roofing, we don’t build roofs to code. We build beyond code. Building a roof to code is not a finishing line for us... it's the starting gate.
Your Roof Is a System — Not Just Shingles
Most people think a roof is a single layer, but it’s actually a system made of multiple components working together:
If even one layer is weak, the whole system fails.
That’s why United Roofing installs the full CertainTeed roofing system — not a mix of off-brand parts. Every component is designed to reinforce the next, giving your home stronger, more reliable protection.
A lower quote often means lower-quality materials.
Cheap underlayment.
Non-impact-rated shingles.
Minimal ice and water shield.
Shortcuts hidden under the surface.
These roofs don’t fail on Day 1 — they fail during:
Premium materials aren’t about vanity.
They’re about long-term protection, durability, and real peace of mind.
Here’s the truth:
Building code is the minimum acceptable standard.
Code protects builders — not homeowners.
It gets the job “approved,” but not necessarily built to last.
At United Roofing, we don’t aim for minimums.
We aim for maximum protection.
Our standards exceed code in every category:
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense — and it deserves better than the bare minimum.
In the podcast, we share the story of David — a homeowner choosing between United Roofing and a competitor offering a much lower price.
When we reviewed the competitor’s quote, we saw:
David chose United Roofing.
Three months later, a freeze hit. His neighbor’s roof — installed by the cheaper contractor — leaked in two places. David’s remained completely protected.
That’s the difference premium materials make.
We partner with CertainTeed, one of the most respected roofing manufacturers in North America.
Here’s why:
A roof is only as reliable as the products used — and CertainTeed consistently delivers roofing systems built for long-term protection.
If you're choosing a roofer, ask these questions:
1. What brand of materials do you use?
If the answer is vague — that’s a red flag.
2. Do you install the full roofing system or mix-and-match?
Consistency = reliability.
3. Do you build to code or exceed code?
You want better than “minimum acceptable.”
These three questions alone can save you thousands in future repairs.
Premium Protection means building your roof with materials and standards that are designed to last — not just pass inspection.
It’s how we turn roofing into real peace of mind.
