When it comes to investing in a roof, there’s a major difference between hiring just any roofing company and choosing one that’s certified by the manufacturers of the roofing materials they install. At Schulte Roofing®, we believe certification is not just a title—it’s a promise of professionalism, quality, and long-term value for every homeowner and business owner we serve.
Whether you’re replacing a worn-out roof, repairing storm damage, or building a new structure, working with manufacturer-certified roofers can significantly influence the durability and protection your roof provides.
What Does It Mean to Be a Manufacturer-Certified Roofer?
A manufacturer-certified roofer is a contractor who has met strict qualifications set by roofing material manufacturers. These aren’t simple requirements. Roofing companies must undergo extensive training, maintain high standards in craftsmanship, and consistently deliver proven results to retain certification.
Roofing manufacturers—like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning—don’t certify just any contractor. They seek out companies with strong reputations, verified insurance and licensing, and a commitment to ongoing education.
At Schulte Roofing®, we’ve earned certifications from some of the most respected names in the industry. These partnerships allow us to install products the right way, using the manufacturer’s exact specifications. That means fewer risks for you and greater peace of mind.
Why Certification Matters More Than You Might Think
The average homeowner may not realize how much is at stake with roofing installation. A roof isn’t just a shield against rain or sun—it’s a complex system that must be properly assembled to prevent leaks, insulate your home, and endure harsh Texas weather.
Poor installation is one of the leading causes of roofing failure. And in many cases, those issues are only discovered when it’s too late—when the roof leaks, energy bills rise, or the warranty is denied.
When you choose Schulte Roofing® and our certified professionals, you’re working with a team that understands the science behind roofing systems and the real-world application of materials. That deep level of knowledge can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your roof.
Exclusive Warranties and Protection for Your Roof
One of the most significant benefits of working with a manufacturer-certified roofing company like Schulte Roofing® is the access to extended manufacturer warranties. These warranties are only available through certified contractors and often go far beyond what unlicensed or uncertified installers can offer.
In practical terms, this means your roof may be covered for up to 50 years—not just for the materials, but for labor and installation errors as well. If anything goes wrong due to defective materials or poor workmanship, the manufacturer pays for the repair or replacement. That’s a level of coverage that only comes with certified installation.
At Schulte Roofing®, we also offer our own Bulletproof Roof Guarantee®, which ensures top-tier performance and customer satisfaction. It’s one of the strongest warranties in the industry—and it complements the manufacturer warranties we’re able to provide as certified installers.
Lower Risk, Higher Standards, Better Results
Let’s talk about what truly separates certified roofers from the rest. Certification isn’t just a one-time approval. Roofing manufacturers regularly review certified contractors to ensure they’re staying current on best practices, training their crews, and consistently meeting customer expectations.
Here’s what that ongoing certification process means for your roofing project:
-
The crew installing your roof has been professionally trained on the specific materials used
-
The team is up-to-date with the latest code requirements and safety protocols
-
Installations follow a strict quality checklist designed by the product manufacturer
-
Issues like improper sealing, incorrect fastener use, or under-ventilation are virtually eliminated
This means fewer callbacks, fewer leaks, and less chance of a costly repair down the line.
Roofing Manufacturers Trust Schulte Roofing® — and So Can You
Schulte Roofing® is proud to be recognized and certified by some of the most reputable names in the roofing industry, including:

-

Each certification requires a strong track record, proper licensing, comprehensive insurance, and a commitment to excellence. These endorsements don’t just make Schulte Roofing® look good—they give you direct benefits in the form of stronger warranties, better materials, and top-tier service.
Why Homeowners and Businesses Across Texas Choose Certified Roofers
In cities across Central and Southeast Texas—Bryan-College Station, Houston, Austin, and Conroe—homeowners and property managers choose Schulte Roofing® because we offer something most roofers can’t: verified, factory-backed reliability.
Our certified crews are trained to identify and solve issues before they become problems. We’re not guessing or cutting corners—we’re following proven systems that maximize the life and effectiveness of your roofing system.
If you live in a storm-prone region or a high-heat zone like much of Texas, the quality of your roofing installation is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. And only certified contractors like Schulte Roofing® are trusted to deliver that level of durability.
What Happens When You Don’t Use a Certified Roofer?
Choosing a non-certified contractor might save you money upfront, but it often comes with serious long-term consequences.
Without certified installation:
-
Your manufacturer warranty could be voided
-
Installation mistakes may not be covered or detected until it’s too late
-
You may face higher insurance premiums or claim denials
-
Resale value can suffer if a home inspector flags poor roofing work
-
You could pay thousands more in unexpected repairs over the years
At Schulte Roofing®, we’ve seen many cases where homeowners come to us for repairs after a bad experience with an uncertified roofer. Often, the cost of fixing the problem exceeds what it would have cost to install the roof correctly in the first place.
