Not All Roofs Are Created Equal

Not All Roofs Are Created Equal — Here’s Why SNS Roofing Only Installs CertainTeed Landmark Pro

Every homeowner has heard the pitch: “We’re the best roofers in town.” “We use quality materials.” “Trust us.”

But here’s a question most Peoria homeowners never think to ask their roofer:

“What shingle are you actually putting on my house — and WHY that one?”

At SNS Roofing, we have a simple answer: We install CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles. That’s it. No cheaper alternatives. No “budget options.” No swapping in something else to save a few bucks.

And we’re going to tell you exactly why.

The Dirty Little Secret of the Roofing Industry

Walk into any big-box hardware store and you’ll find dozens of shingle brands and hundreds of product lines. Some are excellent. Many are… not.

Most roofing contractors in Central Illinois offer what they call a “good, better, best” pricing model. Sounds reasonable, right? You pick the level that fits your budget, and everyone walks away happy.

Here’s the problem: the “good” option is almost always garbage.

Those cheap 3-tab shingles that make a roofing quote look competitive? They’re rated for 25 years but often fail in 12-15 in Illinois weather. They crack. They curl. They blow off in the first bad storm. And when they fail early? The roofer who installed them is long gone.

Meanwhile, the homeowner is stuck paying for a second roof replacement they weren’t planning for another decade.

We refuse to be part of that cycle.

Why CertainTeed Landmark Pro Is the Only Shingle We Install

CertainTeed Landmark Pro isn’t the cheapest shingle on the market. It’s not even CertainTeed’s cheapest shingle. It’s their premium architectural shingle — and here’s why we believe in it:

1. Built for Central Illinois Weather

Landmark Pro shingles are engineered to handle exactly what Peoria and Central Illinois throw at homes:

• ⚡ 110 MPH wind resistance — critical for our straight-line wind storms
• 🧊 Class A fire rating (highest possible)
• 🌧️ StreakFighter® algae resistance — keeps your roof from getting those ugly black streaks Illinois humidity creates
• 🌡️ Heavier weight per square than standard shingles — meaning better protection when hail comes calling

2. The Warranty Actually Means Something

Landmark Pro shingles come with a lifetime limited warranty — and because SNS is a CertainTeed Premier ShingleMaster (a certification held by only the top 1% of roofing contractors in North America), we can offer extended warranty coverage that most Peoria roofers literally cannot:

• ✅ 50-year material warranty
• ✅ 50-year workmanship warranty
• ✅ 30-year Fully transferable if you sell your home

That last one matters more than most homeowners realize. A transferable warranty increases your home’s resale value because the next buyer inherits the protection.

3. Beauty That Lasts

Landmark Pro is a dimensional architectural shingle — meaning it has depth, texture, and shadow lines that make your roof look like an upgraded feature of your home, not just something up there keeping the rain out.

It comes in 25+ color options designed to complement Central Illinois home styles — from historic Peoria bungalows to new construction in Morton and Washington.

4. The Same Shingle Goes on Every Job

We don’t upsell. We don’t downgrade. Every SNS Roofing customer gets the same premium Landmark Pro system:

• Same architectural shingle
• Same premium underlayment
• Same ice-and-water shield
• Same ridge vent system
• Same detailed flashing work

Whether you’re in a $200,000 Bartonville ranch or a $600,000 estate in Dunlap — you get the exact same premium product. Because we believe every family deserves a roof built to last, not a roof built to a price point.

Why We Don’t Offer “Cheaper Options”

We hear it sometimes: “Can you give me a quote using cheaper shingles to bring the price down?”

Our answer is always the same:

“No — and here’s why we care too much to say yes.”

If we install a cheap shingle on your home and it fails in 10 years, one of two things happens:

1. You blame us — and honestly, you should. Even if we told you it was the cheaper option, our name is on that roof. Our reputation is tied to that shingle performing. Ten years from now, you’re not going to remember which shingle you chose. You’re going to remember which company installed the roof that failed.
2. You blame the shingle brand — but you still have to pay for a new roof way sooner than you should have.

Either way, you lose. And that’s not the business we want to be in.

At SNS Roofing, we made a decision early on: if we can’t stand behind it 100%, we don’t install it.

That’s why every roof we install uses CertainTeed Landmark Pro. Not because it makes us the most money on every job (it doesn’t), but because it’s the shingle we’d install on our own homes. On our parents’ homes. On our kids’ homes.

And that’s the standard we hold every single job to.

What “Actually Caring About Your Home” Looks Like

Anyone can say they care about their customers. At SNS, here’s what caring actually looks like on every project:

• 🏠 We treat your property like our own — Catch-All debris protection means zero damage to landscaping, patios, or belongings.
• 📸 We document everything — CompanyCam photos before, during, and after so you always know exactly what’s happening on your roof.
• ⚡ Our In-House Public Adjusters fight for you — When storm damage hits, we don’t just install a new roof. We handle your insurance claim from start to finish, making sure you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
• 🎖️ We’re accountable — Veteran-owned. Woman-owned. Family-run. Our name is on this business, and it’s staying in Central Illinois.
• 💪 We stand behind our work forever — Because we use the best shingle backed by the best warranty and installed by CertainTeed-certified crews, we can offer a 50-year material warranty and 30-year transferable workmanship warranty with confidence.

The Bottom Line

Not all roofs are the same. Not all shingles are the same. Not all roofing contractors are the same.

When you choose SNS Roofing, you’re choosing a company that made a promise a long time ago:

We’ll only put on your home what we’d put on our own.

Every time. No exceptions. No shortcuts. No “budget options.”

Because your home isn’t just a house. It’s where your family lives, sleeps, and grows. And the roof over it deserves the very best.

That’s why we install CertainTeed Landmark Pro. That’s why we back it with the strongest warranties in Central Illinois. And that’s why our customers become customers for life.
