“Warranties can be hard to understand,” said Jay Butch, Director of Contractor Programs for CertainTeed Roofing. “Long removes the guesswork by offering CertainTeed’s SureStart Plus protection on every roofing job it sells. SureStart Plus extends CertainTeed’s traditional product warranty to cover the intangibles in the unlikely event of a manufacturing product defect—things like labor to tear off the old roof and to install the new one, product disposal and the new shingles themselves.”

Long is credentialed as a CertainTeed SELECTTM ShingleMaster, a hard-earned designation that only 2 percent of all contractors in North America attain — and a credential that shows homeowners that Long is committed to quality installation, professionalism and ethical business practices. And with that designation, Long is able to offer its customers SureStartTM Plus, the industry’s most comprehensive extended warranty program.

“We’ve had a long history in the greater Washington D.C. area as a contractor that people can rely on,” said John DePaola, principal of Long Roofing. “We’re very proud to work with manufacturers like CertainTeed who continue to offer us quality products, credential programs and homeowner benefit programs that ultimately help us earn their trust and give them peace of mind.”

Long’s roofing practice has brought a 70+ year legacy of professionalism and craftsmanship to the greater Mid-Atlantic region of the country. The contractor has made it a point to not only offer incredible service to the community, but also provide warranties that can help homeowners sleep easy at night.

“Long is one of those contractors that goes above and beyond to make sure homeowners have confidence in their work,” said Butch. “They’re exceptional in the industry, and should be applauded for their commitment to placing the homeowner first. Their commitment to quality and homeowner satisfaction aligns with our own, resulting in a great partnership.”
