Holding the top certification from all three manufacturers is something we are proud of, and it is not easy to maintain. Each one has its own standards and its own training. Keeping all three at once is a reflection of how we have run this company for nearly four decades. It gives homeowners one clear way to know who they are hiring.

MELVILLE, N.Y. – July 8, 2026 – County Roofing, a roofing contractor serving the greater Long Island and NYC area for over 36 years, holds the highest contractor certification offered by all three of the largest roofing material manufacturers. The company has obtained GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, and CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER status, a combination that few roofing contractors reach.

Each of the three manufacturers maintains its own top-tier credential, and each reserves that level for a small percentage of the contractors it works with. Earning any one of them requires meeting standards for licensing, insurance, experience, and customer satisfaction, along with ongoing renewal. Holding all three at the same time is uncommon, because it means a single company has independently satisfied the highest requirements of three separate manufacturers and continues to maintain each one.

GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed are the three largest names in residential roofing materials in North America. Their top certifications, GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, and CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER, sit at the highest level each manufacturer offers, above the standard and mid-tier designations most network contractors hold. A contractor that carries all three has been vetted at the top level by each.

For homeowners, the practical significance is straightforward. Manufacturer certification is one of the few independent measures available when choosing a roofer, since it reflects a review by an outside party rather than a contractor’s own claims. A company holding the top credential from all three major manufacturers has cleared that bar three times over, which narrows the uncertainty involved in selecting a roofing contractor.

“Holding the top certification from all three manufacturers is something we are proud of, and it is not easy to maintain,” said Keith Schmied, founder and CEO of County Roofing. “Each one has its own standards, its own training, and its own renewal. I am on our projects personally, and keeping all three at once is a reflection of how we have run this company for more than three decades. It gives homeowners one clear way to know who they are hiring.”

The triple certification also gives homeowners more flexibility in materials. Because County Roofing is certified at the highest level with each manufacturer, it can install and stand behind the full product lines of all three, helping homeowners choose the material that best fits their home, their budget, and their preferences rather than being limited to a single brand.
