CertainTeed’s Integrity Roof System: A Roofing System Designed to Last
When Da’ Roofers install a roof in Maryland, we don’t just put down shingles. We install a complete roofing system. CertainTeed’s Integrity Roof System is one of the strongest, most reliable systems available today. It’s built so every component works together, protecting your home from heat, rain, wind, humidity, and winter storms.
A roof is only as strong as the products underneath it. That’s why Da’ Roofers use the Integrity Roof System: a combination of underlayments, shingles, accessories, ventilation, and ridge components that all work in sync. When these pieces function as one, the result is a roof that stays durable year after year, no matter the weather.
Let's find out more about this amazing roofing system.
What Is the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System?
CertainTeed designed the Integrity Roof System around one core idea: a superior roof is stronger than the sum of its parts. Instead of treating each layer like an individual piece, the system ensures they support each other to deliver maximum performance and long-term protection.
The Integrity Roof System includes:
High-quality underlayments
Durable, premium shingles
Essential accessory products
Proper ventilation components
Ridge and hip finishing products
This system approach ensures every layer works together, from the deck to the final ridge shingle.

Homeowners in Maryland experience all kinds of weather. Your roof needs to handle:
Heavy summer storms
Intense UV exposure
Seasonal humidity
High winds
Icy winters and freeze–thaw cycles
The Integrity Roof System is built for exactly this type of climate. It creates a secure, watertight, ventilated roof that stands firm through the elements and remains protected over time.
The Components of the Integrity Roof System
Here’s how the full system comes together during installation:
1. Waterproofing Underlayment
This is the first layer of defense installed in valleys, around chimneys, skylights, and other vulnerable areas. The waterproofing layer blocks leaks caused by ice dams, wind-driven rain, and heavy storms.
2. High-Performance Underlayment
Placed across the roof deck, this underlayment adds an extra layer of protection under the shingles. It prevents moisture infiltration and helps the roof breathe.
3. Starter Shingles
Installed along the edges, starter shingles help seal the first course of shingles and provide wind resistance. This step ensures your shingles stay secure even in strong Maryland wind gusts.
4. CertainTeed Shingles
This is the visible layer, but it’s only one part of the system. Da’ Roofers use premium CertainTeed shingles designed for durability, long-term granule retention, and superior weather resistance.
5. Hip and Ridge Shingles (Such as ShadowRidge)
These finishing components protect the most vulnerable lines on your roof: hips and ridges. They also provide a clean, high-quality look that complements the rest of the system.
6. Proper Roof Ventilation
Ventilation is a crucial part of the Integrity System. By installing ridge vents, soffit vents, and other components, Da’ Roofers ensure:
Balanced airflow
Reduced attic heat and moisture
Extended shingle lifespan
Lower chances of mold, rot, and ice buildup
Ventilation is one of the biggest factors in long-term roof performance.
Why This System Works So Well
A roof fails when one part breaks down, whether that’s a flashing problem, ventilation issue, or weak underlayment. The Integrity Roof System avoids that by making sure every component works together as a unified system.
With this approach, you get:
Better leak protection
Higher wind resistance
Enhanced attic airflow
Improved shingle performance
Longer roof lifespan
Better overall value
This is why Da’ Roofers trust CertainTeed products for any Maryland home.
Installation Matters Just as Much as Materials

Even the best roof system won’t perform well without proper installation. Da’ Roofers follow CertainTeed specifications to make sure each component is installed exactly as designed. This allows homeowners to qualify for advanced warranties like the SureStart PLUS 4-Star protection.
It also ensures:
Proper sealing
Correct fastener placement
Balanced ventilation
Full system performance
Every part of the system is installed with the next layer in mind. That’s why we at Da’ Roofers always use CertainTeed products.
