COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions homeowners ask about our credentials

Where has RoofSmart been featured?

RoofSmart owner Jim Singleterry has appeared on the MetalCoffeeShop podcast (October 6, 2026) and on AskARoofer, including a July 29, 2026 minisode on protecting rooftop deck membranes, related editorial coverage, and a Q&A on rooftop deck builds.

RoofSmart is also an official Seattle Seahawks Small Business Partner, and Jim contributed a chapter to the Amazon bestselling business anthology Empathy and Understanding In Business.

What does CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER mean?

It’s a CertainTeed contractor credential. CertainTeed lists RoofSmart as a ShingleMaster PREMIER contractor on its public contractor profile.

It’s a manufacturer program credential, not an award or ranking.

Is the Seattle Seahawks partnership an award or an endorsement?

Neither.

RoofSmart is an official Small Business Partner in the Seattle Seahawks / Eleven Sports Media Small Business Program, and RoofSmart is listed on the program’s partner page on seahawks.com.

It’s a business partnership program, not an award, news coverage, or a team endorsement of roofing work.

What is GuildQuality?

GuildQuality is a third-party customer-survey platform.

It surveys homeowners after their project and publishes verified responses on RoofSmart’s contractor profile.

It’s a review platform, not a press feature. Current ratings are on the live GuildQuality profile.

What is Jim Singleterry’s book credit?

Jim contributed the chapter “Loss, Gratitude, And Building Trust Along The Way” to Empathy and Understanding In Business, an Amazon bestseller.

The book is a multi-author anthology co-billed with Chris Voss. Jim is a contributing author: it’s a chapter credit, not a book Jim wrote on his own.

Are manufacturer badges the same as awards?

No.

Badges like CertainTeed ShingleMaster PREMIER, CertainTeed Master Craftsman, GAF Certified Plus, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor,

Owens Corning’s Top of the House, SureNail, TPRS, and Solar PROtect certifications,

and our authorized-installer status with Duradek, Euroshield, ProVia, EDCO, Kassel & Irons, WeatherBond, and Duro-Last,

plus our James Hardie ALLIANCE membership, are manufacturer contractor programs.

They’re credentials, not awards or rankings. Our awards are listed in the Awards section.
