Choosing the right type of shingles can make the difference between a roof that lasts for years and one that needs frequent maintenance.

Comparing CertainTeed’s Landmark™ Premium and Hatteras® asphalt shingles will give you a clearer understanding of your options when considering these two CertainTeed products. Landmark™ Premium shingles are a type of architectural shingle that has a classic look.
