CertainTeed's Integrity Roofing System Shines in the Latest 2013 Living Spaces® Facebook® Home Makeover Video Contest Webisode

VALLEY FORGE, Pa., Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The fifth installment in the CertainTeed 2013 Living Spaces^® Facebook^® Home Makeover Video Contest webisode series delves into the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System^™, designed to provide optimum performance regardless of weather conditions. The system consists of WinterGuard® and DiamondDeck^™ underlayments that offer long-term roof protection in conjunction with SwiftStart^™ starter shingles and CedarCrest® hip and ridge shingle caps.

Starring the Bielfelt family of Mentor, Ohio, the webisode details the family's quest for a new roof to complement the natural appeal of the century-old home. The homeowners selected CertainTeed Landmark^™ Pro Max Def Weathered Wood shingles to create the perfect look of multi-dimensional visual appeal and beautiful shadows. CertainTeed's Max Def colors tout a richer mixture of surface granules that enhance the dimensional quality of the shingles and lead to a brighter, more vibrant appearance. 

CertainTeed 5-Star Green and Master Shingle Applicator contractor, RJK Construction Co., of Willoughby, Ohio, completed the installation of the durable shingles, which will protect the home for years to come.

Grand prize winner of the $75,000 exterior makeover contest, the Bielfelts, are the subject of a series of CertainTeed Living Spaces webisodes documenting the renovation of their 100-year-old home. The series follows the family, along with CertainTeed 5-Star Green, 5-Star Fence and Master Shingle Applicator contractors, from the planning stages of the renovation through its completion.

In the last webisode, RJK Construction Co. installed WinterGuard and DiamondDeck roofing underlayment, as well as CertaWrap^™, CertaTape^™ and CertaFlash^™ housewrap products to ensure a water- and wind-tight barrier to protect the century-old home's original structure.
