CertainTeed Landmark Driftwood PRO is a different shingle than standard Landmark Driftwood, and the difference is visible from the curb. Landmark PRO is built with CertainTeed’s Max Def granule technology, which applies more heavily coated, higher-contrast granules across the shingle surface. In the Driftwood colorway that produces a deeper, richer wood-tone blend with far more color movement as the light changes across the roof.
Both shingles are architectural, both carry CertainTeed’s lifetime limited warranty, and both are installed the same way. The upgrades in PRO are in the material itself:
If you are weighing the two, the practical question is how long you plan to stay and how much the roof needs to carry the front of the house. Standard Landmark is a strong, proven architectural shingle and the more cost-efficient choice, and for a rental property or a roof that is mostly hidden by trees it is the sensible pick. Landmark PRO is worth the step up when the roof is a visible part of the design, when you want the deepest color the Driftwood family offers, and when the extra weight and impact performance matter on a long-term hold. Most of our Driftwood PRO customers are on homes with brick or stone facades where the roof is read from the street every day.
