Certainteed Landmark Driftwood

CertainTeed Landmark Driftwood is the color most homeowners land on when they want the warmth of cedar shake without the upkeep. It is a blended shingle, layering tan, brown, and soft gray granules so the roof reads as weathered wood from the street while staying unmistakably architectural asphalt. Crosby Roofing and Seamless Gutters has been installing Landmark Driftwood on homes across Augusta, Columbia, Macon, and the surrounding communities since 1989, and it is still one of the most requested colors on our residential shingle projects.

What You Get With the Landmark Line

Landmark is CertainTeed’s flagship architectural shingle and our default recommendation for a residential reroof. The laminated, dimensional profile is roughly twice the thickness of a three-tab shingle, which is exactly what gives Driftwood its depth and its long shadow line. On a finished roof that translates into real performance, not just curb appeal:

StreakFighter algae resistance, which is what keeps a roof from developing the black streaking you see on older shingles across the Southeast.
A Class A fire rating and a fiberglass mat construction built for high wind and heavy rain.
NailTrak nailing zones, which make the fastening pattern predictable and reduce installation error.
CertainTeed’s lifetime limited warranty, registered at the highest tier available for Landmark.

Crosby Roofing holds CertainTeed’s most advanced credential, Select ShingleMaster. That matters on a Driftwood install, because only Select ShingleMaster contractors are authorized to offer Sure Start Plus 5-Star coverage.

How Driftwood Reads in Place

Driftwood is a warm, mid-toned blend, so it is at its best next to brick, stone veneer, and tan or beige siding. Against a white or light gray house it pulls noticeably warmer and more rustic. Against dark siding it recedes and the roof stops competing with the facade. It is also a forgiving color under the Georgia and South Carolina sun, because the blend hides the granule loss and light streaking that show up quickly on a flat, single-tone shingle.

Driftwood vs. Nearby Colors

Homeowners usually compare Driftwood against Weathered Wood and Georgetown Gray. Weathered Wood is grayer and reads more like aged cedar. Georgetown Gray is cooler and more slate-like. Driftwood sits between them with more brown in the mix. If you are weighing the three, ask us for full-size samples side by side in direct sunlight before you commit.
