CertainTeed NorthGate ClimateFlex colors
The 12 colors CertainTeed lists for NorthGate ClimateFlex. The swatches are our own drawings, an impression of each color's tone, not a photo or a color match: granule blends look different in sun, shade and on a whole roof. Look at a real sample board, and a house near you with the color on it, before you choose. CertainTeed says the line is sold in region-specific colours and available only in areas shown on its map; it does not mark individual colours.

What a CertainTeed NorthGate ClimateFlex roof costs
Our quote engine's price for a roof of architectural shingles at a 6/12 pitch, old layer torn off, at US-average roofer wages. The roof is bigger than the house: the pitch adds about 12% to the footprint.
| House footprint | Roof | Installed |
|---|---|---|
| 1,500 sq ft | 16.8 squares | $9,500–$10,900 |
| 2,000 sq ft | 22.4 squares | $12,400–$14,300 |
| 2,500 sq ft | 28.0 squares | $15,400–$17,700 |
The engine prices architectural shingles as one class, not by brand, so these figures are the same on every line of that class we cover. Within the class, roof size, pitch, tear-off and local labour move a price far more than the label on the bundle; what NorthGate ClimateFlex costs your roofer depends on their supplier, so ask for it by name. Prices in your state: roof replacement cost by state.
