FAQs
Why are Owens Corning shingles recommended for homes in Belvidere?
Owens Corning shingles are engineered with SureNail® Technology, giving them exceptional wind resistance—up to 130 mph—and a reinforced nailing strip that helps every course seal tightly against Belvidere’s gusty spring storms. The fiberglass mat and TruDefinition® color granules also resist fading and algae growth, issues common in Northern Illinois’ humid summers. These shingles meet UL Class A fire ratings and ENERGY STAR® requirements, providing both safety and potential energy savings for local homeowners.
How long can I expect an Owens Corning roof to last in Belvidere’s climate?
When installed by a Platinum Preferred Contractor and properly ventilated, most Owens Corning architectural shingles have a service life of 25–30 years in northern Illinois. Premium lines such as Duration® and Duration FLEX® can reach 40 years or more. Longevity ultimately depends on maintenance, attic ventilation, and periodic inspections to catch minor issues caused by snow loads or hail before they spread.
What color and style options are available?
Owens Corning offers dozens of TruDefinition® Duration and Oakridge® colors, ranging from classic Estate Gray and Onyx Black to bold Pacific Wave and Desert Rose. Belvidere homeowners can also choose Designer lines, like Berkshire® slate-look shingles or Woodmoor® shake-style profiles. Our consultants bring full-size sample boards to your home so you can compare shades against your brick, siding, or trim in natural light.
What warranties come with an Owens Corning roofing system?
All Owens Corning shingles include a Limited Lifetime Warranty that covers manufacturing defects for as long as you own your home. When we install the complete Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System™—underlayment, starter strip, hip-ridge shingles, and ventilation—we can register an upgraded System Protection or Preferred Protection warranty with up to 50 years of non-prorated coverage and 130 mph wind protection. Labor and tear-off are included for the first 10–25 years, depending on the package selected.
How does the roofing and siding installation process work for Belvidere homeowners?
1) Free Inspection: We evaluate your roof, gutters, and siding, then provide a detailed digital report and estimate. 2) Product Selection: Choose shingle style, color, and any siding upgrades. 3) Scheduling & Permits: We pull Belvidere Building Department permits and confirm HOA approvals where required. 4) Installation Day: Most roofs are torn off and replaced in 1–2 days; siding averages 3–5 days depending on home size. 5) Cleanup & Final Walk-Through: Magnetic nail sweep, debris removal, and a quality checklist review. 6) Warranty Registration: We submit all paperwork to Owens Corning, and you receive digital copies within two weeks.
Do you offer financing or insurance-claim assistance for roofing and siding projects?
Yes. For out-of-pocket projects we partner with lenders that offer zero-interest plans up to 18 months and low-APR terms up to 144 months. If your roof or siding has storm damage, our Haag-certified inspectors meet with your adjuster, document damage, and help maximize your claim under Illinois HB 2170 guidelines. We can start work as soon as the first insurance check is issued, so you’re protected without long delays.
