FAQs
What does it mean that you are an Owens Corning® Preferred Contractor, and why should Rockwood homeowners care?
Owens Corning® awards Preferred Contractor status only to roofing companies that meet its strict requirements for licensing, insurance, financial stability, customer satisfaction, and ongoing technical training. Because we hold this designation, you know every installer on your roof has been factory-trained in the latest Owens Corning® installation techniques and safety practices. It also means we can register extended system warranties that ordinary roofers can’t offer, giving Rockwood homeowners stronger product and workmanship protection for decades.
Which Owens Corning® shingle lines work best for Rockwood’s weather?
For most local homes we recommend TruDefinition® Duration® shingles because their SureNail® Technology provides exceptional wind resistance up to 130 mph—ideal for the gusty storms Rockwood sees in spring and fall. If your home experiences intense summer sun, TruDefinition® Duration® COOL shingles include solar-reflective granules that can lower attic temperatures and may qualify for ENERGY STAR® credits. For budget-conscious projects, Oakridge® shingles deliver classic architectural style and solid 110-mph wind protection. We pair any shingle with Owens Corning® Deck Defense® underlayment, WeatherLock® ice-and-water barrier on eaves/valleys, and VentSure® ridge ventilation to handle Tennessee’s humidity.
What warranties come with an Owens Corning® roofing system?
All Owens Corning® architectural shingles carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects and 10 years of algae resistance. Because we’re Preferred Contractors, we can also register the Preferred Protection Roofing System Limited Warranty, which extends material defect coverage to 50 years (non-prorated) and includes 10 years of workmanship coverage backed directly by Owens Corning®. The warranty is fully transferable once within the first 10 years if you sell your Rockwood home—adding real resale value.
What does your “Roofing Done Right” installation process involve, and how long will it take?
1) Free inspection and written proposal. 2) Permit acquisition and delivery of materials. 3) Complete tear-off of existing roofing down to the deck, followed by a deck inspection and any necessary repairs. 4) Installation of WeatherLock® ice-and-water barrier, synthetic underlayment, starter course, and drip edge. 5) Precise placement of Owens Corning® shingles with the SureNail® strip and corrosion-resistant fasteners. 6) New flashing, ridge ventilation, and hip/ridge caps. 7) Magnetic nail sweep and debris haul-off. Most average Rockwood residences (20–30 squares) are finished in one to two days, weather permitting, with a final walkthrough to confirm quality.
How much should I budget for an Owens Corning® roof in Rockwood?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, number of existing layers, chosen shingle line, ventilation upgrades, and any deck repairs. In Rockwood, a typical single-family home reroof with TruDefinition® Duration® shingles falls in the $4.50–$6.50 per square foot range installed. Premium COOL or Designer shingles, complex roofs, or structural work can push the price higher. We always provide a detailed, line-item estimate and can assist with insurance claims, zero-down financing, and seasonal promotions to keep your project affordable.
How can an Owens Corning® roofing system improve my home’s energy efficiency and resale value?
Owens Corning® COOL shingles use specially engineered granules to reflect more solar heat, potentially lowering attic temperatures by up to 15 °F and reducing summer cooling costs. The integrated VentSure® ridge-and-soffit ventilation system keeps year-round attic humidity under control, extending HVAC and insulation life. Visually, the deep color blends and multidimensional look of TruDefinition® lines boost curb appeal—studies show a new architectural roof can return 60–70 % of its cost at resale. Combined with the transferable Preferred Protection warranty, your Rockwood property stands out to prospective buyers.
