FAQs
Why should I choose Owens Corning Preferred materials for my roof in Sale Creek?
Owens Corning Preferred materials are engineered for durability, wind resistance, and color retention—qualities that matter in Sale Creek’s mix of hot summers, heavy rain, and occasional high-wind storms. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we can offer the full Tru PROtection® non-prorated warranty period, factory-certified installation methods, and access to the brand’s most advanced shingles, underlayments, and ventilation products. The result is a roofing system that performs better, lasts longer, and protects your home’s resale value.
What Owens Corning roofing products do you install?
We install the complete Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System®, which typically includes: • TruDefinition® Duration® or Duration FLEX® shingles for superior wind and algae resistance. • ProArmor® or Deck Defense® synthetic underlayment for an added moisture barrier. • WeatherLock® Ice & Water Barrier in valleys, eaves, and penetrations to stop wind-driven rain. • Owens Corning starter strip shingles to reinforce the first row against uplift. • VentSure® ridge vents and intake vents to balance attic airflow. • Hip & Ridge shingles that color-match your main roof field for a finished look. Using the whole system ensures every component is designed to work together, maximizing warranty coverage and long-term performance.
How does the Owens Corning warranty work and what coverage do I receive?
Because we are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, you can upgrade to the Preferred Protection Limited Warranty at no additional cost. This warranty provides: • 50 years of non-prorated coverage on material defects for single-family homes. • 10 years of workmanship coverage backed by Owens Corning (not just our company). • 15 years of wind warranty coverage for winds up to 130 mph when installed with approved accessories. • Transferability to a new owner once during the first 20 years—adding extra resale value to your home.
How long will an Owens Corning roof last in the Sale Creek climate?
When properly installed and ventilated, Owens Corning architectural shingles have an expected service life of 25–30 years in Southeast Tennessee’s climate. Impact-resistant options like Duration FLEX® can last even longer because they are formulated with SBS polymer-modified asphalt that resists hail and thermal cracking. Routine maintenance—such as annual inspections, debris removal, and prompt flashing repairs—will help you reach or exceed the roof’s full lifespan.
What is the typical installation timeline and process for an Owens Corning roof?
Most residential roofs in Sale Creek are completed in one to two days: 1. Pre-job inspection and material delivery. 2. Protective tarping of landscaping and removal of existing shingles down to the decking. 3. Deck repair (if needed) and installation of underlayment, ice-and-water barrier, and starter strip. 4. Application of Owens Corning shingles, hip & ridge caps, and flashing details. 5. Installation of ridge vents or other exhaust vents to create a balanced attic ventilation system. 6. Magnetic nail sweep, debris haul-off, and final walkthrough with the homeowner. The entire process is supervised by an on-site manager who keeps you informed at every stage.
Can an Owens Corning roofing system help reduce energy costs or lower my insurance premiums?
Yes. Owens Corning offers ENERGY STAR® rated COOL Roof Collection shingles that reflect more solar heat, helping keep attic temperatures lower and reducing HVAC load. Proper attic ventilation—an integral part of the Total Protection Roofing System®—also prevents heat buildup and moisture issues, improving overall energy efficiency. Additionally, choosing UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated shingles such as Duration STORM® or Duration FLEX® may qualify for insurance discounts with many carriers because they better withstand hail damage. Always check with your specific insurer and utility provider for available rebates or premium reductions.
