FAQs
What does it mean to be an Owens Corning-approved roofing and gutter contractor in Washburn?
Owens Corning designates contractors who meet strict standards for workmanship, professionalism, and ongoing training. As an approved contractor in Washburn, we can offer you the full line of Owens Corning shingles, insulation, and accessory products, register enhanced system warranties that non-approved roofers cannot, and follow manufacturer-specified installation practices to maximize product life and performance.
How long does a typical roof and gutter replacement take in the Washburn area?
For an average single-family home, most Owens Corning roof replacements take 1–2 days, and gutters add roughly half a day. Larger or complex roofs, underlying deck repairs, or weather delays can extend the timeline, but we schedule jobs so your home is usually dried-in the first evening to protect against unexpected rain common to the Upper Midwest climate.
What warranty coverage will I receive on an Owens Corning roofing system and new gutters?
You receive two layers of protection: (1) Owens Corning’s manufacturer warranty covering material defects—lifetime on shingles and 10–15 years on accessories depending on the product; (2) Our Owens Corning-approved workmanship warranty, with options ranging from 10- to 25-year labor coverage when you choose an integrated roofing system. Gutters carry a separate 20-year material warranty and a 5-year labor warranty from our company.
Are Owens Corning shingles and accessories suitable for Washburn’s harsh winters and lake-effect weather?
Yes. Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration, Duration FLEX, and WeatherGuard HP shingles feature SureNail Technology for superior wind resistance (up to 130 mph) and Class 3 or 4 impact ratings for hail. Their fiberglass/asphalt blend retains flexibility in sub-zero temperatures, helping prevent cracking. When combined with proper attic ventilation and ice-and-water barrier installation, the system resists ice dams and moisture intrusion typical in Washburn winters.
How do you ensure my new gutters work seamlessly with the Owens Corning roof system?
We design gutters during the roofing estimate, calculating roof square footage, pitch, and downspout placement so runoff is managed without overflowing fascia or foundation areas. Seamless aluminum or steel gutters are color-matched to Owens Corning trim options. We install premium hidden hangers into the new fascia board, add oversized downspouts where needed, and integrate gutter guards upon request to reduce leaf buildup from Washburn’s deciduous trees.
What factors affect the cost of an Owens Corning-approved roof and gutter replacement in Washburn?
Pricing depends on roof size (square footage), steepness, number of layers to remove, choice of Owens Corning shingle line (Duration vs. Berkshire, etc.), ventilation upgrades, gutter metal thickness, and optional add-ons like gutter guards. As a local contractor, we provide transparent, itemized quotes and can help with insurance claims for hail or wind damage, often lowering out-of-pocket costs for qualifying homeowners.
