  • Why does it matter whether my roof is vented properly?

    Proper ventilation is essential to keeping roofs looking and performing their best, which is why any experienced roof installer ensures an attic is vented correctly. Without proper ventilation, excessive heat and moisture can get trapped in the attic, causing damage to your home. A properly ventilated attic gives the trapped heat and moisture an escape route, resulting in improved home energy efficiency and enhanced performance of shingles. Proper insulation and ventilation minimize the temperature difference between the attic and the air outside, helping to reduce energy costs.

  • Do dark shingles make your house hotter?

    Yes, dark shingles absorb more solar heat than light-colored ones, which can raise the surface temperature of your roof. However, working with a qualified roof installer to ensure proper attic ventilation and adequate insulation will effectively counteract this heat absorption, keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient regardless of your shingle color.

  • What is Ice & Water Barrier?

    It is a self-sealing layer that allows for proper water flow and helps prevent the need for frequent roof repair caused by shingle blow-off, wind-driven rain, and ice damming. It acts as added protection in the most vulnerable sections of the roof to create a strong second line of defense.

  • Are your shingles resistant to hail damage?

    Yes. Owens Corning Duration Series Shingles have enhanced impact resistance to hail and pass the UL 2218 and FM 4473 testing for class 3 impact resistance, providing savings potential for homeowners. Because shingle products rated for impact resistance may be less likely to need roof repair or replacement, they can qualify for a homeowner insurance discount. Homeowners should check with their insurance company for discount qualification details and requirements.

  • What type of roof warranty to you offer?

    As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, our team is qualified as a premier roof installer to offer the highest level of Owens Corning warranty available—the Platinum Protection Limited Lifetime Warranty, which covers 50 years on materials and 25 years on workmanship.

  • Do you offer financing?

  • Why do I need bigger gutters?

    6” gutters can carry approximately 1½ times more water than a 5” gutter helping to keep water away from the house.

  • Why are seamless gutters better?

    Seamless gutters provide a cleaner and more appealing look and also have les of a chance for leaks due to eliminating most connecting joints.

  • How do I know if I need new windows?

    Drafts, fogging between panes, difficult operation, rising energy bills, or visible frame damage are common signs it may be time for replacement windows.

  • Why do I want double pane windows?

    Double pane windows provide a better insulation quality which increases the comfort level in the home and can help reduce utility bills.
