If you’re planning on getting a new roof for your home, you can’t go wrong with an Owens Corning® roof. In today’s post, local roofing company Window World of Boston takes a look at the reasons why you’ll love an Owens Corning roof over other options on the market.

1. Durability and longevity. An Owens Corning roof is designed and built to endure years of exposure to various weather conditions. High-quality materials and advanced engineering allow Owens Corning to offer complete roofing systems with longer-than-average life spans, such as the Owens Corning Duration® Series. With such a roof, you can have peace of mind for years to come.
2. Energy savings. Owens Corning offers complete roofing systems that are optimized for energy efficiency, thanks to ENERGY STAR® rated shingles. The key is in a reflective outer layer that, like cool roofing systems found on commercial buildings, help reduce the radiant heat absorbed through the roof. This helps cool down the attic and the interior spaces, which can help lower your cooling costs during hot days. In addition to energy savings, it can also help reduce the workload on your HVAC system.
3. Wind and impact resistance. Storm damage is one of the worst things that can happen to any roof. Fortunately, Owens Corning’s Duration Series shingles are rated for wind and impact resistance. The top-of-the-line Duration STORM® asphalt shingles feature Class 4 UL2218 Impact Resistance Rating, with wind resistance of up to 130 miles per hour — the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane. When you have them on your roof, you can rest easy knowing that your home will be safe during a storm.
4. Algae protection. Owens Corning Duration® Premium shingles feature StreakGuard™ Algae Resistance Protection, which helps prevent unsightly black streaks caused by algae and keep your roof looking clean and well-maintained.
5. Comprehensive limited warranties. Owens Corning stands behind the quality of their roofs. This is why their limited warranties are among the best in the business. Each warranty starts with a TRU PROtection® Period during the initial years, where coverage includes labor cost to repair or replace defective materials — with up to a Limited Lifetime warranty coverage on certain roofing systems. As an Owens Corning Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractor, we are proud to back our work with a workmanship warranty to match.
