When you’re choosing a roofing contractor, you may see different manufacturer certifications and badges on roofing company websites. One you may come across is the Owens Corning Preferred Contractor designation.
Bull Run Roofing is proud to be an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
But what does that actually mean for you as a homeowner?
It means Bull Run Roofing has met Owens Corning’s requirements to participate in its contractor network and can provide eligible Owens Corning roofing systems and applicable warranty options.
Becoming an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor Isn’t Automatic
Owens Corning Preferred Contractors are part of an exclusive network of roofing professionals that must meet standards and requirements for professionalism and reliability.
Owens Corning’s contractor expectations cover important areas of the roofing process, including insurance, written estimates, building codes, installation practices, ventilation, inspections, and warranty knowledge.
- Adequate insurance coverage: Owens Corning’s published contractor expectations state that Preferred Contractors carry at least $1 million in general liability insurance.
- Written estimates: Contractors are expected to provide homeowners with a written estimate that clearly explains the work being performed and identifies any work that may be subcontracted.
- Building-code compliance: Contractors are expected to understand and comply with applicable local building codes.
- Thorough roof inspections: Owens Corning’s expectations address inspection of areas beyond the shingles, including the roof deck, attic, flashing, chimney, soil stacks, and other roof penetrations.
- Manufacturer installation requirements: Contractors are expected to understand and follow Owens Corning’s installation specifications.
- Proper ventilation: Contractors are expected to evaluate attic ventilation and explain its importance to the homeowner.
- Warranty knowledge: Contractors should be able to explain the applicable warranty and what it covers.
- Proper roofing-system installation: Owens Corning emphasizes installation of its roofing systems according to manufacturer requirements.
These requirements matter because your roof is more than the shingles you see from the ground. The materials, installation, and components that make up the roofing system all play a role in how your roof performs.
Why Does Preferred Contractor Status Matter?
When you hire a roofing contractor, you’re trusting that company with one of the most important systems protecting your home.
Choosing a contractor who participates in a manufacturer’s preferred contractor network gives you another way to evaluate the company you’re considering.
With Bull Run Roofing, our Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status means you have a local roofing company that has met Owens Corning’s requirements to participate in its contractor network.
It also means we can install eligible Owens Corning roofing systems and provide applicable Owens Corning warranty options.
It’s About More Than the Shingles
A roof isn’t simply a layer of shingles.
A complete roofing system can include shingles, underlayment, ventilation, flashing, and other components that work together to protect your home.
That’s why proper installation matters.
Owens Corning provides installation specifications for its roofing products, and contractors in its network are expected to follow those requirements.
At Bull Run Roofing, we take the same approach.
We look at the roof as a complete system and take the time to explain what we’re recommending and why.
