Replacing your roof is a big investment, however, with Family Home Improvements, you can feel confident when replacing your roof because it’s backed with a great warranty.

Owens Corning Standard Coverage

All of our Owens Corning roofs come with a lifetime warranty length with coverage for shingles and all Owens Corning Components. Each warranty starts with a TRU PROtection® Period during the initial years where coverage includes labor cost to repair/replace defective materials. You get this coverage for the first 10 years. All the coverages this warranty includes are:

• TRU PROtection® Period [First 10 years] – Coverage includes labor cost to repair/replace defective materials.
• Materials Only Coverage [After 10 years] – After the TRU PROtection® Period is over, warranty compensation is for materials only. The compensation is reduced based on the number of years you’ve enjoyed your roof from the installation date through the date of your claim.
• Blow Off Coverage [First 15 years] – After your shingles have achieved thermal sealing they will be covered if they experience blow-offs or wind damage in winds (including gusts) for the wind speed listed for the period from the original installation date.
• StreakGuard™ Algae Resistance [First 10 years] – Warranty length following the date of installation against brown-black staining caused by the growth of cyanobacteria Gloeocapsa magma algae.
