For standard product limited warranties, anyone can install provided the proper installation instructions and local building codes are followed. For extended warranty protection options, an Owens Corning Roofing Platinum or Preferred Contractors are the only roofing professionals authorized to install.

What does ‘Limited Lifetime’ Warranty mean?

As an owner of a single family detached home, lifetime coverage means that your warranty is in effect for manufacturing defects as long as you own your home. Coverage period is reduced for non-single family or commercial structures.

Who is authorized to provide an extended warranty?

Owens Corning® Roofing Platinum and Preferred Contractors are the only roofing professionals authorized to provide an extended warranty.

What products are required to obtain an extended warranty?

In 2018, the current requirements to obtain an extended warranty include the following:

System Protection/ Total Protection Roofing System® (TPRS) Warranties: Hip & Ridge shingles plus two other accessories
Platinum Protection/Preferred Protection Warranties: Hip & Ridge shingles plus three other accessories

After I submit my warranty claim information, what will happen?

If we have received all the required information you should receive notification as to the disposition of your claim within 2-3 weeks.
If we do not receive all the required information, your claim will be significantly delayed. We will send a letter or e-mail identifying any missing information as we will not proceed with your claim, until that information is received.

Why do I need to provide two full shingle samples and photographs?

We require shingle samples from the affected area of the roof to identify that the product was produced by Owens Corning and to be able to perform any testing to determine if there is a manufacturing defect. Please note it is important to replace shingles you remove as failure to do so could result in damage to the roof or the interior

How can I get samples and pictures?

We recommend contacting a local roofing contractor to help you obtain the proper information. To find a list of independent contractors in your area go to the following: https://www.owenscorning.com/roofing/contractors.

Why do I need to provide a proof of ownership and proof of purchase?

Providing documentation showing proof of ownership protects the homeowner by preventing anyone from entering a fraudulent claim on the property. For example, this document prevents a tenant from filing a fraudulent claim on a rental property.
Providing a proof of purchase confirms the date the shingles were installed, the type of shingle and the quantity installed. This information is necessary to correctly determine the warranty coverage for the claim reimbursement.

How do I get a copy of the Owens Corning Warranty in effect at the time my shingles were installed?

Coverage is based on the warranty in effect at the time your shingles were installed. To obtain a copy of a warranty for any shingles installed prior to last year, please call 1-800-766-3464 or email [email protected] to request a copy. You will need to indicate the month and year your shingles were installed.
A copy of the warranty for shingles installed within the last year can be found on our website at http://www.owenscorning.com/roofing/warranty-101.

Where can I find a proof of purchase?

You can check with the original installer or the shingle supplier to see if they have records. A proof of purchase can be a receipt from the point of purchase or contractor’s invoice.

Where can I find a proof of ownership?

Often proof of ownership can be found on the county website the property resides in. This can be a copy of a deed, tax bill or building permit showing ownership at the time the shingles were installed.

How do I submit photos?

Color photographs can be emailed as attachments to [email protected]; please provide the claim number in the subject line. If email is not an option color printed photographs can be included in the claim box with the shingle samples to our world headquarters at:
