THE MOST POPULAR OWENS CORNING SHINGLE
Owens Corning Duration shingles are a popular choice in roofing materials for several reasons.
The first is that you get a wide selection of Duration shingle colors. These are among the most popular shingle lines offered by Owens Corning.
The right roofing shingle color can make your house stand out in the crowd. TruDefinition® Duration® shingles feature high contrast, monochromatic hues in a wide range of colors. Whatever your home’s architectural style or color palette, you’re sure to find a Duration shingle that matches.
The beauty of Duration shingles enhances curb appeal and complements various home styles. Homeowners can draw inspiration from neighborhood examples and current design trends when selecting shingle colors and styles.
Duration shingles aren’t just attractive, they’re durable. Owens Corning makes its architectural shingles with multiple laminated layers of asphalt-coated fiberglass, highlighting the use of asphalt for flexibility and durability.
This construction creates a dimensional appearance, giving your roof a higher end look compared to standard three-tab shingles. Owens Corning Duration® Series Shingles feature patented SureNail® Technology, which enhances strength and durability.
The shingles feature high contrast, vibrant hues, and advanced color technology that enhances the roof’s visual impact. They are also engineered to meet the highest wind resistance standards, with an impressive 110 MPH rating, and are designed to withstand high winds up to 130 MPH.
Duration STORM® shingles focus heavily on hurricane-force wind resistance. Standard Duration shingles typically carry a Class 3 impact resistance rating, while Duration STORM® and FLEX® versions carry a Class 4 rating. Duration STORM® Shingles achieve a UL 2218 Class 4 rating for impact resistance, integrating a polymeric backing material.
Owens Corning Duration® FLEX® shingles are Class 4 impact-resistant, designed to resist cracking and tearing in all weather conditions.
Professionally installed Duration shingles typically last 25 to 30 years, and can exceed 30 years with proper maintenance.
And Duration shingles offer excellent resistance against algae growth. With Long Island’s maritime weather, high winds and unattractive black streaks and spots are real roof issues. StreakGuard® algae protection uses copper-lined granules to resist blue-green algae growth for up to 25 years on specific models, maintaining the roof’s appearance.
An Owens Corning Duration roof is a great way to protect your home and family from inclement weather.
A full roof replacement is one of the wisest Long Island home improvement projects. Roof replacements have one of the highest ROIs on resale. And because modern roofing materials are more energy-efficient and durable, you get immediate savings on your utility bills.
Duration shingles are considered a premium architectural product, with specialty versions like Duration FLEX® costing approximately 10–15% more. While costs are a consideration, the premium features, durability, and warranty make them a valuable investment.
Owens Corning Duration® Series Shingles are covered under a Limited Lifetime Warranty for manufacturing defects as long as the homeowner owns the home.
Homeowners can access up to 50 years of non-prorated material protection and 25 years of workmanship coverage when Duration shingles are installed by certified contractors.

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN A NEW OWENS CORNING ROOF REPLACEMENT?
Your full roof replacement starts with a roof inspection.
We examine your roof carefully to make sure that there are no structural issues with the roof frame or roof deck. We also make sure there are no tears in the roof membrane that might lead to water damage later.
Once we check on your roof’s condition, we work with you to select roofing materials.
When selecting shingles, multiple factors—such as personal style, budget, warranty expectations, and your plans for staying in your home—can influence your decision. Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional or laminated shingles, are a popular choice.
They are made up of multiple layers of asphalt-coated fiberglass laminated together, which differentiates them from three-tab shingles that use a single layer of fiberglass mat.
Architectural shingles were introduced to the market in the 1970s and ’80s and provide an aesthetic appeal that enhances the style of your home. They offer homeowners an affordable option for protection and style, and some may be covered by better warranties than three-tab shingles.
You can choose the type and color of shingles you want. We will also discuss the underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and other roof components. We use only high quality roofing materials for durability and long-term performance.
Before we can install your new roof, we must remove the old roofing.
This involves stripping away your existing shingles, underlayment, and any flashing or trim that needs replacement. If we find that any part of your roof decking has rotted or warped, we replace it first before we begin the installation.
Your new roof installation starts with a new underlayment.
This membrane provides a barrier against water infiltration. From there we install shingles starting from the bottom edge of the roof and working upward. Roof installers must carefully place and secure each shingle using nails or staples.
Metal flashing and trim helps seal your roof in vulnerable areas like valleys, vents, chimneys, and skylights.
When properly installed, flashing diverts water away from seams and joints. Flashing installation is a meticulous job which requires careful sealing and securing.
Many roof installers do sloppy flashing work, which soon leads to leaks and water-stained ceilings. This is one of the most common roof problems we work with. We make sure your roof is properly flashed so your family stays dry.
After we install the shingles, flashing, and trim, we give your new roof a final inspection. We make sure everything is in order and up to Long Island building codes. Then we do a final broom cleaning to make sure your property is completely free of debris.
Installing a new Owens Corning roof involves careful preparation and meticulous attention to detail. Each step of the roofing process is critical to ensuring your new roof’s longevity, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
Fifteen Owens Corning Duration Colors to Choose From
TRUDEFINITION MEANS COLOR THAT LASTS
TruDefinition® is an Owens Corning color design trademark. OC uses multiple-granule colors and shadowing to provide vibrant and lasting colors and shadowing. The TruDefinition color palette produces a beautiful roof that will make your old Long Island house look like a brand new home.
TruDefinition shingles also hold their granules well. Granule loss is a common problem with worn shingles. After a few years of wear and tear, cheap shingles will start showing shiny patches and serious color fading. Owens Corning Duration shingles will last for decades.

NOT ALL ROOFERS ARE EQUAL.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT!
The Seven Parts of a Residential Roof
Roof Deck
The roof deck consists of sheets of plywood nailed to the roof frame. It’s the foundation for all the other roof layers. If your roof deck is warped or rotted, those boards must be replaced before anything else can be installed.
Underlayment
The underlayment is a level of waterproofing and weather protection designed to keep out drafts and moisture and insulate your home against the elements. It is typically made of asphalt-saturated felt or synthetic materials.
Drip Edge
Drip edges are metal sheets, installed at the edge of the roof. They direct water away from the fascia and into the gutter. Without a drip edge, you would soon see serious damage to your roof deck and shingles.
Roof Flashing
Roof flashing is a thin material, usually galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper, that professional roofers use to seal the juncture where the roof plane meets a vertical surface. You’ll find flashing around chimneys, skylights, dormers, and walls. like a wall or a dormer.
Ventilation
Poor ventilation leads to your roof and attic overheating in the summer and cold in the winter. This raises your energy bills and can ruin your shingles. Roof installers must install proper ventilation at the soffits and roof ridge.
Shingles
While they call it a shingle roof, shingles are the last item installed. Roofers must attach each shingle properly with nails or staples. If applied incorrectly, your new shingle roof might not last through the next nor’easter.
Hip and Ridge Shingles
Ridge cap shingles use the same material and offer the same look in terms of color. But they are specially designed to provide additional protection to the roof’s ridges.
