When you get a new roof through us, you’re not just getting quality installation. You’re also getting the System Protection Limited Warranty from Owens Corning included with your project. As a Preferred Contractor, we’re able to offer this level of coverage on every roof we install.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through what the warranty actually covers and how we help make sure it’s properly registered and ready to go. We also include our own 10 year workmanship warranty, so you’re protected from both material issues and installation related problems.
Understanding Owens Corning Warranties
Owens Corning warranties are designed to protect homeowners from manufacturing defects and ensure their roofing system is built to last. The warranties cover a range of issues, including defects in materials, algae resistance, and wind damage. In addition, extended warranties like System Protection, Preferred Protection, and Platinum Protection offer more comprehensive coverage, including labor costs for repairs or replacements.
Each warranty level has distinct features, including the TRU PROtection® period, which offers full protection (including labor costs) for a specified period. Workmanship coverage, available with higher-tier options like Preferred and Platinum Protection, ensures that you are covered in case of improper installation by a certified Owens Corning contractor.
Types of Warranties Offered by Owens Corning
Owens Corning offers four main warranty options, each with different levels of coverage. These include the Standard Protection Limited Warranty, System Protection Limited Warranty, Preferred Protection Limited Warranty, and Platinum Protection Limited Warranty. The table below provides an overview of each option:
| Warranty Type | TRU PROtection® Period | Workmanship Coverage | Materials Coverage (After TRU Period) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Protection Limited Warranty | First 10 Years | None | Prorated after 10 years |
| System Protection Limited Warranty | First 50 Years | None | Prorated after 50 years |
| Preferred Protection Limited Warranty | First 50 Years | First 10 Years | Prorated after 50 years |
| Platinum Protection Limited Warranty | First 50 Years | Lifetime (first 25 years) | Prorated after 50 years |
Each warranty offers varying protection, depending on the level you choose. The higher-tier options, such as Preferred Protection and Platinum Protection, provide extended benefits like contractor workmanship coverage and extended labor warranties.

Key Features of Owens Corning Warranties
Owens Corning warranties come with several important features designed to provide peace of mind for homeowners:
TRU PROtection® Period:
- The TRU PROtection® period is a key feature that provides full protection during the early years of your roof’s life. It includes both materials and labor coverage for repairs or replacements due to manufacturing defects. The length of this period varies depending on the warranty type, with up to 50 years of coverage available for higher-tier options.
Workmanship Coverage:
- Available with Preferred Protection and Platinum Protection warranties, workmanship coverage protects homeowners from installation errors made by certified Owens Corning contractors. This ensures that if there are any issues due to improper installation, they will be covered under the warranty.
Algae Resistance:
- Owens Corning offers StreakGuard® algae resistance coverage, which helps prevent the unsightly black streaks caused by algae growth on your roof. This feature is included in most warranty types and provides coverage for up to 25 years, provided the proper Hip & Ridge shingles are used.
Blow-Off Coverage:
- Owens Corning shingles are covered against wind damage during the first 15 years after thermal sealing is achieved, with protection against winds up to 110 MPH (or up to 130 MPH for a duration) for the Standard Protection and System Protection warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Owens Corning Warranties Be Transferred to New Homeowners?
Yes, Owens Corning warranties can be transferred to new homeowners, but there is usually a transfer fee. This is key when you sell your home because the remaining coverage period of the shingle’s limited lifetime warranty can make your home more appealing to buyers. You will usually need to provide proof of ownership and warranty documents during the transfer process.
How Does Owens Corning Warranty Compare With Other Brands in Ohio?
Owens Corning offers warranty options that are quite competitive in Ohio. They provide a strong level of protection with both standard and extended warranties. However, it’s good to compare their coverage and benefits with those of other brands, as warranty options can change by region.
