Owens Corning Duration shingles problems

At Home Run Improvement, we don’t hear many complaints about Owens Corning roof shingles. As a rule, problems happen due to incorrect installation or poor choice of a shingles type. Some types of shingles are just too weak to withstand sharp winds and other severe weather conditions. For instance, if you live in an area that gets much wind-driven rain (e.g., coastal area), you had better choose the shingles with a high level of wind resistance.

Also, remember that shingles are not your roof. They just protect it. Getting the right shingles is essential, but if you cheap out on your roofer or the underlayments, your roof won’t serve you long.

To avoid roofing issues, talk to Home Run Improvement experts about your roofing needs. They will help you choose the best protection for your roof, and you will be able to enjoy its great performance and appearance for many years.
