Awards & CertificationsOwens Corning Platinum Preferred — Top 1% of Roofers in America
New View Roofing is one of the select few roofing contractors in the United States to hold Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status — the highest certification level in the roofing industry. This means every project we complete is backed by the strongest warranty available — 50 years of coverage backed directly by Owens Corning, not by us. Independent quality audits, manufacturer-verified installation, and a warranty that stays with your home even if we're not around.
What Is Platinum Preferred?
The Highest Honor in Roofing
Owens Corning — the world's largest roofing manufacturer — created a three-tier contractor certification program to help homeowners identify the most qualified installers. The tiers are: Independent (uncertified), Preferred, and Platinum Preferred. Only about 1% of all roofing contractors in the U.S. achieve and maintain Platinum status.
Platinum Preferred isn't a title you buy or apply for. It's earned through years of proven performance — verified customer satisfaction, flawless installation audits, ethical business practices, and a commitment to using the complete Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System on every single job.
For homeowners, choosing a Platinum Preferred Contractor like New View Roofing means access to the industry's strongest warranty: 50-year material coverage + 25-year workmanship coverage, backed directly by Owens Corning — not the contractor. It's fully transferable to new owners within 60 days of the home sale. No other certification in residential roofing offers this level of protection.
The Platinum Standard
What Does It Take to Become Platinum Preferred?
Owens Corning doesn't hand out Platinum status lightly. Here are the six core requirements every Platinum contractor must meet — and continue meeting every year to maintain their certification:
Rigorous Training & Certification
Platinum Preferred Contractors must complete extensive Owens Corning training programs covering proper installation techniques for every component of the Total Protection Roofing System. This includes annual recertification and continuing education on new products and building codes.
Customer Satisfaction Tracking
Owens Corning independently surveys homeowners after every installation. Platinum contractors must maintain a 95%+ satisfaction score. If scores drop, Platinum status is revoked. There's no 'grandfather clause' — you earn it every single year.
Full Insurance & Licensing Verification
Owens Corning verifies that every Platinum contractor carries proper general liability insurance, workers' compensation, and state licensing. For New View Roofing, that means our CSLB License C39 #1049163 and full bonding are audited annually.
Installation Quality Audits
Owens Corning conducts random on-site inspections of completed projects. These audits verify that every layer — from deck protection to ridge caps — meets the manufacturer's exact installation specifications. Failing an audit means losing Platinum status.
Business Practice Standards
Platinum contractors must demonstrate ethical business practices including transparent pricing, written contracts, proper permitting, and professional conduct. Owens Corning reviews complaint histories and Better Business Bureau records as part of the evaluation.
Exclusive Use of Total Protection System
Platinum contractors commit to installing the complete Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System — not just shingles, but the entire integrated system of underlayment, starter strips, hip & ridge, and ventilation. This system-level approach is what unlocks the full 50-year warranty.

Why Should Homeowners Care About Platinum Status?
Choosing a Platinum Preferred Contractor isn't just about prestige — it directly impacts the protection, value, and longevity of your home's most important system:
Strongest Warranty Available
The 50-year Platinum warranty is backed directly by Owens Corning — not the contractor. It covers materials, labor, and tear-off, and is fully transferable to new homeowners within 60 days of the home sale. Even if something happened to us, Owens Corning would send another certified contractor to honor the warranty.
Verified Installation Quality
Owens Corning randomly audits Platinum contractors' completed projects. This means your roof isn't just installed — it's installed to verified manufacturer specifications, reducing the risk of premature failure.
Proven Track Record
Platinum status can't be bought. It requires years of 5-star customer ratings, zero unresolved complaints, and consistent use of the Total Protection Roofing System. It's the closest thing to a guarantee of quality.
Increased Home Value
A documented Platinum warranty transfers to new homeowners, making your property more attractive to buyers. Real estate agents consistently report that transferable roof warranties are a top selling point.
