Owens Corning Platinum 50-Year Warranty
The Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor warranty is the strongest residential roofing warranty available in America. It covers materials for up to 50 years and workmanship for 25 years, and is fully transferable to new homeowners — a warranty level only available through Platinum-certified contractors like New View Roofing.
What Does the Platinum Warranty Cover?
Materials
50-year limited lifetime coverage on all Owens Corning roofing materials including shingles, underlayment, and accessories.
Workmanship
25-year workmanship coverage — if installation issues arise, Owens Corning covers the labor to fix it.
Transferable
Fully transferable to new homeowners, adding significant resale value to your property. Must be transferred within 60 days of the home sale.

Why Can Only Platinum Contractors Offer This Warranty?
Only the top 1% of roofing contractors in America achieve Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status. Requirements include proven installation excellence, customer satisfaction ratings, ongoing training, and exclusive use of Owens Corning's Total Protection Roofing System. New View Roofing has maintained Platinum status through consistent 5-star performance across 3,500+ projects.
TRU PROtection® Period
All Owens Corning shingles include a 10-year TRU PROtection® period — during which materials and labor for manufacturing defects are covered at full replacement cost with no prorating. After year 10, standard warranties become prorated. With the Platinum Protection Warranty, non-prorated coverage extends up to 50 years on materials and 25 years on workmanship — far beyond what any standard warranty offers.
