Understanding the Owens Corning Platinum Protection Warranty
When investing in a new roof, homeowners often focus on materials, color, or style. But one of the most important — and often overlooked — factors is the warranty. A strong warranty protects your home, your finances, and your peace of mind for decades to come.
Among the strongest warranties in the industry is the Owens Corning Platinum Protection Roofing System Limited Warranty. Available only through Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractors, this warranty offers coverage that goes far beyond standard options.
What Makes the Platinum Warranty Different?
Most roofing warranties cover shingles against manufacturing defects, but they don’t cover one of the most common causes of roof problems: workmanship errors. The Platinum Preferred Warranty is unique because it covers both materials and installation workmanship — offering homeowners complete protection.
Here’s what it includes:
- Lifetime Coverage on Materials
- Owens Corning shingles are protected for as long as you own your home.
- Covers manufacturing defects that could lead to leaks or performance issues.
- 50 Years of Non-Prorated Protection
- For the first 50 years, both materials and labor are fully covered.
- Unlike standard warranties that reduce coverage after 10 years, the Platinum Warranty keeps you protected without depreciation.
- Workmanship Guarantee
- If your roof has issues due to improper installation, Owens Corning covers it — even if the original contractor is no longer in business.
- This is one of the most valuable parts of the warranty, as installation errors are a leading cause of roofing failures.
- Transferable Warranty
- Can be transferred once to a new homeowner within the first 20 years.
- Increases resale value by giving buyers confidence in the roof’s long-term performance.
- Backed by Owens Corning
- Both workmanship and material coverage are backed directly by Owens Corning, a trusted name in roofing for decades.
- Homeowners work directly with Owens Corning if an issue arises.
Why It Matters for Homeowners
Your roof is one of the biggest investments in your home. The Owens Corning Platinum Protection Warranty ensures that investment is safe — not just against defective products, but also against errors in installation. That means fewer worries, fewer surprises, and long-term confidence in your roof.
The Bottom Line
When you choose an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, you’re not only choosing expert installers — you’re also unlocking the most powerful warranty Owens Corning offers. With lifetime material coverage, 50 years of non-prorated protection, and full workmanship backing, the Platinum Protection Warranty sets the standard for peace of mind in roofing.
If you’re considering a new roof, make sure to ask about the Platinum Preferred Warranty. It’s more than a piece of paper — it’s lasting protection for your home and family.
The GAF Golden Pledge Warranty: Ultimate Protection for Your Roof
When it comes to replacing your roof, the materials and the installer you choose are critical — but just as important is the warranty protecting your investment. A strong warranty ensures your roof is covered against defects, installation errors, and unexpected issues that could cost thousands to fix.
One of the most powerful warranties in the roofing industry is the GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty. Offered exclusively through GAF Master Elite® contractors, it delivers unmatched peace of mind for homeowners who want the best protection available.
What Is the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty?
The Golden Pledge Warranty is GAF’s highest level of warranty coverage. Unlike standard warranties that only cover materials, the Golden Pledge protects you against both manufacturing defects and installation workmanship errors — giving homeowners total confidence in their roof system.
Key Features of the Golden Pledge Warranty

Why the Golden Pledge Matters
Most roofing warranties only cover defective shingles — but the Golden Pledge goes further by including installation workmanship. This means if a leak develops due to improper installation, GAF will cover the repair costs. That kind of coverage is rare in the roofing industry.
It’s also important to note that the Golden Pledge is only available through GAF Master Elite® Contractors, a distinction earned by less than 2% of roofing companies nationwide. Choosing a contractor with this status ensures your roof is installed by certified experts.
