Home renovations can increase curb appeal, comfort, and life expectancy. The roof is a good place to begin. Remodeling magazine’s 2020 Cost-vs. Value Report shows that an asphalt roof can add more value than a mid-range remodel, master bedroom addition, or major kitchen renovation.* The roof can tie together a home’s exterior color scheme, while helping seal the home from nature’s elements, defend against harsh weather and provide balanced attic ventilation to help a home breathe.

These are five important things to remember when replacing a roof.

1. Weather protection: Although extreme weather such as hail, wind, and rain should be managed, a roof provides protection in all weather conditions.

For optimum performance, a high-performing roof system is crucial. Owens Corning Duration® Series shingles are equipped with patented SureNail® Technology and Triple Layer Protection® to protect against shingle loss from high winds. Duration® Series shingles offer a shingle loss warranty for winds up to 130-MPH.??

2. A roof is a system. Roofs are more than just shingles. The Total Protection Roofing System® is a system of products working together to help seal a home from moisture, defend against nature’s elements and help a home breathe with balanced attic ventilation. The roofing system controls airflow and improves energy efficiency and comfort. Owens Corning Roofing Contractor NetworkMembers can assess and adjust attic ventilation to make sure that intake, exhaust and insulation levels are all in sync to manage airflow.

3. 3.) Safe installation and service: Members of the Owens Corning Roofing Contractor NetworkSupport social distancing by using contactless tools such as drone inspections and virtual presentations. Contact is naturally restricted because most roof replacements are done outdoors.

4.) Get inspired. Looking for inspiration? Take a look at the Owens Corning website’s inspirational style boards. Check out the FAQ if you have any questions. ASK CHADResource.

5. 5.) Look to the nature. The beauty of nature can be a source for inspiration in choosing colors. You can find tranquil colors in nature that will help you create a place of refuge from the chaotic world.
