Proper planning and knowing what you want can head off a lot of potential problems and delays - whether
you need a new roof or just some repairs. Let's look at common considerations in new roof projects and
significant roof repair.
Consider your performance needs

Durability, expected life span, and resistance to wind and algae growth are all important considerations
in the selection of your new shingles. Your climate - annual rainfall, relative humidity, typical wind
conditions and storms, etc. - impacts the importance of these features.
Each Owens Corning shingle series and collection states its rating for wind resistance and algae
resistance. Owens Corning shingle warranties range from 20-, 25- and 30-year terms to limited lifetime
terms. To learn more about Owens Corning's roofing warranties, click here.

Design a look you'll love.
This is going to be a beautiful decision. Shopping for new shingles is the perfect
opportunity to increase the curb appeal of your entire home. Your roof can make up more than half of your
home's exterior so it should complement your home's style and exterior color scheme.

- Should you choose a different color? Consider the look of your home's exterior. A
new shingle color could bring your look together. Or even inspire a new palette.
- Have you seen the granules? Owens Corning shingles get their rich color from a
combination of colored granules. Using the colors of these granules, you can coordinate all of your
home's exterior elements - the paint, siding, brick or stone.
- Do you need more dimension? If your home's exterior is monochromatic, think about
adding shingles that appear thicker and give your roof a rich, textured look. For homes that already
have a detailed exterior, you could choose softer, more muted shingles. Owens Corning offers a variety
of roofing shingles that carry a unique combination of these characteristics.
