OWENS CORNING PREFERRED
WHAT THIS CERTIFICATION
ACTUALLY MEANS.
Most roofing contractors in Northeast Ohio are not Owens Corning certified. They can buy Owens Corning shingles. Anyone can. But they cannot offer the enhanced warranty tiers, and they have not been vetted against OC's standards for insurance, licensing, and installation quality.
4K Roofing earned Preferred Contractor status by meeting requirements most local roofers cannot satisfy. That certification applies to every roof we install and directly affects what your warranty covers.
There are two ways a roof fails: the materials fail, or the installation fails. Standard warranties only cover the first. As an OC Preferred Contractor, we can offer coverage that protects against both. As a Preferred Contractor, 4K also holds the Top of the House certification and the Shingle Recycling Pledge. Most contractors only carry one OC credential. We carry three.
THE REQUIREMENTS
WHAT IT TAKES TO EARN
PREFERRED STATUS.
Owens Corning does not hand this certification out. Preferred Contractors must meet and maintain specific standards. Those standards protect you when you hire one.
🛡️
General Liability Insurance
Owens Corning requires Preferred Contractors to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in general liability insurance. Many contractors operating in Northeast Ohio after a storm carry far less. If something goes wrong on the job, coverage matters.
🏗️
Installation Standards
Preferred Contractors are trained directly on Owens Corning product installation: shingles, underlayment, ventilation, and flashing installed to manufacturer specs. This is what keeps warranties valid when you need them.
📋
BBB Standing
Preferred Contractors must maintain good standing with the Better Business Bureau. 4K holds a BBB A+ rating. That standing is a condition of keeping the certification, not a bonus added on top of it.
✅
Ongoing Accountability
Owens Corning conducts random job site inspections of Preferred Contractors. The certification is not a one-time award. 4K maintains it by doing the work right on every job, not just the ones that might get inspected.
4K'S OWENS CORNING CREDENTIALS
THREE CERTIFICATIONS.
ONE CONTRACTOR.
Most Owens Corning Preferred Contractors hold one badge. 4K holds three. Each one means something specific for how your job gets handled.
🏆
Owens Corning
Preferred Contractor
Earned through verified insurance, licensing, BBB standing, and Owens Corning installation training. Allows 4K to offer warranty tiers that uncertified contractors cannot. Every install is backed by Owens Cornings' direct oversight of our work.
Unlocks: System Protection + Preferred Protection Warranties
🏠
Top of the House
Certified
Owen Cornings' certification for contractors trained on the full roofing system: shingles, ventilation, and attic insulation together. Poor attic ventilation is the leading cause of premature roof failure. We assess all three on every job.
Covers: Roofing + Ventilation + Attic Insulation System
♻️
Shingle Recycling Pledge
4K has taken the Owens Corning Shingle Recycling Pledge. The old shingles removed from your roof are recycled through OC's program, not sent to a landfill. Northeast Ohio generates significant tear-off volume every storm season.
Commitment: Zero Landfill Tear-Off Disposal
WHY IT MATTERS
CERTIFICATION MATTERS IN
NORTHEAST OHIO.
After a major hail or wind event, Northeast Ohio gets flooded with out-of-area contractors. Most are not certified by any manufacturer. They install shingles without meeting the specs that keep warranties valid, then they leave before any issues surface. 4K Roofing is a Medina County company. We have been here for over 15 years.
01
Your warranty depends on who installs it
An uncertified contractor can put OC shingles on your house and void the workmanship coverage before you ever have a problem. Preferred Contractor status is what keeps your warranty valid.
02
We register your warranty before we leave
Many contractors skip the registration step. Homeowners find out it was missed when they file a claim. 4K registers every warranty with OC on the day of install.
03
The full system, not just the shingles
As Top of the House certified, we assess roofing, ventilation, and attic insulation together on every job. That is what separates a 10-year roof from a 30-year roof in Ohio.
WARRANTY COVERAGE
WHAT THE PREFERRED
CERTIFICATION UNLOCKS
Standard OC warranties cover material defects. Preferred Contractor status unlocks two additional tiers that extend coverage to the installation itself.
01
🛡️
Standard Protection
Available through any contractor. Covers manufacturing defects in OC shingles for the lifetime of the roof. Does not cover installation errors.
02
🔒
System Protection
Available through OC Preferred Contractors. Requires four qualifying OC components. Extends non-prorated coverage and adds wind resistance up to 130 mph.
03
🏆
Preferred Protection
Adds 10 years of workmanship coverage. If the roof fails due to an installation error, both labor and materials are covered. Transfers to a new homeowner within 60 days of a real estate sale.
04
📋
Warranty Registration
4K registers your warranty with OC before we leave and provides documentation the same day. Many contractors skip this step. You will not find out it was skipped until you need to file a claim.
COMMON QUESTIONS
OWENS CORNING PREFERRED,
ANSWERED.
What is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor?
An OC Preferred Contractor is a roofing company vetted by Owens Corning against specific standards for general liability insurance, licensing, BBB standing, and installation training. The certification allows the contractor to offer enhanced warranty tiers that uncertified contractors cannot provide.
What warranty can 4K offer as a Preferred Contractor?
As a Preferred Contractor, 4K can offer the System Protection and Preferred Protection warranty tiers. Preferred Protection adds 10 years of workmanship coverage on top of the standard material warranty, covering installation errors as well as product defects. It transfers to a new homeowner within 60 days of a real estate transfer. 4K registers the warranty with OC before closing out every job.
What does Top of the House Certified mean?
Top of the House Certified means 4K has completed OC's certification for full roofing system training: shingles, ventilation, and attic insulation together. Poor attic ventilation is the leading cause of premature roof failure. We assess all three components on every job.
What is the Shingle Recycling Pledge?
4K has committed to recycling tear-off shingles through Owens Corning's program rather than sending them to a landfill. When old shingles come off your roof, they are recycled. Northeast Ohio generates significant tear-off volume every storm season. This is 4K's commitment on how we handle it.
Does Preferred Contractor status cost the homeowner more?
No. The certification affects what warranty options are available, not the base cost of the install. The Preferred Protection warranty tier carries a small additional cost, but the base installation price is not affected by contractor certification status.
How do I know my warranty will be registered?
4K registers your warranty with Owens Corning before we close out the job and leaves you the documentation the same day. Many contractors skip this step. You find out it was missed when you file a claim and OC has no record of the install. We handle it as a standard part of every job.
