Owens Corning: Roofing and Insulation Manufacturers
With our high standard of workmanship at C&M Roofing, we recommend products that uphold these standards. Founded in 1938, Owens Corning is a reliable and innovative supplier of insulation, roofing, and composite materials, with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Their Duration shingles have proven to be the best shingles available for southern Albertan winds, so to offer the best services for our clients, we got certified as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor.
What’s Involved in Being an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor?
Companies need to be invited and approved by Owens Corning to become a Preferred Contractor. They must meet and prove several requirements; for example, the company must be over two years old, have liability insurance, have WCB, and more. Owens Corning also performs background checks and ensures proper liscencing is in place. Additionally, they highly encourage contractors to take their pledge to recycle old shingles, as part of their environmental stewardship efforts.
As a preferred contractor, our customers have peace of mind in knowing they can trust C&M Roofing to properly install Owens Corning shingles. It also means they have access to an extended warranty that’s only available through preferred contractors.
Risks of Hiring an Uncertified Contractor
Hiring an uncertified or unliscenced contractor to install your roofing materials can pose several risks.
Poor Workmanship: An uncertified contractor may not have the necessary skills or training to install the shingles properly. This can lead to poor workmanship, which can result in leaks, damage, or premature wear and tear.
Safety Risks: Installing a new roof can be dangerous work, especially if the contractor is not properly trained or insured. An uncertified contractor may not have the proper safety equipment, which can put the workers and your property at risk.
Lack of Warranty Coverage: If an uncertified contractor installs your shingles, you will not be eligible for the extended warranty that is only available through preferred contractors. This means that you may have to pay out of pocket for any repairs or replacements that are needed due to defects or wind damage.
Potential Legal Issues: If an unlicensed, uninsured contractor causes damage to your property or violates any safety regulations, you may be held liable for any injuries or damages that occur. This can result in costly legal issues that could have been avoided by hiring a certified contractor.
