Owens Corning built the Duration family around a reinforced fabric strip across the nailing zone. In practice it gives the crew a wider target to hit, and a fastener that lands in that strip holds better. On a windy Gulf-adjacent roof, that detail is not marketing.
Availability moves with the market. We confirm the exact line, color, and written warranty in your proposal before anything is ordered.
The core architectural shingle and the one we quote most from this brand. Strong color depth and the reinforced nailing strip.
Core lineRubberized (SBS-modified) and impact-rated. The one to price if hail is your main worry.
Impact-ratedThe same platform in a wider, bolder color range for homes that want a specific look.
DesignerA luxury shingle with a cut slate profile and heavier weight.
LuxuryEntry-level architectural. A step up from 3-tab without the full Duration price.
Entry architecturalThe 3-tab option — flat profile, lowest cost in the line.
Value / 3-tabThe reinforced strip means a fastener slightly off the mark still lands in reinforced material. Fewer weak points across a whole roof.
The Duration blends read with more variation on a large roof plane, which keeps big simple roofs from looking flat.
Duration FLEX lets you step up to impact-rated without changing the look you already picked.
A free, documented inspection tells us the pitch, layers, decking condition, and ventilation you're starting from.
We show you two or three realistic lines side by side — what each costs, and what the difference actually buys.
You see physical samples in daylight against your own brick, and we check any HOA requirement before ordering.
We install to the manufacturer's specification and hand you the written manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Real, but modest, and it only matters if the crew nails in the right zone to begin with. It widens the margin for error; it does not replace a careful install.
FLEX if hail is your concern or your carrier prices impact-rated roofs better. Standard Duration otherwise — we'll quote both so the difference is a number, not an opinion.
Usually. We identify the line and color during the inspection and tell you honestly whether the current palette still contains it.
Manufacturer names, logos, and product names are trademarks of their respective owners and appear here only to identify the products we install. Their use does not imply affiliation with, endorsement by, or certification from any manufacturer.
