When it comes to your roof, the quality of the materials matters—but so does the quality of the installer. Roofing is a complex system that requires precision, experience, and knowledge of industry standards. That’s why choosing an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor is one of the smartest decisions homeowners in Durham, NC can make. At Rhino Roofing, we take pride in being part of this prestigious network, offering the superior performance, protection, and peace of mind that only a certified contractor can deliver.
What Is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor?
Owens Corning is one of the most respected names in roofing, known for high-performance shingles, cutting-edge technology, and top-tier warranties. To uphold these standards, the company partners with a select group of contractors who meet strict requirements.
Preferred Contractors are vetted and approved by Owens Corning for their:
- Proven track record of customer satisfaction
- Proper licensing and insurance
- Financial stability
- Commitment to ongoing training and best practices
This designation is more than a badge—it’s a mark of trust, performance, and accountability that sets contractors like Rhino Roofing apart from the rest.
Benefits of Hiring a Preferred Contractor
1. Access to Exclusive Product Warranties
One of the top advantages of working with a Preferred Contractor is eligibility for Owens Corning’s extended warranty options. These include:
- System Protection Limited Warranty
- Preferred Protection Roofing System Limited Warranty
- Coverage that includes workmanship for up to 50 years in some cases
These warranties offer far more than basic coverage and ensure that your investment is protected against defects in both materials and labor.
2. Expert Installation by Trained Professionals
Preferred Contractors are trained to install Owens Corning products according to strict manufacturer guidelines. This ensures the roofing system performs as intended—from moisture control to ventilation and shingle application.
Improper installation is one of the leading causes of roofing failures. When you hire Rhino Roofing, you’re getting a team that understands every layer of the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System® and installs it with precision.
