Shingles, warranties and what Owens Corning Preferred means

As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Westside Developers has met Owens Corning requirements for insurance, licensing where applicable, and established business experience. This designation also allows us to offer enhanced Owens Corning roofing system warranty options when qualifying products are installed as part of a complete roofing system.

We primarily install Owens Corning architectural shingles, including the popular TruDefinition® Duration® line. We can also install shingles from other leading manufacturers when requested or when another product is better suited to the project.

Westside Developers also provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on our roofing installations, in addition to the manufacturer's warranty on the roofing products.

How a roofing project works

  1. Free on-site estimate. We evaluate the roof, including the condition of the shingles, flashing, ventilation and other visible problem areas.
  2. Written proposal. You receive a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, materials and price. Payment terms are determined based on the size and scope of the project.
  3. Materials and scheduling. Materials are ordered and delivered, and your project is scheduled with weather conditions in mind.
  4. Installation. Most roof installations take one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the project and weather conditions. Areas that are torn off are protected from the weather before the crew leaves for the day.
  5. Cleanup and completion. We remove roofing debris and clean the work area, including a magnetic nail sweep.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Yes. Westside Developers can inspect your roof for visible storm damage, document problem areas, and provide a written estimate that you can submit to your insurance company.
