What Is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor?
The Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor designation is the highest level of certification available in the Owens Corning Roofing Contractor Network. Only a select few roofing companies in each market earn this elite status, which requires meeting rigorous standards for professionalism, customer satisfaction, licensing, insurance, and installation quality.
Weatherguard Construction has earned and maintained Platinum Preferred status through years of consistent excellence, ongoing training, and a proven track record of customer satisfaction in Illinois and beyond. This certification gives our customers access to the strongest warranty programs Owens Corning offers.
Why Platinum Preferred Status Matters for Your Roof
Choosing a Platinum Preferred Contractor for your Owens Corning roofing project provides several important advantages:
- Enhanced Warranty Coverage: Only Platinum Preferred Contractors can offer the Owens Corning Platinum Protection Limited Warranty, which covers materials AND workmanship for an extended period — including the first 10 years of non-prorated coverage through the TRU PROtection Period.
- Verified Excellence: Owens Corning independently verifies that Platinum Preferred Contractors maintain proper licensing, insurance, and business practices. They also monitor customer reviews and satisfaction scores.
- Factory-Trained Installation: Our crews receive ongoing training directly from Owens Corning on proper installation techniques, ensuring your roof performs to its full potential and your warranty remains valid.
- Preferred Material Access: We have direct access to the complete Owens Corning product line including Duration, Duration Designer, and Duration FLEX shingles, as well as their complete roofing system components.

Owens Corning Warranty Programs
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a Platinum Preferred Contractor is access to Owens Corning's strongest warranty programs. These warranties go far beyond the standard manufacturer product warranty available through non-certified installers:
Platinum Protection Limited Warranty: This top-tier warranty covers both Owens Corning materials AND Weatherguard's workmanship. Key features include a lifetime limited material warranty, 25-year workmanship coverage, 10-year non-prorated TRU PROtection Period, and wind damage coverage up to 130 MPH. This warranty is available exclusively through Platinum Preferred Contractors.
System Advantage Limited Warranty: When we install the complete Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System (shingles, underlayment, hip and ridge, ventilation, and accessories), your coverage is enhanced with component-to-component protection and streamlined claims processing.
