How Owens Corning Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
- Duration Series granule loss. San Jose’s summer sun bakes shingle surfaces for months at a stretch, and on older Owens Corning Duration installations we regularly see heavy granule shedding along the south and west roof planes. Once the granule layer thins, the asphalt underneath oxidizes and the shingle shrinks, which pulls fasteners loose. We fix the section, but we’ll also tell you honestly if the whole plane is within a few years of replacement.
- Oakridge Series lifting at the nail line. On homes near the Alameda and Rose Garden neighborhoods, we see Oakridge shingles lifting along the seal strip. The cause is usually the same: the sealant never cured because the roof was installed in cool damp conditions, or the roofer nailed high and the shingle isn’t seated flat. We reseal where possible, but if the mat is cracked, replacement is the only honest fix.
- VentSure ridge vent separation. Owens Corning VentSure ridge vents can pull away from the ridge line after years of thermal expansion and contraction, and that gap is an open invitation for water and roof rats. We see it often in Willow Glen on homes with low-slope hip roofs. We reseat or replace the vent and reseal the ridge.
- Flashings failing before shingles. It’s not always the shingle. On Owens Corning tear-offs in San Jose, the common story is a rusted pipe jack or a step flashing that pulled loose behind a stucco wall, and the water traveled under otherwise healthy shingles. We replace the flashing, not the roof, when the shingles still have life left.
- Decking rot under older Durham shingles. Older three-tab Owens Corning products with lost granules let water sit on the plywood decking, and that rots the decking from the top down. When we open up a repair in the Cambrian area on a Durham-style roof, we often find the decking needs replacement before any new shingle can go down. That’s exactly why the written price matters: you know the decking number before we lift the first shingle.

- 1
Call and talk to a person. You reach us at (669) 238-2101, describe what you’re seeing, and we’ll tell you what it likely means before we ever show up. Travis Oakley’s standing rule is simple: “Tell me what you’re seeing and I’ll tell you what it actually means.”
- 2
On-site inspection and photos. We get on the roof, document what we find, and walk you through it. You see what we see.
- 3
Written price before any work starts. You get a line-item number on paper. That number does not move at the door. No exceptions.
- 4
The repair or replacement decision. We tell you whether the roof section can be repaired or honestly needs replacement, and we explain OEM versus quality aftermarket options without pushing either one.
- 5
The work, done by background-checked uniformed technicians. We do the repair or replacement, protect your landscaping, and clean up the job site the same day.
- 6
Written guarantee and follow-up. Every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, for one full year. If it fails, we come back at no charge.

FAQs
No. As an independent Owens Corning service provider, our repairs don’t affect the manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles themselves. What we always preserve is the proper installation method, and we’ll flag any issue that could become a warranty claim before we touch anything.
Yes, in most cases. Owens Corning still produces most popular Duration and Oakridge colors, and we keep samples from current lines. If your color has been discontinued, we’ll tell you before any work starts and show you the closest available match. Call (669) 238-2101 and we’ll check your specific color.
Most Owens Corning repairs are scheduled within a few days of your call, and we’ll give you a specific window in writing. For active leaks, we’ll typically get someone out faster. The estimate is always free and the price is always on paper before work starts.
If the shingles are under 10 years old and the failure is localized, repair usually makes sense. If you’re seeing granule loss across multiple planes, lifting at the nail lines, or decking rot underneath, replacement is often the honest call. We’ll show you the photos and explain the numbers either way.
No. The Garrison Standard means the written price doesn’t move at the door. If we open a section and find something new, we stop and bring you a separate written number for the additional work before we touch it. You always decide with the full picture in front of you.
