What does "Limited Lifetime" Actually Mean?

As an owner of a single family detached home, lifetime coverage means that your warranty is in effect for manufacturing defects as long as you own your home. The length of coverage is reduced for non-single family or commercial structures.

What is the "Tru PROtection" Period?Each warranty starts with a TRU PROtection® Period during the initial years where coverage includes labor cost to repair/replace defective materials. The specific length of the TRU PROtection® period varies by type of warranty and shingle installed. Please refer to the warranty table for the shingle you are considering.

What Labor is Covered Under This Warranty?

The shingle warranty covers only the materials and labor cost to replace the shingles if there is a defect. While the shingle warranty doesn't cover labor costs from improper installation, Rivertop Roofing offers a quality guarantee that the roof will be installed correctly.

Owens Corning Roofing Systems for Dallas Homes

Owens Corning designs complete roofing systems rather than individual products. A roofing system works together to protect your home from water intrusion, wind-driven rain, and heat buildup, all of which are common concerns in Dallas.

A typical Owens Corning roofing system installed by Rivertop Roofing may include:

• Ice and water barrier in vulnerable areas

• Synthetic underlayment

• Starter shingles

• Field shingles

• Hip and ridge shingles

• Proper attic ventilation components

Installing a complete Owens Corning roofing system is also a key requirement for qualifying for enhanced warranty coverage.

The shingles on your roof are only one part of a more elaborate system that keeps your home dry, and temperature controlled.

• Curb appeal and resale plans

Rivertop Roofing helps Dallas homeowners evaluate these factors and select the right Owens Corning shingle and warranty combination for their specific needs.

Why Roofing Quality Matters in Dallas, TX

Roofing systems on homes in Dallas face challenges that many parts of the country do not. Extreme summer heat, frequent hailstorms, straight-line winds, and seasonal thunderstorms all take a toll on roofing materials. Before you hire a roofing contractor in Dallas, you also need to understand the differences in materials and warranties available to you from different companies.

Builder grade shingles are often selected for cost savings rather than performance. While they may meet minimum requirements, they are not designed for long-term durability in North Texas weather conditions. Over time, these shingles are more likely to experience premature aging, granule loss, cracking, and wind damage.

Owens Corning shingles are engineered to perform in demanding climates like Dallas. When paired with proper installation and a complete roofing system, they provide stronger protection and more meaningful warranty coverage for homeowners throughout the DFW area.

Final Thoughts for Dallas Homeowners Considering Roof Replacement

A roof in Dallas is a long-term investment, and builder grade materials often fall short in North Texas conditions. By choosing Owens Corning shingles installed by Rivertop Roofing, homeowners receive higher-quality materials, professional installation, and access to industry-leading warranty protection.

From Supreme to Oakridge to Duration shingles, Rivertop Roofing installs Owens Corning products because they perform reliably in Dallas weather and provide meaningful long-term value. Combined with enhanced warranty options, this approach gives homeowners clarity, confidence, and lasting protection.
