We have some big news to share, and it belongs to every Texas homeowner who has trusted us with their roof. Ruff Roofing has received the 2026 Owens Corning Top Performer Platinum Warranty Award for the southwest Texas region.
To the more than 3,000 families who have let us replace their roofs, and the 553+ who took the time to leave us a five-star review: thank you. This award is really about you. Here's what it means, and why it matters if you're planning a roof replacement in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin or San Antonio.
What Is the Owens Corning Top Performer Platinum Warranty Award?
Owens Corning is one of the largest roofing manufacturers in North America. Only contractors who reach its top tier, Platinum Preferred Contractor, can offer its strongest roof warranty, called Platinum Protection.
Each year, Owens Corning recognizes the Platinum Preferred Contractors who put the most homeowners under that warranty. This year's awards were presented at the Owens Corning Platinum Conference, held March 9–11, 2026, in San Antonio, and Ruff Roofing was one of just five contractors across North America to receive the Platinum Warranty honor.
In plain terms: Ruff Roofing is one of the contractors putting the most homeowners under Owens Corning's strongest roof warranty.
What the Platinum Protection Warranty Covers for Your Home
Most roof warranties cover the shingles and nothing else. If an installation mistake causes a leak, you're left depending on the roofer who made it. Platinum Protection is different, because it covers both the materials and the workmanship, and Owens Corning stands behind it, not just the contractor. On a qualifying Owens Corning roof, you get:
- 50 years of non-prorated material coverage, including tear-off and disposal if a repair calls for it
- Lifetime workmanship coverage, with full coverage for the first 25 years
- 15 years of blow-off protection and 25 years of algae-streak resistance
- A transferable warranty that can add value when you sell your home
Owens Corning sets the full terms and limitations, and we're happy to walk you through them during your inspection.
Why We Build With the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System
We believe Owens Corning makes the best roofs a Texas homeowner can buy, and the reason goes beyond the shingles. A roof is a system, and every layer has a job. Owens Corning's Total Protection Roofing System is built around three:
- Seal: An ice and water barrier and synthetic underlayment create a waterproof layer over your roof deck, your last line of defense if wind-driven rain gets under the shingles.
- Defend: Starter shingles lock down the edges, Duration shingles with SureNail Technology cover the main surface with wind resistance rated up to 130 mph under Owens Corning's high-wind installation, and hip and ridge shingles finish the peaks.
- Breathe: Intake and exhaust vents keep air moving through your attic, releasing the heat and moisture that shorten a roof's life.
That matters here. Texas roofs take Gulf Coast storms, heavy rain and long, brutal summers. When the full system is installed by a Platinum Preferred Contractor, your entire roof qualifies for Platinum Protection coverage, and that is the standard we build to on our residential roofing projects.
What This Means When You're Choosing a Roofer
A new roof is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your home. Before you sign with anyone, it's worth asking three questions:
- Are they an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor?
Only Platinum Preferred roofers can register the Platinum Protection warranty. - Is the workmanship backed by the manufacturer, or only by the roofer?
If the company closes or moves on, a contractor-only warranty can disappear with it. - What do their past customers say?
Reviews tell you how a company handles the job after the contract is signed.
We're proud of our answers: Platinum Preferred, manufacturer-backed workmanship coverage, more than 3,000 roofs completed and over 553 five-star reviews from homeowners across Texas. As we like to say, we build relationships, not just roofs. Learn more about our team.
