Owens Corning Duration FLEX

What This Service Involves

Duration FLEX enhances the Duration platform with SBS-modified asphalt, giving the shingle rubber-like flexibility that helps it absorb impacts. Rated Class 4, it resists cracking from hail and falling debris, a real benefit under the tall trees common across Puget Sound. It keeps the SureNail reinforced nailing zone for strong fastening and wind performance. Because of its impact rating, it may support insurance premium considerations depending on the policy. It suits homeowners in wooded or storm-exposed settings who want premium durability.

Benefits

SBS polymer construction for flexibility and impact absorption; Class 4 rating resisting hail and debris damage; SureNail reinforced nailing zone for secure fastening; May qualify for insurance premium considerations; Ideal for wooded, storm-exposed PNW properties

Our Process

1) Remove old roofing and assess the deck for moisture and rot; 2) Install ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment at vulnerable areas; 3) Fasten the SBS-modified FLEX shingles through the SureNail strip for impact performance; 4) Cap ridges and seal all flashings and penetrations

What Affects the Cost

Roof size, pitch, and layout complexity; Impact-resistant SBS shingles cost more than standard laminate; Deck repairs uncovered at tear-off; Tree cover and storm exposure driving the upgrade; Documentation for potential insurance considerations
