Minnesota Roofing Contractor: Owens Corning Installation & Repair
Roof replacement, storm repair, and inspections from an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor. Your first inspection is free.
A Safe Home Starts at the Top
Your roof takes the first hit from hail, high wind, and the freeze-thaw swings of a Minnesota winter. It has to shed water, keep its shingles down in a storm, and let your attic breathe. As a roofing contractor serving Minnesota since 2009, Advantage Construction builds every roof to that standard, from storm repairs to full replacements.

Why We Build on Owens Corning
Owens Corning is the brand we install most and the one we recommend first. This American company pioneered fiberglass shingles, has led roofing innovation for more than 70 years, and makes shingles right here in Minneapolis. Homeowners also trust it three times more than other shingle brands. We’re an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor and a “Top of the House” Certified Installer, so our crews are trained on the whole roof system, not just the shingles. Proper ventilation also pairs well with attic insulation for a more comfortable, efficient home.
What Sets an Owens Corning Roof Apart
| One System, Three Jobs | Built to Stay Put in High Wind | Class 4 Options for Hail | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System is designed to seal, defend, and breathe. Because every layer works together, there are fewer weak points where a roof typically fails.
✓ Underlayment and ice and water barrier seal out moisture ✓ Shingles defend against wind and weather ✓ Balanced ventilation releases heat and humidity |
Duration® Series Shingles are the first and only shingles with an engineered woven-fabric nailing strip on the front, called SureNail Technology. The strip gives our crews a highly visible nailing zone, so every nail lands where it should.
✓ Clear, no-guess nailing zone ✓ 130-mph wind resistance limited warranty ✓ 25-year StreakGuard algae resistance* |
For homes that see regular hail, Duration STORM and Duration FLEX shingles offer one of the industry’s highest impact ratings.
✓ UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating ✓ FLEX: SBS flexibility for cold-weather installs ✓ May qualify for a homeowners insurance discount |
|
*Algae resistance coverage requires qualifying Owens Corning hip and ridge shingles. See the actual warranty for complete details, limitations, and requirements.

See Your Roof Colors Before We Start
Choosing a shingle color is easier when you can see it on a house. We recommend starting with Owens Corning’s Design EyeQ tool, which lets you preview the same Owens Corning shingle colors and styles we install most. If you’d like to compare other brands, the GAF and CertainTeed tools below work the same way.
Owens Corning Warranties
Our Platinum Preferred status lets us offer the Platinum Protection Limited Warranty, the top tier of Owens Corning’s warranty lineup. Only Owens Corning Platinum contractors can register it. On a qualifying roof, it includes:
- A 50-year TRU PROtection non-prorated period on shingles and Owens Corning components, including tear-off and disposal costs if required
- Workmanship coverage backed by Owens Corning, lifetime with coverage reduced after 25 years based on the age of the roof
- 15 years of blow-off coverage
- 25-year StreakGuard algae resistance coverage with qualifying hip and ridge shingles
A qualifying roof uses at least four Owens Corning components, including hip and ridge shingles and underlayment. Owens Corning also keeps the paperwork simple, with a straightforward process to register, transfer, or file a claim, and extended warranties from Platinum and Preferred contractors may be supported by post-job walk inspections from Owens Corning Field Technical Specialists. We’ll walk you through which warranty fits your roof before you sign anything. Compare all Owens Corning warranties.

Other Roofing Options
Owens Corning asphalt shingles suit most Minnesota homes, but not every one. When your style or roofline calls for something different, we also install metal roofing and cedar shakes.
| Metal Roofing | Cedar Shakes | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A long-lasting, low-maintenance choice with strong fire resistance, available in a range of colors and profiles to match modern or traditional homes.
✓ Long service life ✓ Low maintenance ✓ Strong fire resistance |
Cedar gives a home a warm, natural look that asphalt can’t fully copy. Shakes come in several sizes and finishes and need periodic sealing to keep their color and weather resistance.
✓ Natural, textured look ✓ Several sizes and finishes ✓ Periodic sealing required |

Our Roof Installation and Repair Process
A good roof depends as much on how it’s installed as on what’s installed. Every project, large or small, follows the same four steps so nothing gets skipped.
1. PROTECTING YOUR HOME
Before the tear-off starts, we cover landscaping, siding, windows, and doors with tarps and barriers to keep debris contained.
2. REMOVAL AND DECK INSPECTION
We strip the roof down to the wood decking and check it for rot or damage. Any problem areas are repaired before new materials go on.
3. PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
We install the layers your roof needs, such as drip edge and ice-and-water barrier, and explain each choice as we go.
4. INSTALLING YOUR NEW ROOF
Shingles, hip and ridge, and ventilation go on to Owens Corning’s specifications, which keep your roof eligible for its warranty coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Owens Corning is the brand we install most, so our crews know its products and installation requirements inside and out. Our Platinum Preferred status lets us register its top warranty tier, which only Platinum contractors can offer, and Owens Corning makes its own asphalt and fiberglass mat, which helps keep quality consistent and materials in supply. It has also been named America’s Most Recommended shingle manufacturer by the Women’s Choice Award for nine straight years.
It’s the only Owens Corning tier with lifetime workmanship coverage, reduced after 25 years based on the age of the roof. It also includes a 50-year non-prorated period that covers tear-off and disposal if needed, and it must be installed by an Owens Corning Platinum contractor.
If your area sees regular hail, they’re worth a serious look. Duration STORM and Duration FLEX shingles carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, and some insurers offer a premium discount for Class 4 roofs. If hail has already damaged your roof, our insurance claims assistance team can help you through the process.
Yes. Owens Corning’s workmanship coverage applies only when a certified Owens Corning contractor installs the roof, and the Platinum Protection tier requires a Platinum contractor. A roof installed by an uncertified crew typically carries material coverage only.
