How Owens Corning Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Owens Corning makes solid shingles, but every product has weak points. After inspecting Owens Corning roofs across Riverside for years, here’s what we find most often:

• Duration Series granule loss. We see this on the older Duration Classic and Duration Premium lines. Riverside’s UV index runs high for most of the year, and combined with our dry heat, granules shed faster than they do in coastal climates. When granules collect in your gutters, the asphalt underneath is exposed and starts drying out. Our fix is a full inspection to map where granule loss is concentrated, then we either spot-repair or quote replacement roof sections depending on how much is left.
• Oakridge Series cracking at the nail line. The Oakridge line is an entry-level architectural shingle that Owens Corning made in huge volumes for production homes in Riverside. Years of thermal cycling – hot days, cold desert nights – cause the shingle to flex at the nail strip until it cracks or tears at the fastener. This is a known weak point on Oakridge. Our inspection pays close attention to every course’s nail line, and if we find it, we don’t patch it – we replace the broken shingles and check the decking beneath for moisture damage.
• SureNail strip failures on steep-pitched Riverside sections. Owens Corning’s SureNail technology is genuinely good, but on steep slopes where installers over-drove nails, the strip separates from the shingle. We see this most on higher-pitch rooflines in Mission Grove and Alessandro Heights. When we inspect, we physically lift shingles on steep sections to check nail placement and strip integrity. The repair is re-fastening with proper depth and backing, which is warranty-safe and lasting.
• Hip and ridge cap blow-offs during Santa Ana winds. Owens Corning hip and ridge caps use a sealant strip that needs proper compression at install. In Riverside, sustained Santa Ana winds of 40 – 60 mph find every cap that wasn’t seated right. We inspect ridge lines on every Owens Corning inspection because that’s the first place wind damage shows. The fix is removing and replacing loose caps with correct pressure and proper overlap.
• Deck rot hidden under flashings on older Owens Corning installs. This isn’t a shingle problem – it’s an install problem. On older Riverside homes where the original roof was Owens Corning and the flashings were never replaced, we find rotted decking behind step flashing and around chimneys. Our inspection checks every flashing point with a moisture meter, not just a visual look. When we find it, we replace the rotted section and install new flashing before any shingle work happens.

Our Owens Corning Roof Inspection Process

Every inspection we do follows the same sequence. You’ll know what’s happening at each stage and what it costs before we start.

1. 1
   Call and schedule. A live person answers when you call (341) 208-3988. We set a two-hour arrival window and stick to it.
2. 2
   Ground-level assessment. Before anyone climbs up, we walk the perimeter and check gutters, downspouts, and visible eaves for granule accumulation or shingle edges lifting.
3. 3
   On-roof examination. Our technician goes up and checks every field of shingles, all flashings, penetrations, ridge lines, and valleys. We lift shingles where we need to check nail placement and underlayment condition.
4. 4
   Attic inspection. We go in the attic and check the decking from underneath with a moisture meter. This is where hidden deck rot shows up that you can’t see from outside.
5. 5
   Written report and pricing. We put findings in writing, with photos, and give you a price for any recommended repairs. That price goes on paper before work starts and does not move at the door.
6. 6
   Repairs (if you want them). If you approve, we schedule the work, use OEM Owens Corning parts where warranty matters or quality aftermarket where it doesn’t, and clean up fully. Every repair comes with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Why Riverside Homeowners Call Brennan Roofing Co Riverside for Owens Corning Work

Riverside homeowners call us because we show up when we say we will, with a written price before anything gets touched, and we back the work in writing. Travis Oakley learned roofing at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent the better part of two decades putting roofs on homes and commercial buildings across the Inland Empire. His crew knows how the heat and Santa Ana winds here test Owens Corning materials in ways coastal jobs don’t.

We operate under the Garrison Standard, which means background-checked uniformed technicians on every job and a 365-Day Done Right Promise: if a repair fails within a year, we come back at no charge. And while we know Owens Corning roofing well, we also install GAF and CertainTeed. That means when a repair calls for a different material, we tell you honestly instead of forcing a brand that isn’t the right fit. A roof should outlast the paperwork, not the other way around.
