Being an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor is only a dream to most roofers, but a rightful title earned by only a few. Handpicked by one of top roofing manufacturers in America, companies that share this designation stand above the rest for practical reasons.
How does one become an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor? Tittle Brothers Construction explains the exacting criteria a roofing company should have:
Carry Proper Licensing
Owens Corning only certifies licensed roofers. Licensure aims to help you weed out disreputable companies and distinguish reliable ones. This way, you can protect yourself against scams and avoid getting ripped off.
Hold at Least $1M in General Liability Insurance
A roofing contractor must also be insured to pass the Platinum Preferred Contractor program. Adequate insurance ensures you’d be legally compensated in case something bad happens during your project. Plus, it prevents you from being held responsible for the unfortunate incident.
Although Owens Corning only requires a company to carry a minimum of $1M in general liability insurance, Tittle Brothers Construction goes above and beyond. We hold up to $2M in liability coverage and have workers’ compensation insurance.
Be in Good Standing with the Better Business Bureau
Having an impeccable record with the BBB is another non-negotiable requirement. A company with an A rating with the BBB, like us, resolves any customer complaint in a satisfactory manner. Even the best contractors make mistakes sometimes, but not all could handle situations properly. Only upright ones would do every effort to settle disputes the right way.
Pass the Dun and Bradstreet Credit Analysis
Owens Corning partners with Dun and Bradstreet for risk assessment. By undergoing and passing a Dun and Bradstreet credit rating, roofers prove they’re worth doing business with.
Operate under the Same Business Name for Three Years
Local companies that regularly changes their business name echoes bad reputation. They’re generally guilty of sketchy practices, reinventing themselves every now and then to fly under the government’s radar. On the other hand, roofing contractors that maintain the same identity for a long period have nothing to hide.
Have Never Filed Bankruptcy in Seven Years
A bankruptcy is often a red flag. It means the company is badly run, struggling to pay off its debts. Owens Corning denies financially unstable applicants to its Platinum Preferred Contractor Network, helping you hire a company that could confidently perform its professional duties.
Nail the Installation Workmanship Inspection
Owens Corning doesn’t approve a contractor it has never seen in action. Roofers must meet the brand’s high proficiency standards to ensure flawless work all the time.
Clearly, an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor has to go through the eye of the needle to gain and retain its status.
