Owens Corning Contractor in New Bedford, MA | Platinum Preferred Roofing

Experience the difference of working with an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor in New Bedford, MA. Waterman Building & Remodeling has earned Owens Corning's highest contractor certification through years of exceptional workmanship, superior customer service, and unwavering commitment to quality. For New Bedford homeowners from the historic South End to the North End waterfront, this elite status means access to exclusive warranties, premium materials, and installation expertise that protects your home for a lifetime.

What Makes Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Special

Owens Corning awards Platinum Preferred status to less than 1% of roofing contractors nationwide—a distinction that reflects the highest standards in the industry. To achieve this certification, contractors must demonstrate financial stability, maintain proper insurance and licensing, show consistent installation excellence, and deliver outstanding customer satisfaction. For New Bedford homeowners, choosing a Platinum Preferred contractor eliminates risk and ensures your roofing investment receives the care it deserves.

Our Platinum Preferred status grants exclusive access to Owens Corning's complete product line, including limited-edition shingle colors and advanced underlayment systems not available through standard contractors. We receive specialized training on new products and installation techniques before they reach the broader market, ensuring New Bedford homeowners benefit from the latest roofing innovations.

The Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System

As a Platinum Preferred contractor, we install the complete Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System—a fully integrated approach that addresses every layer of your roof. This system begins with high-performance underlayment that creates a secondary water barrier, followed by ice and water shield in vulnerable areas. Proper ventilation components ensure optimal attic airflow, extending shingle life and preventing moisture problems common in Massachusetts homes.

The system's cornerstone is Owens Corning's industry-leading asphalt shingles, available in styles ranging from traditional three-tab to architectural and designer options that transform your home's appearance. Duration® Series shingles feature patented SureNail® technology—a reinforced nailing zone that provides outstanding blow-through resistance against the coastal winds that sweep across Buzzards Bay. For New Bedford's historic homes, we offer colors and profiles that complement traditional architecture while delivering modern performance.

Exclusive Platinum Preferred Warranty

Only Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractors can offer the exclusive Platinum Protection Warranty—providing lifetime coverage on materials and workmanship with non-prorated protection for the first 50 years. This warranty is fully transferable if you sell your New Bedford home, adding significant value and buyer confidence. Standard contractors simply cannot match this level of protection.

Our warranty coverage includes the entire roofing system, not just the shingles. If any component fails due to manufacturing defects or installation errors, Owens Corning covers repair or replacement costs. This comprehensive protection gives New Bedford homeowners peace of mind through every season, from harsh winter nor'easters to summer coastal storms.

Expert Installation for New Bedford's Climate

New Bedford's coastal location creates unique roofing challenges that demand specialized expertise. Salt air accelerates corrosion on inferior materials, while humidity and temperature fluctuations test every component of your roofing system. As a Platinum Preferred contractor, we understand these local conditions and specify materials engineered to withstand them.

Our installation crews follow Owens Corning's strict specifications to the letter, ensuring your warranty remains valid and your roof performs as designed. We use stainless steel fasteners in coastal areas, apply proper starter strips along eaves and rakes, and ensure adequate ventilation that prevents the moisture buildup that can damage historic New Bedford homes from the attic down.
