Owens Corning Duration Brownwood Roof Installation in Greenville SC

South Carolina weather is no joke. Hail, heavy wind, afternoon storms - your roof takes the hit every single time. That's exactly why material choice matters more than most homeowners realize. For this Greenville residential roof installation, we went with Owens Corning Duration shingles in Brownwood. It's a sharp color, but more importantly, it's built to perform.

The Duration line carries a Class 3 impact rating and holds up to 130 mph wind. For homeowners in the Upstate, that's not a nice-to-have - it's genuinely useful protection. And here's something worth knowing: this shingle qualifies for a discount on your homeowner's insurance premium. That's real money back in your pocket just for choosing a better product.

What you don't always see is what goes on underneath. Before a single shingle goes down, we run ice and water barrier at the eaves, through every valley, and around all penetrations. That's our standard - not an upgrade. It's the layer between your decking and any water that finds its way past the shingles. A lot of crews skip it or only use it where code requires. We use it everywhere it counts.

The underlayment we use is a premium synthetic product - you can see the bright blue SecureCap material laid across the full deck during installation. It's tougher and more water-resistant than standard felt, and it keeps the deck protected during the install process itself. Every detail from the deck up is intentional. That's what a proper new roof installation looks like.

This is the kind of work we do on every residential roofing job we take on in Greenville and across the surrounding area. No shortcuts in the system, no cutting corners on materials. If you've been thinking about a roof replacement, we're happy to walk you through what the right setup looks like for your home.
