Asphalt Shingle Options Built Around What Your Roof Actually Needs
Five Star Homes is proud to install Owens Corning roofing systems for homeowners across Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington; in fact, we've been the roofer Pacific Northwest families call on since 2013. Whether your shingles are aging out, your flashing is failing, or a storm just made the decision for you, a new Owens Corning asphalt shingle roof stops leaks before ceiling damage spreads.
Choosing the Right Shingle Tier
Owens Corning manufactures asphalt shingles across multiple performance tiers, which means you're choosing the level of material grade and warranty coverage that fits your home rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all recommendation. A few things shape that decision:
Budget: A good, better, best structure lets you see pricing tied directly to material grade and warranty coverage.
Warranty Level: Higher-tier Owens Corning shingles carry stronger coverage, which matters more if you plan to stay in the home for the long haul.
Roof Characteristics: Pitch, decking condition, and ventilation all factor into what performs well on your specific structure.
Climate Exposure: Homes in exposed areas benefit from higher-tier shingles built for greater wind resistance and temperature cycling.
We walk you through what each level delivers, then let your priorities drive the decision. Every installer on our crew carries a minimum of seven years of roofing experience, so the recommendation comes from people who've actually seen how each tier holds up on Pacific Northwest roofs.
What Goes Into a Roof Estimate?
Roofing quotes vary because roofs vary. Square footage, pitch, existing decking condition, and the shingle tier you choose all affect pricing, which is why we don't finalize quotes over the phone.
Every estimate starts with an actual inspection. We document what we find and walk through the results with you in person. If decking damage or ventilation work needs to happen alongside the shingle replacement, you'll know about it before signing anything. We tie the Owens Corning tier options directly into pricing so you're comparing real numbers against real options.
Free estimates with no obligation are standard.

Why Portland Homeowners Choose Owens Corning
This region puts roofs through demanding conditions. Wet winters soak everything that isn't sealed properly. Dry summer stretches push temperatures past 90 and occasionally into triple digits. The freeze-thaw cycling in between stresses shingles that aren't engineered for that kind of temperature movement. Add wind exposure, especially in suburban and coastal areas, and material selection becomes a real decision rather than an afterthought.
Owens Corning shingles are engineered with the kind of temperature tolerance and wind resistance that Pacific Northwest roofs need. When we recommend a specific tier during your estimate walkthrough, local climate is part of that conversation alongside what the inspection turned up.

Common Questions About Owens Corning Roofing
An inspection drives that answer. Once we've reviewed your roof's condition, pitch, and ventilation, we’ll walk you through the good, better, best tier options and what each delivers in terms of material grade and warranty coverage. Your budget and how long you plan to stay in the home are part of that conversation, too.
Yes. Square footage, pitch, existing decking condition, and the Owens Corning tier you choose all affect the final number. That's why we don't give binding quotes over the phone. Once we've done the inspection and you've picked a shingle direction, the estimate reflects what the job actually costs for your home.
We back our installations with an ironclad workmanship warranty, and Owens Corning provides product coverage on the shingles themselves. The specific coverage terms depend on the shingle tier you select and are reviewed in detail during your estimate.
Freeze-thaw cycling, seasonal temperature swings, and wind exposure are the main factors we account for when recommending a shingle tier. Portland roofs go through a more severe seasonal cycle than in many markets, and shingle grade affects how the roof holds up over time.
Residential re-roofs in Oregon generally don't require a permit. If you're on the Washington side, or if your project includes structural changes beyond a straight re-roof, we'll let you know during your consultation and handle anything that does need permitting.
