Why This Product

What Makes Duration Storm The Right Choice For Storm-Prone Areas

Duration Storm is built specifically for markets where hail isn't a rare event but a recurring seasonal reality. Its Class 4 impact resistance gives it the highest available protection against hail damage, and WeatherGuard Technology adds an extra layer of wind and weather resistance beyond standard SureNail construction. For homeowners filing an insurance claim after storm damage, Duration Storm is also the OC product most likely to qualify for a carrier's Class 4 premium discount.

Why Duration Storm Is Built For This Market

The September 24, 2023 hailstorm caused an estimated $600 million in combined damage across Travis and Williamson Counties according to the National Weather Service. (Source) Duration Storm's Class 4 rating is the asphalt shingle specification most directly matched to that level of recurring storm exposure, which is why it's the most commonly recommended product for insurance replacement scenarios Ark handles.

Why The Contractor You Choose Affects Your Warranty

Not every roofer who installs Owens Corning products can offer the same warranty coverage. Owens Corning reserves its strongest warranty options for Platinum Preferred contractors, a designation held by a small percentage of roofers nationally and requiring ongoing performance and customer satisfaction standards most contractors never meet.

As a Platinum Preferred contractor since 2019, Ark is authorized to offer Owens Corning's Platinum Protection warranty on qualifying installations, extending coverage to both materials and labor for up to 50 years. A non-Platinum contractor installing the exact same shingle cannot offer that same level of coverage, regardless of installation quality.

The shingle you choose matters. So does who installs it.

The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
