Platinum Preferred Roofing Certification isn’t a badge — it’s a safeguard for your home. Fewer than 1% of contractors earn this distinction from Owens Corning, and it means stricter standards, verified stability, and stronger warranties. See how Universal Roof & Contracting uses this certification to protect your roof, your investment, and your peace of mind.

Certification And Learn What It Delivers For YOU!
This Accreditation Isn’t About Status – It’s
About Protecting You And Your Home
When you hear “Platinum Preferred Certification,” it might sound like a nice industry accolade. But when it comes to roofing contractors in Central Florida, it makes a world of difference.
But for you, this certification is far more than that. It’s a safeguard against the very real concerns that come with owning a home – storm damage, hidden leaks, unreliable contractors, and costly mistakes.
This accreditation means Owens Corning has already put us through the wringer!
But at Universal Roof & Contracting, earning certifications (or an A+ rating with the BBB) isn’t about bragging rights.
We set standards that are rarely matched in our area of the country, whether we’re talking specialty metal roofs, stylish tile roofs, or Owens Corning asphalt shingle systems.
It’s about proving that your wants and needs come first:
- Precision workmanship that you don’t have to second-guess
- Peace of mind knowing your investment is secure
- Protection from high winds and heavy rains
That’s what Platinum Preferred really delivers for YOU. Let’s cut through the industry lingo to show exactly how it benefits you where it matters most – at home.
A Certification That Actually Has YOUR Back
Most certifications are just pieces of paper that contractors hang on their office walls. But Platinum Preferred is different. It’s Owens Corning saying,
“Yes, this company has proven they do things the right way.“
And that’s not for us – it’s for you.
Think about it: your roof is the first line of defense against pounding rain, whipping winds, and blistering sun. You can’t afford a “good enough” job. Platinum Preferred status means you never have to wonder if your roof will hold up when the next storm rolls through.
It’s more than credibility. It’s confidence that you’re not talking to the wrong roofer.
Confidence that your roof was installed by one of the nation’s top 1% of contractors – and confidence that you’ll be taken care of long after the last nail is driven.
What It Takes To Become Platinum Preferred
Platinum Preferred isn’t something you just sign up for – Owens Corning only gives it to fewer than 1% of roofers nationwide. And staying in the program means proving ourselves over and over again.
Here’s what that looks like for you:
- Accountability: Owens Corning checks customer satisfaction scores and boots contractors who don’t measure up. That means we’re held to your expectations, not just our own.
- We Stick Around: Owens Corning verifies financial stability, so you avoid getting burned by a roofer who folds after a storm season.
- Roofing Done Right: We must follow strict installation standards – complete roofing systems, full tear-offs, and no skipped steps. It’s asphalt roofing built to outlast Florida’s most brutal weather.
Platinum Preferred status is our proof that sloppy workmanship isn’t in our DNA. Your roof gets the care, precision, and oversight it deserves — period. We’re going to treat you the right way so that you remember us.
A Roofing Warranty With Teeth!
Most roofers hand you a “workmanship warranty” that lasts only three to five years. After that, if something goes wrong, you’re on your own – even if the problem started with their installation.
That’s not much comfort in a place like Central Florida, where your roof takes a beating year after year…
Platinum Preferred status changes that story.
It allows us to offer the Platinum Protection Limited Warranty – one of the strongest warranties in the industry. It doesn’t just cover the shingles. It also covers the workmanship behind the installation, where most warranties fall short.
The difference for you is simple but powerful.
No finger-pointing between the manufacturer and installer if something fails.
No countdown clock that leaves you unprotected after a few years.
And if you ever sell your home, the protection can even be transferred to the next owner, adding significant value.
This isn’t fine print. It’s real, enforceable protection that keeps your investment – and your peace of mind – safe for the long haul.
