Easily Build Your Perfect Roofing System

Published March 27, 2021 · Updated September 23, 2026

Two-story home with stone veneer, cream siding and a charcoal shingle roof

It takes more than a quote to choose the right roof. Our Build Your Roof tool lets you try shingle, siding and trim colors on a sample home, so you can see combinations before we come out for your estimate.

A Roof Is a System, Not Just Shingles

It takes more than shingles to protect your home. A complete roofing system — such as Owens Corning’s Total Protection Roofing System — is an integrated set of components and layers designed to perform in three critical areas:

  • Seal. Leak barrier and underlayment keep moisture away from the roof deck.
  • Defend. Starter strip, field shingles and hip and ridge shingles each protect a different part of the roof.
  • Breathe. Balanced ventilation continually replaces warm, humid attic air with cool, dry air, protecting the shingles from underneath.

When those components are chosen to work together, the roof performs better and lasts longer than a roof pieced together from mismatched parts.

We are excited to help you get started. Start building, or contact us for a free inspection and estimate.
