What this means for your roof
A Class A fire classification does not mean shingles escape damage from a fire. Owens Corning calls for inspection and says distorted, singed, melted or blistered shingles warrant roof replacement. Fire-related damage is distinguished from manufacturing-defect warranty coverage.
A useful question for your contractor
Ask for documented inspection of the shingles and other affected roofing components before assuming the roof is serviceable.
Ask for the answer to be tied to the actual roof condition and the exact product being installed. Keep the agreed repair or installation detail with your estimate and project photos.
