Platinum preferred contractors are trained professionals who have undergone extensive additional training and can demonstrate exceptional skills. Roofing professionals with Platinum Preferred status have a proven track record of excellent customer service and superior business practices, setting them apart from other standard contractors.
The Requirements to Achieve Platinum Preferred Status
Exclusive Invitation and Vetting
Unlike other certification processes, Platinum Preferred status is given exclusively. Meaning, contractors cannot simply apply, but must receive a direct invitation from Owens Corning. In the vetting process, in addition to the requirement of outstanding customer service and business practices, one must maintain good standing with the Better Business Bureau, a nonprofit organization that monitors companies’ adherence to strict standards to ensure trust and transparency.
Experience and Legal Compliance
Other prerequisites for Platinum status include being an experienced contractor with at least three years of operation or one year as a standard preferred contractor. Legal compliance is also an important aspect of the certification. Businesses must comply with all state standards for workers’ compensation and proper licensure.
Upholding the Standard: Ongoing Training and Best Practices
Continuous Education
Staying Owens Corning-certified also means businesses must constantly stay up to date on roofing best practices. As the construction and roofing industries can change rapidly, all parties must ensure that contractors continue to have the skills and knowledge to meet the highest standards required by Owens Corning.
Commitment to Customer Service
Certifications are intended to ensure customers receive the highest quality and safety standards. Customer satisfaction is one of the measures used to assess a contractor’s performance. Owens Corning requires roofers with their certifications to go above and beyond in exceptional performance and customer service to maintain the prestigious title.
