## FAQ

**What makes Duration different from a standard architectural shingle?**

Duration uses Owens Corning's SureNail Technology — a fabric-reinforced nailing strip built into the shingle — plus TruDefinition color-blend granules for a more dimensional look. Properly installed, the line carries up to a 130 mph wind rating.

**Do Duration shingles resist algae streaking better in our climate?**

The line includes StreakGuard algae-resistant granules, which helps with the black streaking you see on north-facing slopes in the Treasure Valley, though no shingle is permanently immune to it.

**Does SureNail actually matter for Boise's wind gusts?**

It's the nailing strip the wind rating depends on. We hit the manufacturer's nailing zone on every shingle so the fabric reinforcement does its job — nail placement off that zone can void the wind coverage regardless of the shingle brand.

**Do I need a city permit for this?**

Yes, a Boise reroofing permit runs about $70.76 plus $12.71 per $1,000 of valuation over $2,000. We pull it as part of the job.
