I came across Ondura in Lowes this morning and had never heard of it. It looks pretty slick. Does anyone have experience with it to share? I found no matches when searching here and was sort of surprised, as it seems very DIY for re-roofing.
I think for the residential market, especially if you will have to strip the roof anyway, that the real selling point has to be the appearance the product will give your roof... if you love the installed look (and I agree, it can look very sharp) then it's probably not a bad idea.
I bought a house with this installed. It was about ten years old and worn out. I live on the wet side of the mountains in Washington State, 9 blocks from the ocean. It rains here...a lot. The special vent caps weren't installed right and leaked. Ten tons of silicone didn't slow the water down, judging by the globs of it I found. There are two real problems with this system, I've found.
Another Thing: there's no ridge cap, they recommend roll roofing, which can easily come off in the wind. And it won't won't hold up when walked on. The website cautions against it. I DO NOT recommend it, spoken from hands-on experience. It's easy to work with and goes on easily, but it is a quickie fix at best
Don't use it---you will be sorry. I put it on a big job. Ondura turned the big job into big mistake. The material disintegrates in about 10 years. When they say it is environmentallyfriendly they mean it turns to compost right on your roof.
Complete Junk, not worth the hassle. before the ten year period it starts to lose its color and deteriorates, the ridge line breaks up and disintgrates.Ondura will not back you up even when they say life time warranty which is really untrue you have to paint the roof after about seven years, I found this out after installing the junk.
Absolutely a horrible product. We installed it a year ago and it is leaking, it has not held up well in cottage country. We talked to several roofers after the fact for help they all agree it is a horrible product. After a year we have had to have the roof stripped.
I just finished installing Ondura on my Garage (2-story Barn Style) over the existing asphalt shingles. It was a breeze to install other that the fact that it is very fragile to work with. I suggest avoiding windy days and make sure you are accurate with your hammer because you "will" put a hole in this stuff with very, very little effort. I only hope it holds up because this is absolutely the last roof I am ever doing on my own.
It is essentially heavy-duty corrugated painted tarpaper. I did one small roof with the stuff, and by the end of the process was quite certain I'd never use it again. If you want a corrugated roof, use metal; if you want a tar-based roof, either double-coverage roll roofing or normal asphalt shingles are a better choice.
This is the second roof Joe Hall Roofing has installed for us in the last 10 years. The need for both roofs was due storm hail damage. We are very particular on who we let work on our house and Joe Hall roofing gets 6 stars from us. Additionally, they provided us with the knowledge and facts to ensure we got the highest payout from our insurer, minimizing our out-of-pocket deductible costs. If you need any type of roofing or related repairs Joe Hall Roofing is the company to call!
We were treated like royalty by all we dealt with at Joe Hall Roofing. The work was performed perfectly & in the time frame we were told. Our experience was one of satisfactions on all levels. We highly recommend Joe Hall Roofing and would certainly use them again if we had reason to .
Always friendly and very helpful. The work Joe Hall Roofing did was professional and well done. You would not have know that a new roof was installed as there was zero trash left on site and the roof looks great.
Everyone I dealt with at Joe Hall were terrific in helping me to understand the process and made this very easy for me. I would highly recommend using them and will down the road again as well.
Highly recommend. Very professional, courteous and did an excellent job. Everyone was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my roofing needs were met, work was complete and done to my satisfaction. I used this company 20 years ago and never had an issue with their work so when it came time to get another roof I did not hesitate to call. My roof looks great! A big Thanks to everyone that made this possible.
After the hail storms move through our area, it is comforting to know I do not have to worry about what roofer to call. I have been in my home for 35 years and every time my roof has damage, I call Joe Hall Roofing. The work was just completed and I am VERY happy with the result. Great experience as expected!! Check them out!!
It is hard to say enough good things about how pleased we were with everything about the job. Jon was always there to help us with the process, the crew was fantastic in their dedication to a excellent job, and the Joe Hall office was very helpful in keeping us informed. Everyone was very courteous and considerate of our needs. I highly recommend Joe Hall Roofing.
We just had our roofing and siding completed by Emmons Roofing & Siding. They did a fantastic job, right from the beginning with the owner, and Ken, Gustavo, and all the office workers, they were great people to deal with. When you do a job this big, you want the right people doing it, and I think we made a great choice by going with them!
I had some roof damage and I called Emmons Roofing, and it was the best call I ever made. The roof looks fabulous, they helped with everything related to the insurance, and I would have them absolutely do a roof for anyone I know and love. Thanks!
I want everybody to know that Ken Small of Emmons Roofing helped me with acquiring funds from the insurance company. I was very pleased with how they handled the business and all that. I want to tell everybody that I highly, highly recommend Emmons Roofing & Siding!

Call them today if you need repairs or even a new installation. April 28, 2024 I initially noticed a drip in my master bedroom and via from one of my main vents after rain. I called 4 companies and also asked my neighbors for recommendations. I thankfully picked Rose Roofing! From the moment I called to the completion of repairs, I can honestly say each step was done with professionalism, patience, and honesty.
All 4 of the bids were similar in price, but the warranty and customer service were not. The Owens Corning product itself has a lifetime warranty (best shingles on the market), but only Rose roofing, gave a lifetime warranty on their work. That was just as important to me as the product itself. The warranty is also transferrable if I sell the home. Aside from the exceptional workmanship, Jonathan and his staff were professional, responsive and able to answer a litany of questions.
Rose Roofing representatives were very professional, answered all of my questions and made the entire process/experience great. On the day of installation, the workers were here early, were very friendly, finished the project in one day, and cleared all debris. From what I can see, the roof looks amazing.
We have a large and complicated roof and we are very happy with the result. They showed up on time and did a great job covering the pool and cleaning up after the job. We are very happy with the result. Thanks Jonathan and team!
Rose Roofing stripped our house and detached garage down to the studs and finished everything in one day. The job they did was amazing. And they gave us 30 days to pay. It was a pleasure doing business with Jonathan! Highly Recommend!!
