When the homeowner asks for wood-shake curb appeal without wood-shake maintenance, [Owens Corning](https://www.roofingcontractor.com/articles/101831-owens-corning-relaunches-woodcrest-and-woodmoor-shingle-collection?ref=ridgereport.news) wants Western and Mountain contractors stocking a relaunched answer. [Roofing Contractor](https://www.roofingcontractor.com/articles/101831-owens-corning-relaunches-woodcrest-and-woodmoor-shingle-collection?ref=ridgereport.news) reported Jan. 28, 2026 that OC is relaunching the Woodcrest & Woodmoor shingle collection in those regions, orderable as of Jan. 1, 2026.

This is a materials/spec story, not a national brand lecture: which profile to sell, which colors exist, and how California Title 24 Part 6 [cool-roof](https://www.ridgereport.news/cool-roof-energy-code-trends-contractors/) SRI constraints change the palette.

What it means for your crew

- Confirm Woodcrest vs Woodmoor stocking in Western/Mountain yards before you sell shake-look curb appeal.
- For California bids, pull the cool-roof color deck that meets Title 24 SRI—not the full national palette.
- Train estimators on the profile split: rugged cut (Woodcrest) vs thicker layered shadow line (Woodmoor).

## Product split on the truck

- **Woodcrest:** Textured cut with a rugged, shake-inspired look and rich color options.
- **Woodmoor:** Extra granules and layered detailing; extra-thick design meant to mimic hand-split shake with a bolder texture and stronger shadow line.
- **Regions:** Western and Mountain U.S. (per OC / trade coverage). Do not assume East Coast stocking without a distributor check.
- **Order date:** Available to order as of Jan. 1, 2026.

## Color deck (standard + CA cool)

Nature-inspired colors listed for the collection: Carbon, Granite, Sycamore, Chestnut, Mesquite, and Timber. In California, the COOL Roof Collection adds Mountainside, Night Sky, and Sand Castle — each described as engineered with solar-reflective granules to help comply with Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) requirements under Title 24, Part 6.

> Homeowner wants shake drama; California energy code wants reflectance. Stock the cool trio for Title 24 jobs, and do not promise a dark standard color will clear a cool-roof checklist.

## Estimator / sales checklist

- **Ask the look question early:** Shake-inspired rugged (Woodcrest) vs. thicker hand-split drama (Woodmoor). Get it in writing before the color board fight.
- **Map the jurisdiction:** Outside CA cool-roof zones, the six standard colors may be enough. Inside Title 24 Part 6 cool-roof requirements, lead with Mountainside, Night Sky, or Sand Castle and confirm current SRI documentation from OC — codes and product listings move.
- **Distributor reality:** “Relaunch in Western and Mountain” is not a promise every branch has both profiles in all colors. Confirm lead times before you put either name on a signed proposal.
- **Warranty / system:** Sell the shingle inside OC’s published system requirements; do not improvise underlayment or ventilation from memory of an older Woodcrest/Woodmoor generation.

OC points contractors to owenscorning.com/inspiredbynature for full benefits and specifications. Use that page — not this summary — for submittals.

The Ridge Report take: when the shake look walks in the door, your job is profile + color + code, in that order. Woodmoor sells the shadow line; California cool colors sell the permit. Stock what you can actually deliver in 2026, not what the brochure photographed in another region.

*Grounded in Roofing Contractor’s Jan. 28, 2026 report on the Woodcrest & Woodmoor relaunch and Owens Corning’s Inspired by Nature product page for regional availability, color names, and Title 24 / SRI framing. Always verify current Title 24 Part 6 requirements and product SRI listings before specifying.*
