Understanding Our Residential Roofing Warranties

Understanding Roofing Warranties: What You Need to Know

When investing in a new roof, understanding the warranties that come with it is crucial. Here's a breakdown of the types of warranties you may encounter:

Manufacturer's Warranty: This warranty covers the roofing materials themselves and is typically provided by the shingle manufacturer. It protects against defects in the materials and can vary in length and coverage.

Workmanship Warranty: Offered by the roofing contractor, this warranty covers the installation of the roof. It ensures that the work is done correctly and can range from a few years to a lifetime, depending on the contractor.

Extended Warranty: Some manufacturers and contractors offer extended warranties for additional protection. These warranties may include coverage for labor and materials, as well as prorated coverage over time.

Transferable Warranty: A transferable warranty can be transferred to a new homeowner if you sell your home. This can be a valuable selling point and may increase the value of your home.

It's important to carefully review the terms of any warranty to understand what is covered and for how long. Keep records of your warranty and any maintenance or repairs done to your roof, as this may be required to make a warranty claim.
