1. Types of Roof Warranties
There are three main types of warranties associated with roofing systems:
Manufacturer’s Warranty: Covers defects in roofing materials and typically lasts 20-50 years, depending on the material used.
Workmanship Warranty: Offered by the contractor, this covers installation errors and usually lasts anywhere from 1 to 10 years.
Extended Warranty: Some manufacturers or contractors offer extended warranties that provide additional coverage for a longer period.
2. What Roof Warranties Cover
While warranties vary, they generally cover:
Defective roofing materials
Premature deterioration due to manufacturing issues
Installation errors (if included in the workmanship warranty)
Some extended warranties may cover damage from extreme weather
3. What Roof Warranties Don’t Cover
It’s just as important to know what isn’t covered. Common exclusions include:
Damage due to improper maintenance
Natural disasters like hurricanes or tornadoes
Normal wear and tear
Unauthorized modifications or repairs
4. How to Maintain Your Warranty
To ensure your warranty remains valid:
Schedule regular inspections and maintenance.
Use a licensed and certified roofing contractor for any repairs.
Keep records of all inspections and repairs.
Avoid installing additional structures (e.g., solar panels) without approval.
