Understanding Roof Warranties: What You Need to Know
Roof warranties can be confusing. We explain the difference between manufacturer and workmanship warranties, what they cover, and how to protect your investment.
Types of Roof Warranties
When investing in a new roof or major repair, understanding your warranty coverage is essential for protecting your investment. There are typically two types of warranties associated with roofing work.
Manufacturer's Warranty
This covers defects in the roofing material itself. Premium products typically offer warranties ranging from 15 to 50 years. Key points to understand:
- Usually covers material defects only, not installation errors
- May be prorated (coverage decreases over time)
- Requires installation by approved contractors to remain valid
- Does not cover damage from natural disasters or neglect
Workmanship Warranty
This is provided by your roofing contractor and covers the quality of installation. Expert Construction provides a comprehensive workmanship warranty on every job, covering:
- Installation defects and errors
- Leaks caused by improper installation
- Flashing and sealant failures
- Fastener and fixing issues
Protecting Your Warranty
To maintain your warranty coverage, follow these guidelines: schedule regular professional inspections, keep records of all maintenance work, avoid DIY modifications, and address any issues promptly rather than letting them worsen.
