Our Warranties
A warranty provides you assurance and confidence that your roof is covered for any damage that may happen.
Investing in a new roof is a costly investment and therefore should be protected; as it would be a major expense if any problems should arise during its lifetime without any protection in place.
It is important to do your due diligence on the warranties offered from the manufacturer for the roofing system you have chosen for your roof.
Not all roofing contractors are as confident as we are on their labor warranty. We provide a labor warranty that is longer than most other contractors.
Inquire with our roofing specialist at time of estimate to decide on what protection is best for your roof and your circumstances.
A manufacturer warranty can vary, some will cover the entire system and some will only cover the material. Most manufacturer warranties also require that the contractor be a certified installer for their material and to also perform warranted repairs for the first 2 years following the installation.
A Full-System warranty will not only cover the main roofing material but also the the manufacturers accessories, which are typically part of the warranty package. These types of warranties will typically cover full cost, labor included, for any leak repairs within the warranty terms and conditions.
A roof workmanship warranty will cover you against costs related to actual installation failures and errors which a labor-only warranty may not cover. Some system warranties do however cover workmanship. If your roofing system warranty does not include workmanship coverage you may be able to get this type of coverage directly from your roofing contractor.
A labor-only warranty covers only the labor required to address a roof defect and does not cover the cost of materials. These types of warranties are usually offered by the roof installer. Note that this type of warranty is not a roof workmanship warranty and may not cover repairs for installation errors.
Most roof warranties do not cover any consequential or interior damages caused by roof leaks or defects such as carpets, walls, ceilings, equipment and merchandise, etc.
Hurricanes, high winds, hail storms, tornadoes, floods, etc., are typically not covered. However, sometimes extra coverage can be added. Also, alot depends on the roofing material chosen for your roof and the warranty inclusions/exclusions so it is important to read the fine print.
