Roofing warranties play a vital role in protecting your home’s most significant investment. Learn why they matter and how to choose the best coverage for your needs.
What Is a Roofing Warranty?
A roofing warranty guarantees that the materials and labor used on your roof meet high standards, offering protection against unforeseen issues. It ensures that your roof’s performance is backed by the manufacturer or contractor.
Material Warranties vs. Comprehensive Warranties: What’s the Difference?
There are different types of roofing warranties. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the key differences:
- Material-Only Coverage: Material-only warranties cover just the materials. If the shingles or tiles fail, they’ll replace them, but you’ll need to pay for the labor to install the new ones.
- Labor/Material Warranties: A labor/material warranty covers both the roofing materials and the installation work, offering protection against defects in either.
The Advantage of Manufacturer-Backed Warranties
Manufacturer-backed warranties are a game changer. They combine robust material protection with vetted contractors for installation. Even if your contractor goes out of business, the manufacturer steps in to honor the warranty. This ensures you're never left stranded with a roofing issue.
