Roofing warranties are more than just paperwork—they're your safety net for one of the biggest investments in your home. Let's dive into why they're essential and how to choose the right one.

Understanding Roofing Warranties

Think of a roofing warranty as your safety net—an assurance that the work done is covered in case something goes wrong, protecting your home investment for years to come.

Material-Only vs. Labor/Material Warranties

There are different types of roofing warranties. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the key differences:

  • Warranties for Materials Only: These cover the roofing materials but not installation errors. If your shingles fail, the replacement materials are provided, but you're responsible for labor costs.
  • Full Coverage Warranties: A labor/material warranty covers both the roofing materials and the installation work, offering protection against defects in either.

The Benefits of a Manufacturer-Backed Warranty

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.
