As with most significant purchases, a new roofing system comes with a warranty. It is in place to keep you covered should issues arise with it. Having a solid roofing warranty can provide you with peace of mind and protection. Local roof cleaning and installation expert Earl W. Johnston Roofing explains the different types of roofing warranties below.
The manufacturer warranty typically covers defects in roofing materials. If certain components of your roof fail prematurely due to manufacturing errors, this warranty ensures you’re covered. Some manufacturers may offer a warranty spanning several decades, while others offer more limited coverage. The key is to ensure that the materials used on your roof come with a robust manufacturer’s warranty for added security.
Aside from material defects, the integrity of your roof also depends on the quality of the installation. That’s where the workmanship warranty comes into play. This warranty covers errors in installation and is proof that your roofers will stand behind their work in case there’s something wrong or overlooked during the installation and post-project inspection phase.
Extended manufacturer’s warranties are an option worth considering. They may include coverage for both materials and labor, providing a comprehensive safety net for your roofing investment. You can discuss the availability of extended warranties for your chosen roofing materials with your chosen roofing contractor.
Take note: Most manufacturer warranties are only legitimate if your roof system is installed by a licensed and manufacturer-certified roofer. For instance, if a GAF Master Elite® installs a roof that qualifies for their 50-year warranty, you can be sure your sturdy roof will last for 50 years – or your Master Elite roofer will ensure it does after they service it again.
