Roofing warranties ensure you’re not liable for any damage and underperformance for decades. It gives any homeowner peace of mind knowing their roof can be repaired or replaced without any payment out of their pocket. Today’s post from Homecraft® Inc. shares everything you must know about your roofing warranties.
There are primarily two types of roofing warranties homeowners should be aware of: manufacturer’s warranties and workmanship warranties. Manufacturer’s warranties cover defects in roofing materials, whereas workmanship warranties are provided by the roofing contractor and cover errors in installation. As long as you comply with their terms, you won’t have to pay out of pocket for any repairs or replacements.
A comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and labor can save homeowners a significant amount of money and hassle. It’s not just about having a warranty in place; it’s about the specifics of the coverage and understanding what is included and what is not. Make sure to read the fine print and ask questions so that you know exactly how your roof is protected.
Professional installation by a certified and experienced roofing contractor cannot be overstated in its importance. Even the highest quality roofing materials can fail if not installed correctly. Certified installations ensure that roofing materials perform as expected, installed within the manufacturer’s guidelines and that the warranty remains valid. An improperly installed roof can lead to issues that might not be covered by your warranty and rejected by the manufacturer.
Another often-overlooked aspect of roofing warranties is their transferability. A transferable warranty can be a substantial selling point if you decide to move, as it adds value to your home and provides an extra layer of reassurance to potential buyers.
Finally, the strength of a roofing warranty is also a reflection of the manufacturer’s confidence in their product and the installer’s trust in their workmanship. Warranties show the care and genuine helpfulness both manufacturer and contractor extends to homeowners by giving them a guarantee (or lifetime guarantee) that the roof will stand for decades.
