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

A roofing warranty is your assurance that the work done on your roof is backed by a commitment to quality. It protects you against potential issues, giving you peace of mind that your investment is secure.

Material Warranties vs. Comprehensive Warranties: What’s the Difference?

Warranties vary in scope and coverage. Here’s a breakdown of what each type offers:

  • Material-Only Warranties: 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.
  • Comprehensive 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.
