Your roof is not just a critical part of your home’s structure—it’s a significant investment. That’s why understanding the scope and details of a standard roof warranty is essential. Roof warranties are designed to protect this investment by covering the cost of materials and labor should issues arise due to manufacturing defects or installation errors. In this blog post, we will dive into what a standard roof warranty typically covers, highlighting the benefits of comprehensive warranties offered by leading manufacturers.
Understanding the Basics of a Standard Roof Warranty
A standard roof warranty is designed to cover the materials and labor involved in the installation of your roof. This coverage is crucial because it ensures that any defects in materials or workmanship are addressed without additional costs to you.
For instance, as a preferred contractor with top manufacturers like Owens Corning and GAF, we offer a 30-year warranty on residential roofing systems. This warranty includes everything from shingles to synthetic underlayment and ridge vents, provided all components of the system are used.
What’s Included in Your Warranty?
- Materials: All components, such as shingles, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, and ridge vents, are covered under the warranty.
- Labor: Installation labor is also covered. If the installation is faulty, the warranty ensures that these issues are resolved without additional charges.
- Comprehensive Coverage: By using a complete system from a single manufacturer, you ensure that all parts of your roof are uniformly protected under the warranty.
Extended Protection for Commercial Roofing
For commercial properties, the warranty coverage can be even more extensive. We typically offer:
- 20-Year Warranty: Standard for local businesses, covering all materials and labor.
- 25-Year NDL Warranty: Available for larger projects like hospitals and schools, the “No Dollar Limit” warranty assures that all costs associated with repair or replacement under the warranty are fully covered, regardless of the expense.
Key Aspects of Commercial Roof Warranties
- Third-Party Inspections: A third-party inspector evaluates the quality of the roofing installation to ensure everything is up to standard before the warranty is officially in place.
- Detail Checks: Inspectors look at seam welding, wind fasteners, and other critical details to ensure long-term durability.
The Significance of Manufacturer’s Warranties
A manufacturer’s warranty is particularly valuable. It guarantees that if the roofing contractor fails to meet their obligations, or even goes out of business, the manufacturer will step in to resolve any issues. This type of warranty is crucial for ensuring long-term support and accountability from your roofing contractor.
Ensuring Quality and Support Through Manufacturer’s Warranty
- Manufacturer’s Support: If there are any problems, the manufacturer will find a qualified contractor to fix the issues at no extra cost to you.
- Customer Assurance: This warranty provides peace of mind, knowing that your roof’s integrity is maintained by the manufacturer’s commitment to quality.
Customer Support and Warranty Claims
Our commitment to customer service extends beyond the installation. With the manufacturer’s warranty in place, any concerns or issues that arise are promptly addressed. This includes sending out another contractor, if necessary, to handle repairs and ensure your satisfaction.
How to Make a Warranty Claim
- Contact the Manufacturer: If your initial installer is unresponsive, contact the manufacturer directly.
- Immediate Assistance: The manufacturer will coordinate the necessary services to address your roofing issues quickly and efficiently.
In Summary: Protect Your Investment with a Comprehensive Roof Warranty
