Roofing warranties play a vital role in protecting your home’s most significant investment. Learn why they matter and how to choose the best coverage for your needs.
What Are Roofing Warranties?
A roofing warranty guarantees that the materials and labor used on your roof meet high standards, offering protection against unforeseen issues. It ensures that your roof’s performance is backed by the manufacturer or contractor.
Material-Only vs. Full Coverage Warranties
Not all warranties are created equal. Here's the difference:
- 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.
- Labor/Material Warranties: These comprehensive warranties cover both materials and workmanship, ensuring you don’t pay extra for errors during installation.
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.
