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.

What Is a Roofing Warranty?

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-Only vs. Labor/Material Warranties

There are different types of roofing warranties. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the key differences:

  • Material-Only Coverage: These cover the roofing materials but not installation errors. If your shingles fail, the replacement materials are provided, but you're responsible for labor costs.
  • 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.
