Roofing Warranties Demystified: What You Need to Know

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 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 Coverage: 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.
  • Full Coverage Warranties: These comprehensive warranties cover both materials and workmanship, ensuring you don’t pay extra for errors during installation.

The Advantage of Manufacturer-Backed Warranties

When your warranty is backed by the manufacturer, you’re not only getting superior material protection, but also a guarantee that installation issues are covered, even if the contractor disappears.
