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. Labor/Material Warranties
Warranties vary in scope and coverage. Here’s a breakdown of what each type offers:
- Warranties for Materials Only: 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.
