When it comes to a full roof replacement, there are several things you need to consider. Note that your new roof will be constantly exposed to outside conditions, which is why you should invest in one that comes with a good warranty coverage so you can get the most out of it.
Understanding Your Roofing Warranty
A good warranty helps protect your new roof for many years. To determine which warranty coverage is right for your situation, you must compare products and the warranties that come with them. Several roofing manufacturers offer varying levels of warranties that fit the requirements of every homeowner.
As one of the leading roof repair contractors in the area, we recommend warranties that have the longest possible coverage period. With this, you won’t have to deal with replacing your roof over its serviceable lifespan, especially if you don’t intend to put your home up for sale.
What Should Your Roof Warranty Cover?
An ideal roofing warranty covers both materials and workmanship. We explain this in further detail below:
- Material Defects
Most roofing manufacturers offer warranties that cover problems on roofing materials, such as premature “balding” and blisters caused by trapped moisture between the asphalt shingles. It is worth noting, however, that such warranties only cover the replacement of the defective material, not the teardown, installation and disposal costs. In some cases, the coverage is included as an upgrade to an existing roofing warranty. - Workmanship Errors
Most roofing warranties cover installation errors, which are the more common reasons behind warranty claims from homeowners. Roofing contractors offer limited warranties for such, which tend to have shorter terms than material warranties. That’s because problems resulting from workmanship errors only manifest within the first few years of installation.
