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 Warranties vs. Comprehensive Warranties: What’s the Difference?

Warranties vary in scope and coverage. Here’s a breakdown of what each type offers:

  • 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.
  • Comprehensive Warranties: A labor/material warranty covers both the roofing materials and the installation work, offering protection against defects in either.

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.
