Keep on reading to learn the basics of commercial roofing.
Two Main Types of Warranties
You can get commercial roofing warranties from manufacturers or your contractors. Make sure that you have both warranties from the roofing manufacturer and installer. Assessing the terms of these warranties can help you choose which material and installer you should choose. A reliable roofer would help you decide what’s best for your property.
Who Are Responsible for Repairs?
How do you know who you should contact if you need a roof repair? You should reach out to the manufacturer if you need a replacement for defective products. Keep in mind that the manufacturer is not responsible for replacing damaged materials from the contractor. Your roofing contractor is responsible for repairs and replacement of materials that are the result of poor workmanship.
What Can Void Your Warranty?
Regular maintenance is usually necessary to keep your roofing warranty valid. If you fail to get your roof inspected and maintained regularly, your warranty can become invalid. Not addressing storm damage or delaying repairs can also void your warranty. Another common cause of a voided warranty is making unauthorized changes to your roof or improperly installing rooftop equipment, such as air conditioning units.
