Does Your Roof Warranty Cover Storm Damage?

High winds, heavy snow and hailstorms can cause serious damage to your roof. Keep in mind that roofing issues must be addressed promptly. The longer you wait to schedule repairs, the higher the risk of leaks and moisture-related problems like rot and mold growth.

It isn’t uncommon for homeowners to ask if their roofing warranties cover storm damage. Learn the answer from your local GAF roofer.

What Roofing Warranties Typically Cover

A reliable roofer will offer you two types of warranties, one for material and another for labor. Material or manufacturer warranty protects you against defective products. On the other hand, labor or workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues.

At Deschutes Roofing, you can always rely on us for high-quality roofing services. We work with GAF to give you access to the best materials and warranties. If you also need a snow removal service, we’re here to help.

Do They Cover Home Storm Damage?

Roofing warranties will only cover problems that result from faulty materials and incorrect installation. They don’t usually cover damage caused by “acts of God” such as severe storms, high winds, fire, lightning and earthquakes. However, you might be able to purchase extended coverage for hail, high winds and puncture damage.

How Are They Different From Homeowners Insurance?

Homeowners insurance usually covers damage from fires, hail, earthquakes, tornadoes and other weather extremes. Your insurer will also pay for the repairs if a tree falls on your roof during a storm. However, your insurance provider might reject your claim if they discover that the roofing issue occurred due to negligence. You must regularly maintain your roof to keep your warranty valid and avoid rejection from your insurer.
