Understanding the ins and outs of your roof’s warranty can make all the difference when it comes to protecting your investment. In this blog post, asphalt shingle and metal roofing expert Deschutes Roofing & Insulation walks you through the basics of roofing warranties, from the types of coverage available to choosing the right one for your needs.
A warranty is a guarantee that your investment will work as intended and expected to last for a certain time. In roofing systems, it typically covers material defects and workmanship errors for a set period. Regardless of the type of roof you install, the warranty’s term coverage often depends on the quality of the material and installation. Neglecting adequate roof maintenance, such as cleaning gutters and conducting regular inspections, could void the warranty.
The manufacturer’s warranty covers material defects, such as cracking, curling, or blistering shingles. However, manufacturer warranties often come with limitations and exclusions, so read the fine print carefully. Remember that most residential roofing warranties are transferable, which can be a selling point if you decide to put your home on the market.
The workmanship warranty is provided by your roofing contractor. It covers installation errors and any problems that arise from improper installation. The duration and terms of workmanship warranties can vary, so it’s essential to work with a reputable contractor who stands behind their work.
Choosing the right warranty for your needs and budget is crucial. Start by assessing your property’s requirements and comparing warranties between manufacturers and contractors. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about terms and conditions to ensure you understand what is and isn’t covered.
