A roofing warranty is more than a guarantee—it's a protection plan for your home’s most important asset. Discover why roofing warranties are crucial and how to pick the best one for your roof.

Understanding Roofing Warranties

A roofing warranty is your assurance that the work done on your roof is backed by a commitment to quality. It protects you against potential issues, giving you peace of mind that your investment is secure.

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

Not all warranties are created equal. Here's the difference:

  • Warranties for Materials Only: 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.
  • Labor/Material Warranties: Labor and material warranties provide complete coverage, ensuring that both the materials and the installation are protected.

Why a Manufacturer-Backed Warranty Matters

Manufacturer-backed warranties are a game changer. They combine robust material protection with vetted contractors for installation. Even if your contractor goes out of business, the manufacturer steps in to honor the warranty. This ensures you're never left stranded with a roofing issue.
