Roofing warranties are more than just paperwork—they're your safety net for one of the biggest investments in your home. Let's dive into why they're essential and how to choose the right one.

What Is a Roofing Warranty?

Think of a roofing warranty as your safety net—an assurance that the work done is covered in case something goes wrong, protecting your home investment for years to come.

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

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

  • 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.
  • Comprehensive Warranties: Labor and material warranties provide complete coverage, ensuring that both the materials and the installation are protected.

The Benefits of a Manufacturer-Backed Warranty

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.
