Roofing Warranties Demystified: What You Need to Know

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.

What Are Roofing Warranties?

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-Only vs. Full Coverage Warranties

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

  • Material-Only Coverage: These cover the roofing materials but not installation errors. If your shingles fail, the replacement materials are provided, but you're responsible for labor costs.
  • Full Coverage Warranties: A labor/material warranty covers both the roofing materials and the installation work, offering protection against defects in either.

Why a Manufacturer-Backed Warranty Matters

When your warranty is backed by the manufacturer, you’re not only getting superior material protection, but also a guarantee that installation issues are covered, even if the contractor disappears.
