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?

A roofing warranty guarantees that the materials and labor used on your roof meet high standards, offering protection against unforeseen issues. It ensures that your roof’s performance is backed by the manufacturer or contractor.

Material-Only vs. Labor/Material Warranties

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

  • Warranties for Materials Only: A material-only warranty ensures your roofing materials are covered, but any installation issues remain your responsibility.
  • Full Coverage 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.
