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 Is a Roofing Warranty?

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-Only vs. Labor/Material Warranties

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

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

The Advantage of Manufacturer-Backed Warranties

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.
