Understanding the Different Roof Warranty Options

It’s essential to understand roof warranty options when installing a new roof. Typically, there are two main types of roof warranties to consider:

  • Manufacturer Warranties: Offered by the manufacturer, these warranties cover material defects such as issues with shingles or underlayment.
  • Installation Warranties: Offered by roofing contractors, these cover issues related to the installation process.

In some cases, warranties combine both material and labor protection, giving you all-around coverage.

A-Abel Roofing’s Warranty Plans

At A-Abel Roofing, we’re committed to providing peace of mind with our comprehensive warranty options. As certified installers of Owens Corning shingles, we offer premium material warranties, including:

  • Enhanced Warranty Options: Extended warranties offer extra protection, including resistance to wind damage and algae.

These warranties are backed by our labor coverage, ensuring your roof is installed correctly and with quality craftsmanship.



The Importance of Registered Warranties

After installation, many manufacturers ask homeowners to register their warranties. This provides added benefits such as:

  • Expanded Protection: Many warranties offer extended protection once registered.
  • Proof of Purchase: Registration simplifies the claims process by verifying your eligibility.

At A-Abel Roofing, we help you navigate the registration process to maximize your warranty benefits.

Transferring Your Roof Warranty: What You Need to Know

If you plan to sell your home, transferring your roof warranty can add value. Most warranties allow a one-time transfer to the new homeowners, but conditions like:

  • Some warranties may require a fee or a formal notification for the transfer.
  • Some warranties require that the transfer be completed within a specific time frame, such as the first year.

To ensure the warranty’s value is preserved, discuss transfer details with your contractor.
