Roofing warranties play a vital role in protecting your home’s most significant investment. Learn why they matter and how to choose the best coverage for your needs.

What Is a Roofing Warranty?

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:

  • Material-Only Warranties: A material-only warranty ensures your roofing materials are covered, but any installation issues remain your responsibility.
  • Labor/Material Warranties: A labor/material warranty covers both the roofing materials and the installation work, offering protection against defects in either.

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.
