Roofing warranties are more than just paperwork—they're your safety net for one of the biggest investments in your home. Let's dive into why they're essential and how to choose the right one.

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 Warranties vs. Comprehensive Warranties: What’s the Difference?

There are different types of roofing warranties. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the key differences:

  • 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.
  • 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

Manufacturer-backed warranties provide you with an extra layer of protection—if something goes wrong with the installation, the manufacturer steps in to help.
