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.

Understanding 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. Full Coverage Warranties

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

  • Material-Only Warranties: Material-only warranties cover just the materials. If the shingles or tiles fail, they’ll replace them, but you’ll need to pay for the labor to install the new ones.
  • 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.
