Understanding Roof Warranties: What's Covered and What's Not
Roof warranties provide important protection for your investment, but understanding what's covered—and what's not—is essential for homeowners. Here's a breakdown of common roof warranty types and their coverage.
Manufacturer warranties cover defects in roofing materials. These warranties typically last 20-50 years depending on the product and cover issues like manufacturing defects, premature deterioration, and algae resistance failure.
Workmanship warranties cover installation errors. These are provided by your roofing contractor and typically range from 1-10 years. Certified installers often offer enhanced workmanship warranties.
Most warranties don't cover damage from storms, falling objects, or other external events. This damage falls under your homeowner's insurance rather than your roofing warranty.
Improper maintenance can void your warranty. Keep records of inspections and maintenance, address minor repairs promptly, and follow the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.
