A strong, durable roof not only shields you and your family from the elements but also contributes to the curb appeal of your home. As with most significant investments, it has a warranty that provides an extra layer of protection, ensuring you’re covered in case of any unexpected issues. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to make sure your roofing warranty is truly protecting you and your home.
First, understanding the types of roofing warranties available is imperative. There are two main categories: the manufacturer’s warranty, which covers material defects, and the workmanship warranty, which covers installation errors. While manufacturers’ warranties can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years, workmanship warranties vary depending on the roofing contractor.
It’s also important to note that warranties have limitations. They usually don’t cover damage from natural disasters, neglect or improper installation. To ensure you’re protected, be aware of your warranty’s coverage and duration and familiarize yourself with any maintenance requirements.
To ensure you’re getting a solid warranty, selecting the right roofing contractor is crucial. Start by researching local companies and comparing their offerings. Make sure to check if they have the proper licensing and insurance, as well as any certifications related to warranty coverage. Don’t hesitate to read reviews and ask for references to gauge customer satisfaction. Discuss warranty options with potential contractors to find one that meets your needs.
Even with a comprehensive warranty, the importance of proper installation cannot be overstated. Hiring a certified and experienced contractor ensures your roof replacement is installed correctly, reducing the chances of future problems. Additionally, regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to keeping your warranty valid and your roof in top condition.
To make the most of your warranty, be proactive about roof maintenance. Schedule regular inspections, address any issues promptly and maintain records of repairs and maintenance. Understanding the transferability of your warranty is also vital if you plan to sell your home in the future.
