Homeowners who have their roof repaired or replaced generally know that they have a warranty, but many aren’t sure what it does and doesn’t cover. Here are some important things you should know about roofing warranties.

What Does a Roofing Warranty Cover?

A roofing warranty will cover manufacturer’s defects. For instance, if shingles are installed correctly, but a problem at some point in the manufacturing process caused them to be brittle, and as a result you need to have your roof replaced prematurely, your warranty can cover that.

A roofing warranty can also cover problems related to installation. If the workers who install your new roof make a mistake, and that error causes the roof to leak in a storm or causes shingles to come loose, repairs can be covered by your warranty.

What Does a Roofing Warranty Not Cover?

A warranty only applies to defective products or installation errors. If you don’t properly maintain your roof, or if you try to make repairs yourself instead of hiring a qualified contractor, that can void your warranty. Then you’ll have to foot the bill for roof repair or replacement yourself.

How Much Will a Warranty Pay for Repairs?

The answer depends on the specific warranty. A roofing warranty might cover only materials or only labor, or it might cover both. There may be a limit on both the timeframe when the warranty applies and the amount a company will pay for warrantied repairs.
