Getting the Most Out of Your Roofing Warranty

Your roof provides a critical layer of protection for your home, so it pays to keep it in good condition. Your roofing system will start displaying signs of damage over time, which means you need to spend for future repairs and replacements. To help you save time and money in the long run, you should secure a strong warranty. Here are things to look into before signing a warranty with your roofer:

1. Coverage and Exclusions

The best way to make sure that you’re getting a fair deal is completely knowing what the warranty offers. Usually, the coverage of a roofing warranty includes leak repairs caused by defective materials and poor workmanship. However, damage from other reasons like severe weather and poor maintenance are usually excluded. To avoid warranty problems in the future, you should check the coverage and exclusions provided by your contractor. 

2. Manufacturer Requirements

Since there are manufacturers whose products can only be exclusively installed by a qualified roofer, it’s advisable to call them. You should also check if the roofing company is licensed; otherwise, you would need to find an authorized contractor to install the roofing products that you need. 

3. Contractor’s Credentials and Track Record 

Choosing an experienced contractor is one of the best ways to avoid getting yourself into warranty problems. It’s important to know how long the roofing company has been licensed by the manufacturer. To ensure that you’ll be working with someone who has a good track record and offers quality workmanship, you should check for customer feedback and recognition that the contractor has received.
