Roof Warranties and Their Importance
What are roof warranties and why are they important? Your roof is a crucial component to your home. Not only is it a large investment, but it protects your entire home. There are many options to choose from when it comes to roofing options as well as warranties. Here are a few questions to ask when choosing the right roof and warranty coverage for your home.
Who can offer warranties?
All roofing products come with a limited warranty. However, not all roofing contractors can offer manufacturer backed product defect or workmanship warranties. With most roofing companies, you must be a certified roofing contractor to be able to offer the top of the line warranties.
Is the warranty transferable?
A fully transferable warranty means you can transfer the warranty to the new homeowner for no charge. However, some warranties are nontransferable or charge a fee to do so. When or if you decide to sell your home, a fully transferable warranty can be extremely valuable to the new homeowner.
Is the warranty prorated?
A prorated warranty means your coverage will slowly diminish over time. On the other hand, a non-prorated warranty will keep you fully covered for the entire length of the warranty.
What does the warranty cover?
Warranty coverage varies with each manufacturer. As a GAF Master Elite Contractor we can offer warranties that cover not only the product itself but also the workmanship.
How long is the warranty?
Most manufacturers offer a minimum warranty coverage, but it can range all the way up to 50 years. You can be guaranteed to have coverage that will last the life of your roof.
