The security of a warranty, whether it’s for a new phone or a coffee maker, is can be comforting. It is no different for a residential roofing system. Since a new roof is a major investment, a strong warranty is a major selling point and is something many customers routinely inquire about before handing over their check. But what does a standard roof warranty actually get you?
Understanding the Coverage of Your Roof Warranty
A lot of insurance providers will only cover repairs or a replacement if they’re caused by defective materials or poor installation. Most roof warranties will not cover extreme weather, third-party damage and poor maintenance.
It is also important to note that many providers will include certain conditions, such as using their own maintenance or roof repair team, to retain your warranty. This is why it is critical that you go over your coverage with a fine-tooth comb to avoid any surprises later down the road.
Choose the Right Roofer
When taking bids from local contractors, do a side-by-side comparison so that you can see who offers the best coverage. Above all, avoid working with a roofer that isn’t licensed no matter how attractive their price may be as this is the surest way to avoid your warranty. You should also remember that roof warranties are not intended to protect the homeowner so do not purchase a new roof based on the warranty alone.
When choosing the right roofer, check their ratings, testimonials and recognitions online. You can browse through the company’s website or a quick search on Google. A trusted roofer should be able to show everything pertaining to their work with past clients through reviews or testimonials.
