When you invest in a residential roofing system, you must also be aware of the warranty that comes with it. After all, it protects you from possible issues due to product or labor defects occurring through no fault of your own. That’s why it’s important to understand the basics of roofing warranties, especially when certain issues arise. Pressure Point Roofing Eugene, LLC, shares everything you need to know about them.
Manufacturers’ Warranties
Manufacturers’ warranties are provided by the company behind the manufacturing of the roofing materials. These typically cover material defects, premature material aging and labor issues. Manufacturers’ warranties may be limited in duration, so it is important to understand their coverage before purchasing a new roof.
Installation Warranties
Installation warranties are provided by the roof repair and replacement company behind the installation. Such warranties ensure that they’ve done their job correctly and followed the manufacturer’s installation requirements. Installation warranties may cover leaks, poor drainage, ridge cap installations, and more.
Warranty Coverage
The coverage provided by roofing warranties can vary greatly, so it is important to read the fine print before signing any contracts. Most warranties cover faulty materials replacement and, sometimes, installation workmanship.
Terms of Coverage
Most warranties specify how long they are valid and what repairs or replacements are covered. Additionally, some manufacturers’ warranties are transferable if you sell your home before the warranty expires.
Exclusions
Most roofing warranties also specify certain aspects of the roof that are not covered. Common exclusions include damage caused by neglect or improper maintenance, damage due to natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, and any modifications made to the roof after installation.
