Roof Replacement Warranty Types

The word 'warranty' can refer to different protections. Homeowners should identify exactly who provides each warranty and what its written terms say.

Manufacturer warranties

A roofing manufacturer may provide warranty coverage related to eligible products, subject to its written terms, exclusions, installation requirements, and claim procedures.

Workmanship warranties

A roofing contractor may separately provide a workmanship warranty covering aspects of its installation. Terms and duration vary by provider.

Enhanced systems or programs

Some manufacturers offer additional warranty options when specified products, installation requirements, or credentialed contractors are used.

Read the actual documents

Marketing summaries are not a substitute for the warranty. Review the current written terms, exclusions, transfer rules, registration requirements, and claim procedures.
