A roofing warranty is more than a guarantee—it's a protection plan for your home’s most important asset. Discover why roofing warranties are crucial and how to pick the best one for your roof.

What Is a Roofing Warranty?

A roofing warranty is your assurance that the work done on your roof is backed by a commitment to quality. It protects you against potential issues, giving you peace of mind that your investment is secure.

Material-Only vs. Labor/Material Warranties

Not all warranties are created equal. Here's the difference:

  • Material-Only Warranties: These cover the roofing materials but not installation errors. If your shingles fail, the replacement materials are provided, but you're responsible for labor costs.
  • Comprehensive Warranties: A labor/material warranty covers both the roofing materials and the installation work, offering protection against defects in either.

Why a Manufacturer-Backed Warranty Matters

Manufacturer-backed warranties provide you with an extra layer of protection—if something goes wrong with the installation, the manufacturer steps in to help.
