Roofing warranties play a vital role in protecting your home’s most significant investment. Learn why they matter and how to choose the best coverage for your needs.

What Is a Roofing Warranty?

Think of a roofing warranty as your safety net—an assurance that the work done is covered in case something goes wrong, protecting your home investment for years to come.

Material-Only vs. Labor/Material Warranties

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

  • Material-Only Warranties: Material-only warranties cover just the materials. If the shingles or tiles fail, they’ll replace them, but you’ll need to pay for the labor to install the new ones.
  • Comprehensive Warranties: Labor and material warranties provide complete coverage, ensuring that both the materials and the installation are protected.

The Advantage of Manufacturer-Backed Warranties

Manufacturer-backed warranties are a game changer. They combine robust material protection with vetted contractors for installation. Even if your contractor goes out of business, the manufacturer steps in to honor the warranty. This ensures you're never left stranded with a roofing issue.
