What You Need to Know About Roofing Warranties

When investing in a new commercial roof, understanding warranties is crucial. This article will explain the different types of roofing warranties and what they cover.

Material Warranties

Material warranties cover defects in the roofing materials themselves. These warranties can last anywhere from 10 to 50 years, depending on the manufacturer and material type.

Workmanship Warranties

Workmanship warranties cover the installation of the roof. A reputable contractor should offer a warranty that guarantees their work for a specified period, typically ranging from 1 to 10 years.

Transferable Warranties

Some warranties are transferable, meaning they can be passed on to a new owner if the property is sold. This can add value to your property and provide peace of mind to potential buyers.

Understanding warranties can protect your investment in a new roof.
