What You Should Know About Shingle Warranties

The roof of your home is a very big investment, and it is one that you should put a lot of thought into when you need to replace it.  Most homeowners do find themselves dealing with a roof replacement job at some point in their lives, so it is a good idea to learn as much as you can about the process.  Between choosing a roofing contractor, deciding on a style and color for your shingles, and comparing roofing warranties, there is a lot to think about.  In the following paragraphs, we will discuss typical roof-related warranties that you may run across as you delve into your roofing research.

Warranties that pertain to a roof can be very complicated to interpret.  As a homeowner, you will want to find the best protection available.  One of the most important things you can do is to find a roofing contractor that has a good reputation, a lot of history and knowledge, and someone that will stand by their work.

There are typically two types of warranties associated with roofs: a manufacturer warranty, and a workmanship warranty.  Manufacturer warranties are offered by the manufacturer of the roofing materials and covers those materials only.  For example, a warranty for shingles usually has a lifespan of 20-50 years.  Manufacturer warranties typically only cover actual defects in the shingles themselves.  However, manufacturer warranties are rarely used, because they often require the homeowner to prove that they have provided proper maintenance of the materials on a regular basis.  This can be a difficult thing to prove.

Workmanship warranties are offered by the roofing contractor that completes the installation of the roof.  This is the main reason why you, the homeowner, should find a reputable roofing company to work with when replacing your home’s roof.  It is important to work with someone that is knowledgeable and stands behind their work, thoroughly.

We, at Bill White Roofing and Specialty, welcome the opportunity to work with you on all of your roofing needs.  We have been working on roofs throughout the Birmingham area since 1969, and we would love the chance to work on your roof, too.   Contact us for a free estimate today!
