Understanding the Basics of Roof Warranties

One of the most important things to consider when investing in a new roof is its warranty. It is basically a guarantee that protects you in case an issue occurs with your newly-installed roof. Understanding the warranty that comes with your purchase allows you to get the most out of it. Pritchett Roofing, Inc. explains more.

The Variety of Roof Warranty Coverage

The coverage of roof warranties differ from one manufacturer to another. It may also depend on the quality of the roofing system. Some only cover material defects, while others provide guarantees in workmanship. The top roofing manufacturers, however, offer both, which is enough to provide you with the utmost protection for your investment over its serviceable life.

The Importance of Registering Your Warranty

As soon as your new roof is installed, make sure that its warranty is duly registered. This is important, especially if you need to file a warranty claim. Before doing so, read everything from top to bottom, including the details of the registration. If you work with a manufacturer-certified contractor, however, you won’t have to worry about this step in the process.

The Likelihood of a Voided Warranty

The chances of a voided warranty become small if you adhere to the conditions stipulated in it, which is why it pays to read the fine print before having your new roof installed. For instance, you shouldn’t let anyone other than the installer inspect and maintain your roof. Also, you may not be able to install anything on top of your roof, be it an antenna or outdoor HVAC unit. Failure to keep up with necessary repairs or maintenance can put your roof’s warranty at risk of getting void.
