How to Make Sure Your Roof Warranty Is Protecting You

With your roofing system constantly exposed to the elements, it will start displaying signs of wear and tear over time. In fact, they may be serious enough not only to cause leaks, but result ultimately in a roof replacement. This particular investment will need some careful research, especially when it comes to roof warranties. How do you know it will actually protect you? WaynCo Roofing, your reliable roof replacement company, explains how you can make sure.

Make sure you understand the coverage. Standard roofing warranties usually cover two things: material and workmanship. The former offers protection against manufacturer defects, which can cause the new roofing to fail long before it should. The latter refers to the roof installation itself—it allows for coverage when the workmanship doesn’t properly adhere to quality standards.

Always read the fine print. A careful look is always a good thing, whether it’s browsing a contract or filing a roof insurance claim. This is especially important in roofing warranty, which comes with a set of guidelines. You’ll want to make sure you’ve understood every single one. This way, you can avoid crucial factors that may void the warranty, while allowing you to be on the lookout for stuff that shouldn’t be there at all, such as odd exclusions to coverage.

Use the requirements of the roof warranty to your advantage. While roof warranties can be stringent in their stipulations, they are ultimately there to protect your investment. They ensure the work involves only the use of qualified professionals. Plus, they provide strict requirements that your contractor should account for, covering a variety of essential factors, like material thickness or specific installation techniques.
