Why You Should Get a Roofing Warranty from a Roofing Company

Predicting future disasters is more or less impossible and, when it comes to the structural integrity of your roof, you are always better off safe than sorry. However, this can be difficult when having to juggle other roofing responsibilities. Instead, you may want to look into obtaining a warranty from a number of certified roofing companies in order to cover all of your bases.

With decades of shared experience among our many contractors, ServiceWhale can help you select a proper roofing warranty. At the very least, we can advise you on certain elements of which you should be aware when deciding on a warranty plan.

Is a Roofing Warranty Important?

Until actual calamity strikes, all forms of warranties and insurances are seemingly useless. More specifically, if you never need to use it, why bother getting it in the first place? Keep in mind as well that most roofs are built to last in the neighborhood of 30 to 40, even 50 years. That being said, you just never know when disaster will afflict you; a good roofing warranty can be the only thing protecting you from several thousands of dollars of repair and replacement costs.

What to Look for in a Roofing Warranty

When roofing companies take care of your roofing installation and offer you a warranty, you will want to be upfront from the start on exactly what kind of warranties they are offering. Generally speaking, roofing warranties will cover manufacturing flaws and errors committed during installation.

About Manufacturing Warranties

If there was a design flaw during the manufacturing of a certain roofing material, you can choose a manufacturing warranty to protect yourself. These warranties will often last in excess of 20 years, though they can be rendered void if it is determined that you did not properly maintain and service your roofing. Furthermore, manufacturing errors are not usually the cause of roofing problems anyway.

About Workmanship Warranties

Rather than defective building materials, workmanship errors are to blame for many roofing issues. As a result, many reputable roofing installers will offer workmanship warranties to guarantee their work.

While workmanship warranties are usually good gestures, ServiceWhale still recommends that you iron out the terms of the warranty before selecting it. For instance, you should look for warranties north of 10 years to adequately cover yourself, though these warranties might be voided if you have another contractor take a look at your roofing at any point.

Ask about Roofing Warranties from Professional Roofing Companies

There are a number of professional roofing companies waiting out there for new projects and ServiceWhale can introduce you to these contractors. The end result is a new or updated roof that catches the eyes of the neighborhood and protects your home better than ever.

However, you never know when disaster will strike, and ServiceWhale strongly encourages that you inquire about potential roofing warranty plans. At the very least, these warranties can grant you peace of mind, though by selecting a ServiceWhale contractor, your roofing is expected to hold up just fine over time.
