Roof defects are covered by the installation only warranty. This only covers roof defects that are due to improper installation.
Labor Only
Labor costs are covered by the labor only warranty; it does not cover materials. If you are looking to purchase this warranty, it is critical that you have a clear idea of what’s covered under a labor only policy.
Materials Only
A guarantee that your roof holds up to specified roofing defects are covered by the materials only warranty. This warranty does not protect against roof damage due to a faulty installation or if you do not properly maintain your roof.
System Warranty
Materials and labor costs are covered by the system warranty. This warranty is offered by the roof manufacturer and may protect you if installation failure occurs. This warranty will not cover you if your roof damage is from lack of maintenance.
Manufacturer’s Warranty
Labor, material and system warranties can be included in the manufacturer’s warranty. It does not protect your roof from all damages, but it is designed to safeguard against roof damages to non-manufacturer provided components of the roof. This warranty usually last for 10 to 30 years. Not all warranties are the same, so be sure you have a precise understand of what goes into your warranty.
