Roof Warranty Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a workmanship warranty and a manufacturer warranty? 

A workmanship warranty covers any mistakes or errors made during the installation or labor process of your roofing job. It ensures the contractor’s work is completed to industry standards and protects you if something goes wrong due to improper installation. For example, if your roof starts leaking because the contractor didn’t seal it correctly, a workmanship warranty ensures those mistakes are fixed at no additional cost to you. These warranties typically reflect the contractor’s confidence in their skill and the quality of their work.

A manufacturer warranty, on the other hand, focuses on the roofing materials themselves. It guarantees that the materials are free of defects caused during production and that they will perform as expected over time. For instance, if roofing shingles curl or deteriorate prematurely, the manufacturer warranty ensures those materials are replaced or repaired. These two warranties work together to give you comprehensive protection for both the materials and how they are installed.

How long do roof warranties usually last? 

The duration of roof warranties depends on the type of warranty coverage and the materials used. 

• Material warranties: These typically range from 20 to 50 years for asphalt shingles, depending on the product line and the quality of the shingles. Higher-end, premium shingles tend to come with longer warranties. Metal and tile roofs, known for their durability, often carry warranties of 50 years or more, making them ideal for areas prone to extreme weather like heavy snow, strong winds, or intense heat. Some manufacturers even offer “lifetime coverage” for premium products, which often translate to 30 to 50 years in practice. 
• Workmanship warranties: These are usually shorter, often lasting around 1 to 10 years, depending on the contractor. Some roofing companies may offer extended workmanship warranties if they are certified or partnered with specific manufacturers. These warranties ensure that any errors made during installation will be corrected, protecting your home from leaks, improper sealing, and other common issues.

Understanding these warranty timeframes is crucial when selecting a roof. A longer warranty can provide peace of mind and protect your investment for decades.

What could void a roof warranty? 

A roof warranty can be voided under several circumstances, so it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and the contractor’s recommendations. Here are some common factors that may void your warranty: 

• Skipping Recommended Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to keep your roof in good condition and your warranty valid. This includes scheduling inspections, cleaning debris, and making necessary repairs. Neglecting routine upkeep can allow issues like leaks or mold to develop, which your warranty may not cover the cost. Most manufacturers outline specific maintenance requirements in the warranty terms. 
• Using the Wrong Materials: If a shingle or part of your roof needs to be replaced, using materials that aren’t compatible with your existing system can cause damage. For example, mixing different types of shingles or underlayment can lead to leaks or structural issues, resulting in a voided warranty. Always ensure replacement materials meet the manufacturer’s specifications. 
• Unauthorized Modifications: Adding features like solar panels, satellite dishes, or skylights without consulting the manufacturer or your contractor can void your warranty. These modifications can compromise the roof’s integrity, leading to leaks or structural problems. It’s essential to get approval and have these additions installed by qualified professionals. 
• Improper Installation: Roofs must be installed by certified, professional contractors who follow industry standards. Poor installation, such as improper sealing or insufficient ventilation, can lead to water damage, mold, or structural weaknesses that void the warranty. 
• Non-compliance with Building Codes: If your roof doesn’t meet local building codes or includes unapproved ventilation systems, your warranty may be invalid. Building codes exist to ensure safety and durability, so compliance is critical.
• Unresolved Payment Issues: Failing to pay for your roofing system in full or on agreed terms can result in a voided warranty. Clear communication and a payment plan with your contractor can prevent this issue.
• Poor Communication of Issues: If you notice a problem with your roof, report it to the contractor or manufacturer immediately. Ignoring issues or delaying communication could void your warranty, as most warranties require prompt notification of defects.

To protect your investment, make sure to follow the warranty terms closely, work with reputable contractors, and stay proactive about maintenance. Always consult professionals before making changes or repairs to your roof. 

What should I do if I need to claim on my roof warranty? 

If you experience an issue covered by your roof warranty, start by contacting both the manufacturer and your contractor. Determine whether the problem falls under the workmanship warranty or the manufacturer warranty, as this will dictate who is responsible for resolving it. 

To make the process smoother, have all necessary documentation ready, including: 

• Proof of purchase 
• Installation details 
• Maintenance records 
• Photos of the issue (if applicable)

Providing accurate and detailed information will help speed up the claim process and ensure your issue is resolved promptly. 

What info do I need to file an Owens Corning Warranty? 

To register or file an Owens Corning warranty, you’ll need specific details about your roof: 

• Installation date 
• Shingle type, color, and quantity used 

Ensure this information is accurate and complete during registration. Keeping these details handy will also make it easier to file a claim if you ever need warranty assistance. Proper registration ensures your roof is covered and gives you peace of mind for years to come. Always review your warranty terms for specific procedures and requirements.
