Ten years, in writing.
A roof has two warranties: the manufacturer’s on the shingles, and the roofer’s on the installation. Most leaks are installation problems, so the second one matters more.
Who covers what.
Workmanship, 10 years
Flashing, nailing, vents, valleys and anything else we installed. If it leaks because of how we did it, we fix it.
Manufacturer, lifetime limited
Covers defects in the shingles themselves. Registered in your name after the job.
Storms
Hail and wind damage is what insurance is for. We’ll still come out and photograph it.
Why the roofer’s warranty matters more
Shingles rarely fail because of a manufacturing defect. They fail because a vent wasn’t flashed right, nails were driven high, or a valley was cut short. Those are installation problems, and only the roofer’s warranty covers them.
Which is why it matters whether the roofer will still be in business in ten years. We’ve been on S. Shields since 1998. Ask a storm chaser where they’ll be in 2036.
