Workmanship
Warranty
A workmanship warranty is an agreement offered
to you by a roofing contractor that states specific
conditions regarding the proper application of the products and the number of years the work is
covered by the roofing contractor: It is in no way
connected to warranties offered by the manufacturer
of the products installed on your roof.
Example:
A roofing
contractor installs a 25-year asphalt shingle to
your roof. 4 years later, your roof begins to leak.
It is discovered that the leak is caused because the
shingles were not installed properly.
Who is at Fault?
The roofing
contractor is at fault because the shingles were not
installed properly, In other words,
the workmanship
caused the leak; there was nothing wrong with the
shingles. Therefore, the roofing contractor is
responsible to stop the leak, not the manufacturer
of the shingles.
Your Safety about Workmanship Warranties
Workmanship warranties are only as good as the
ability of your roofing contractor to stand behind
their work. It is important to safeguard yourself
from misleading guarantees or warranties from
roofing contractors unable (or unwilling) to return to your
home to fix any faulty workmanship.

on your roof. We guarantee our service with an
iron-clad warranty that covers every inch of work we

Manufacturer
Warranty
A manufacturer warranty states conditions that
apply to the roofing products purchased from the
manufacturer. Whether you make the purchase or a contractor makes the purchase, the warranty
is in no way connected to the work performed on your
roof by a roofing contractor.
Example:
A roofing
contractor installs a 25-year asphalt single to your
roof. 4 years later, your roof begins to leak. It is
discovered that the leak is caused by a chemical
deficiency in the shingles.
Who is at Fault?
The manufacturer of
the shingles is at fault because the shingles had a
defect that originated at the manufacturing plant.
In other words, the shingles caused
the
leak regardless of the roofing contractor's
good or bad workmanship. Therefore, the roofing manufacturer is
responsible to replace the shingles, not the roofing
contractor.
Your Safety about Manufacturer Warranties
Manufacturer warranties are written by huge
companies. Their warranties are very basic and ought
not be of any real concern to the average home
owner.
It is
more important, for your protection as a consumer of
roofing products and services, that the
contractor installs every roofing product according
to the manufacturer's warranty guidelines, otherwise the
manufacturer's warranties become void.
