What is a Roof Warranty?
A roof warranty is essentially a guarantee provided by the roofing manufacturer. It protects homeowners from potential defects in materials or workmanship. The material warranty protects you from factory or manufacturing defects, while the workmanship warranty protects you from issues during installation. Together, these roof warranty options can help ensure you are protected should any issues arise after your new roof installation.
