What does a roof warranty actually cover?

All answers
Quick answer

What does a roof warranty actually cover?

Manufacturer warranties cover material defects only (typically 25–50 yr prorated). Workmanship warranties cover install errors (2–25 yrs). Neither covers storm damage, wear, or neglect. Only certified installers unlock the top-tier system warranties.

What people say after James walks their roof

Three roofers wanted $32k after the June hailstorm. Roof Doctor NM walked the roof, took 84 photos, and said the hail was cosmetic. Saved me from a fraudulent claim.

Sarah K.Albuquerque · Nob Hill

Under contract on a Corrales house. The pre-purchase report caught two hidden layers the seller's disclosure missed. Got an $18k credit at closing.

David & Elena R.Corrales

Bid review flagged that the 'lifetime warranty' voided if we used the wrong underlayment — which the contractor had specced. Renegotiated the whole scope.
