A new roof is a major investment, and like any big investment, it should come with protection. That’s where a roof warranty comes in. But not all warranties are created equal, and understanding the coverage can save you a lot of stress (and money) down the road.
At Titan Strong Roofing, we believe every homeowner deserves to feel confident in their roof and the warranty that comes with it. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types of roofing warranties and what to look for before you sign on the dotted line.
Manufacturer’s Warranty
This is the most common type of roof warranty and is typically provided by the company that makes the roofing materials (like shingles or metal panels).
What it usually covers:
- Defects in materials, such as premature cracking or curling
- Typically last between 20–50 years, depending on the product
- Often pro-rated, meaning coverage decreases over time
What to check:
- Is it a standard warranty or extended coverage?
- Are there specific maintenance requirements you must follow to keep it valid
- Does it cover labor, or materials only?
Workmanship Warranty (Installation Warranty)
This type of warranty is offered by the roofing contractor, and it’s one of the most important parts of your protection plan.
What it usually covers:
- Issues that arise due to improper installation
- Labor or workmanship-related leaks, damage, or failure
What to check:
- How long does the contractor stand behind their work? (Titan Strong Roofing offers warranties you can trust.)
- Is it transferable if you sell your home?
- What are the conditions that could void the warranty?
System Warranty or Extended Coverage Plans
Some manufacturers offer enhanced warranties when the full roofing system is installed by a certified contractor and includes all approved materials (underlayment, ventilation, shingles, etc.).
Benefits include:
- Longer coverage terms (sometimes up to 50 years)
- Non-prorated protection for both labor and materials
- Stronger peace of mind when paired with an experienced installer
What Homeowners Should Ask Before Signing Off
- Who do I contact if there’s a problem — the manufacturer or the contractor?
- Does the warranty require regular inspections or maintenance to stay valid?
- What specific situations are not covered? (For example: storm damage, improper repairs, or lack of ventilation.)
- Is the warranty transferable to a new owner? This can be a big selling point if you plan to move.
