Roofing Warranties

A new roof is likely one of the largest investments you’ll make for your home’s comfort and durability. Therefore, it’s essential to safeguard this investment with the appropriate warranty. At Pro Roofing, we take pride in offering warranties supported by two of the most reputable names in the roofing industry: GAF and Owens Corning.

With numerous warranty options available, choosing the one that best meets your needs can be daunting. Continue reading to help you make an informed decision about the coverage that’s right for you.

While there are various types of warranties available for your roof, they generally fall into one of two categories: standard and extended manufacturer’s warranties.

Standard Manufacturer’s Warranty: This is the typical lifetime warranty that most shingles come with. While specifics can vary significantly between manufacturers, it serves as a basic warranty that covers costs related to factory defects. For a predetermined period, the warranty will replace any faulty materials at no charge, with prorated costs applicable thereafter until you sell the home.

Extended Manufacturer’s Warranty: If your roof is installed by one of the manufacturer’s authorized roofing contractors, you may opt for an extended warranty for an additional fee. In addition to hiring a trusted and certified installer, these warranties often require the installation of a complete roof system, including shingles, underlayment, vents, and enhanced protective barriers. The benefits are substantial, offering:

• Coverage for the entire roofing system, excluding items like flashing, fasteners, and wooden decking.
• An extended period during which defective materials are replaced at no cost, potentially up to 50 years.
• Warranty options may differ between GAF and Owens Corning roofs, so be sure to discuss your choices with your salesperson at Pro Roofing.
