Roofing warranties can be confusing because there is more than one kind. Understanding the difference helps you know exactly what protects your investment. Here is a plain-language breakdown of the two main types.
The Two Types of Warranties
A well-protected roof is covered on two fronts.
Workmanship Warranty
This covers how your roof was installed. Even great materials fail if installed poorly, which is why we back every job with a 10-Year Craftsmen Guarantee, as our installation guide explains.
Manufacturer Warranty
This covers the materials themselves against defects. Choosing quality materials, covered in our material guide, pairs a strong material warranty with expert installation.
Why Both Matter
A roof is only fully protected when both the work and the materials are covered. Our approach to warranties makes sure you have both.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a workmanship and manufacturer warranty? A workmanship warranty covers how the roof was installed; a manufacturer warranty covers the materials against defects.
Do I need both types of warranty? Yes. Full protection requires both, since a roof can fail from either a bad install or defective materials.
Are roofing warranties transferable? Many are transferable to a new owner, which can add value at resale. Always confirm the terms with your contractor.
