Roof Replacement In The Woodlands: The
411 On Warranties And Guarantees

Ensure You Are Protected With Your
Chosen Roof Replacement

Roof replacement in The Woodlands is more than selecting a contractor, picking a roof, and having it slapped on – that is the bare minimum.

Unfortunately, many roofers in the Houston area only provide the bare minimum to their customers.

To ensure your happiness with a roof replacement, you should always have a warranty and a guarantee. Without these assurances, you could find yourself left to deal with the consequences of a faulty roof on your own. Investing in roofing without some promise if things go haywire is a risk that could cost you significantly in the long run.

Think of roofing warranties and guarantees as a safety net. When you choose a company that offers them, you ensure you have this safety net when needed.

Blue Truss offers impeccable warranties and guarantees on our work that cannot be found elsewhere. You will feel 100% protected with what we offer!

Understanding Roof Replacement
Warranties And Guarantees

Roofing warranties and guarantees are put in place for consumer protection. Both words are used interchangeably within the roofing industry.

Ultimately, both warranties and guarantees promise a set number of years that your roof will perform as it should; otherwise, the manufacturer or the contractor will be held liable.

Two main types of warranties and guarantees are given to roofing systems: manufacturer warranties and contractor warranties.

Manufacturer Warranties And Guarantees

The manufacturer of your roofing material offers warranties, which protect the homeowner should there be any defects. The manufacturer warranty also covers instances where the material fails to hold up as it should during a period of time outlined by the manufacturer.

For example, if your new asphalt shingle roof suddenly starts losing granules within a couple of weeks of installation, a manufacturing defect could be to blame. In these situations, the manufacturer would replace the defective material with a suitable and comparable product.

Manufacturers warrant their products for various lengths of time. The industry standard is a limited lifetime warranty, which can range from a few years to over ten.

A lifetime warranty is given to many luxury roofing materials. This period is often 50 years.

Contrary to popular belief, a lifetime warranty does not cover your lifetime. According to the manufacturer, it refers to the life expectancy of the shingles.

In other words, a 'lifetime warranty' typically refers to the average lifespan of the product, which can vary depending on the brand and type of shingles used.

Contractor Warranties And Guarantees

The contractor can also give warranties for workmanship. These warranties protect you should damage occur related to improper installation by the contractor.

It is important to note that only some contractors will offer a workmanship warranty. However, those contractors who have taken extensive training, are backed by the manufacturer, and are confident in their abilities to provide a workmanship warranty.

This type of warranty is a testament to the quality of their work and can provide homeowners with peace of mind.

If a contractor does not offer a warranty on the roof they are installing, run the other way! Typically, contractors provide warranties ranging from 2 - 10 years.

Do Homeowners Get Roof Replacement Warranties
And Guarantees Automatically?

Your roof should be registered upon being replaced by a qualified roofing contractor. This registration process is crucial.

Why?

Because it provides documentation that a qualified contractor installed your roof, without this documentation, you can’t make a claim if anything goes wrong with your roof.

Legitimate contractors will walk you through this step, provide paperwork supporting the warranties and guarantees offered, and be available to answer your questions.

If you were to choose a contractor not approved to install a particular brand of roofing, you would not have any type of guarantee or warranty in place. But when you choose a qualified contractor, you can be confident in the quality of your roof and the protection it provides.

Like the brands Blue Truss offers, luxury roofing manufacturers will only back their materials for enhanced coverage when installed by a qualified contractor who meets their high standards.

Why Should You Search For The Best Roof
Replacement Warranties And Guarantees?

Warranties and guarantees are meant to protect the consumer, which means you’ll want them in place when replacing your roof.

Without them, you could be left to deal with the financial and logistical burdens of a faulty roof on your own.

A roof replacement is a significant investment in your home, and you want to ensure your money is well-spent. Warranties and guarantees ensure you don’t find yourself replacing your roof out of your pocket after having just had it done a year ago, saving you money in the long run.
