Warranties & wind mitigation

What does a roofing warranty do?

A roofing warranty is a guarantee from the manufacturer and installer that your roof will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period. If any issues arise due to manufacturing flaws or improper installation, the warranty will cover the costs of repairing or replacing the affected materials. This protection gives homeowners valuable assurance about the quality and longevity of their new roof.
