Roofing Warranties in Texas: What You Need to Know

A roofing warranty is only as good as the roofing company that is backing it. Don't get caught up in a slick sales pitch. Here are some facts you should know.

Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home. It protects you from the elements and keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When it comes time to replace your roof, it's important to consider the warranty that comes with it.

A roofing warranty is a promise from the manufacturer or installer that the roof will be free from defects for a certain period of time. Warranties can cover a variety of things, including materials, workmanship, and labor.

There are two main types of roofing warranties: material warranties and workmanship warranties.

Material Warranties which cover the actual materials used to install the roofing system. This includes roofing materials like field shingles, ridge shingles, underlayment, ice & water shield, and other related roofing accessories.

Workmanship / Labor Warranties which cover the actual craftsmanship that is done to install your roofing system. This includes the actual work such as nailing, installation of flashing, and the placement of the shingles per the manufacturer specifications. Typically, if a new roof is going to leak in the early years it is because of flaws in the workmanship or labor.

Roofing Warranties can be either Limited or Full.

Limited Warranties only cover certain roofing materials defects. For example, a limited warranty may only cover defects that are caused by roofing materials or workmanship.

Full Warranties cover all roofing materials defects, regardless of the cause.

The length of a roofing warranty can vary. Some warranties are only for a few years, while others are for 20 years or more.

When choosing a roofing contractor, it's important to ask about the warranty that comes with their work. Revolver Roofing & Restoration is happy to explain your particular warranty in detail and answer any questions you have.
