Benefits of a Warranty on Your Roof

Whether you are working with Integrity Roofing Harrisburg IL. or another local roofing company it is important to understand your warranty options for when the project is officially completed. While most manufacturers will offer some form of basic manufacturer warranty, many roofing contractors will offer additional warranty options and support which should be discussed with you prior to the project beginning. Here are the main benefits of adding a warranty to your roofing project.

 

Common Types of Roofing Warranties

 

The most common types of roofing warranties are offered by Integrity Roofing Harrisburg IL. As well as many other roofing contractors are manufacturer product warranties, contractor warranties, and enhanced warranties. Usually, it is the enhanced warranties that provide the most coverage. 

 

Manufacturer Product Warranties

 

Defects in the manufacturing of products is common, but luckily, most manufacturers understand this fact and offer options to protect their customers. These types of warranties are usually at no cost to the customer, and protect the homeowner from paying for any damaged or defective products that were damaged during manufacturing. Some manufacturers even offer further protection to customers who purchase more than one product from them. This is usually done by simply protecting the extra items under the same warranty as your initial purchase, which would not have occurred if bought separately. If you are confused about what warranties the manufacturer of your products offer, they should have that information on their website, if not, you can call. If a manufacturer cannot give you this information, they might not be trustworthy, and you should look at other options if possible. 

 

Contractor Warranties 

 

Most local contractors such as Integrity Roofing Harrisburg IL. offer contractor warranties on top of the manufacturer warranty for added protection. The type of warranty can vary greatly from contractor to contractor, but for the most part, many contractors offer storm damage protection warranties, and warranties in case of errors during the installation process. 

 

Enhanced Warranties 

Sometimes a roofing contractor, such as Integrity Roofing Harrisburg IL. Can offer enhanced roofing warranties that are through the contractor, but backed by the manufacturer. This type of warranty usually comes at an additional cost, and requires the use of a roofing contractor within the manufacturer network. For example, Integrity Roofing Harrisburg IL. is a GAF Master Elite Contractor, meaning that we can offer the best and most extended warranties GAF offers. Top tier warranties from manufacturers like GAF can protect your roof from manufacturing defects for up to 50 years! Even if the roofing contractor you use goes out of business, your warranty through the manufacturer will still be intact!
