The money that goes into repairing your roofing represents a significant investment. Not only do some repair jobs cost thousands of dollars, but you’ll rely on that repair to hold for 30-40 years. However, if issues arise within the time that you should reasonably expect your roof to endure, it helps to have the protection that comes with an outstanding roof warranty.

The next time you’re searching for a roofing company, you’ll want to ensure that they guarantee their work through a warranty. When it comes to roofing warranties, there are typically two types of protection: protection against manufacturer defects and protection from workmanship errors.

Manufacturer Protection

While many companies are out there selling roofing materials, a select few have established themselves as the most trusted names in the industry. These include:

What sets these manufacturers apart from the rest is that they cover their materials with iron-clad warranties written to provide protection for up to 40-50 years (where applicable).
