There are two different roof warranties that are provided for each roof.  Manufacture Warranties provided by the roofing manufacturer and Workmanship Warranties offered by the contractor

Asphalt Warranties

Manufacturer

  • Manufacturer warranties cover manufacture defects only!  

  • Lifetime Warranties?

  • Most asphalt roofing manufactures are offering limited lifetime warranties.  Let us explain.  

    • 10-15yr full warranty covering materials and labour

    • After initial warranty the number is prorated to 30yrs with a small sum given for warranty claims after 30yrs

  • 95% of warranty claims are out of bundle, meaning that the shingles are found defective before they are installed on the roof

  • Almost all other warranties are given within the first 5 yrs

Workmanship

  • Workmanship warranties are usually 2 - 10yrs

  • Workmanship warranties cover any issues resulting from improper installation of shingles 

  • Workmanship warranties do not cover storm damage or manufacture defects in shingles.  This falls under either home insurance or manufacture warranties

Metal Warranties

Manufacturer

  • Usually around 40 year warranty

  • Colour only warranties.

  • Colour warranties are given based on a sliding scale of color fading

    • if your roof fades faster than the acceptable amount you can make a warranty claim

  • Metal shakes such as Ironwood are NOT WARRANTIED within 3km of the ocean due to salt spray in the air

Workmanship

  • Our workmanship warranty is a 10yr warranty on Asphalt Roofs & 20yrs on Snap Lock/Standing Seam Metal Roofs.

  • Workmanship warranties cover any issues resulting from improper installation of metal roof

  • Workmanship warranties do not cover storm damage or manufacture defects in shingles.  This falls under either home insurance or manufacturer warranties
