Yes, 50-year manufacturer material warranties are verifiable in British Columbia and are commonly offered by leading manufacturers such as CertainTeed and Malarkey. These long-term warranties are designed to cover material failures or defects over several decades, though it is important to understand how they are structured.
In British Columbia, these warranties are typically divided into two categories:
- Manufacturer Material Warranties: These cover the product itself for 20 to 50 years. Depending on the specific terms, they may be non-prorated for a set period or prorated over the life of the roof.
- Workmanship Warranties: These are provided by us as the installer to cover installation quality. While material coverage may last 50 years, workmanship warranties from BC contractors generally span 5 to 25 years.
To ensure your 50-year warranty is valid and verifiable, we recommend taking the following steps:
- Choose a Certified Installer: We are manufacturer-accredited installers for CertainTeed and Malarkey, which is often a requirement for these extended warranties to be honored.
- Verify Transferability: Many 50-year material warranties are transferable to new homeowners, which can significantly enhance your property’s resale value.
- Perform Regular Maintenance: Maintaining coverage often requires professional maintenance, such as annual inspections and moss removal, to prevent moisture damage.
- Review Specific Terms: Because warranties vary by manufacturer and installation, you should always check the specific warranty documents for exclusions like improper ventilation or acts of nature.
Warranties vary by manufacturer and installation — check specific warranty terms.
