When investing in a new roof, it is important to understand the two distinct layers of protection available to you. While both are essential, they cover different aspects of your roofing system:
- Manufacturer Warranty: This covers the physical materials and products themselves. Backed by manufacturers like CertainTeed and Malarkey, these warranties typically protect against material failures or defects for 20 to 50 years. They ensure that the shingles or roofing membranes you purchased perform as promised.
- Labor (Workmanship) Warranty: This is provided by us, your contractor, to cover the quality of the installation. A roofing workmanship warranty protects you against errors made during the assembly of the roof, such as improper sealing or fastening. These typically span 5 to 25 years and provide assurance that the installation meets rigorous standards, such as those set by the Roofing Contractor Association of British Columbia (RCABC).
Having both types of coverage ensures that whether a problem arises from a faulty product or an installation oversight, your home remains protected. We also offer a 35-year transferable roof warranty option, which can significantly enhance your property’s resale value by allowing coverage to pass to the next owner.
Warranties vary by manufacturer and installation — check specific warranty terms.
