Understanding Roof Warranties: What Homeowners Need to Know.

Book Online

A new roof is a major investment, and ensuring long-term protection is just as important as choosing the right materials. Roof warranties provide peace of mind, covering potential material defects and installation issues—but not all warranties offer the same level of protection.

At Halo Roofing Solutions, we believe in transparent and reliable coverage, offering both a 1-year free workmanship warranty and an optional 15-year extended workmanship warranty for homeowners who want longer-lasting protection.

Let’s explore the different types of roof warranties and how our exclusive warranty plans safeguard your home.

🔹 The Two Main Types of Roof Warranties

1. Manufacturer’s Warranty (Material Warranty)

A manufacturer’s warranty covers defects in roofing materials. This means that if shingles, underlayment, or other components fail due to a production issue, the manufacturer may provide replacement materials.

🔹 Key Features:✔ Covers shingle defects, but NOT installation errors.✔ Most warranties last 25-50 years, depending on the brand and product.✔ Typically prorated, meaning coverage decreases over time.

📌 What It Doesn’t Cover:

• Labor costs for installing replacement materials.

• Damage caused by improper installation or lack of maintenance.

• Storm damage, leaks, or wear and tear over time.

2. Workmanship Warranty (Installation Warranty)

A workmanship warranty is provided by the roofing contractor and covers any installation-related issues that may cause problems down the line. Even the best roofing materials won’t protect your home if they’re not installed correctly.

🔹 Key Features:✔ Covers errors made during installation, such as improper flashing, ventilation issues, or shingle misalignment.✔ Protects against leaks and premature roof failure caused by poor workmanship.✔ Ensures that if issues arise due to installation mistakes, they’ll be corrected at no cost to you.

📌 What It Doesn’t Cover:

• Natural disasters, hail, wind, or storm damage.

• Damage caused by a lack of maintenance (clogged gutters, moss buildup, etc.).

• Modifications or repairs made by other contractors after the roof installation.

🔹 Why Warranties Matter for Your Roof

A strong roof warranty protects your investment and ensures your home stays safe from leaks and premature failures. Here’s why homeowners should always check for both material and workmanship coverage:

Maintaining Your Roof to Keep Your Warranty Valid

A strong roof warranty is only as good as the maintenance routine that supports it. Many manufacturers and roofing contractors (including Halo Roofing Solutions) require regular upkeep to keep warranties valid. Neglecting maintenance could result in voided coverage, leaving you responsible for costly repairs.

Here’s what you need to know about maintaining your roof and ensuring your workmanship and manufacturer warranties remain intact.

🔹 Key Maintenance Requirements for Warranty Protection

1. Keep Gutters & Downspouts Clean

Why It Matters:Clogged gutters cause water backup, which can lead to roof leaks, rot, and fascia damage. Water pooling on your roof is also a common cause of premature shingle deterioration.

✔ How Often? Twice a year (spring and fall) or more frequently if you have trees nearby.

2. Remove Moss, Algae & Debris

Why It Matters:Moss and algae trap moisture, leading to shingle damage, leaks, and premature wear. Leaves, branches, and other debris can also cause water pooling and rot.

✔ How Often? Inspect seasonally and remove any buildup. Consider a professional soft wash once a year.

3. Schedule Routine Roof Inspections

Why It Matters:Many warranties require professional inspections to document that the roof is being properly maintained. This helps catch small issues before they become major problems.

✔ How Often? Annual inspections (or after major storms).

📌 At Halo Roofing Solutions, we offer:✅ Standard Roof Inspections – Focused on roof condition and minor repairs.✅ Comprehensive Exterior Inspections – Includes roof, gutters, siding, and flashing checks for full-home protection.

4. Address Repairs Promptly

Why It Matters:Small problems, like loose shingles or minor leaks, can quickly escalate into major damage if left unaddressed. Most warranties do not cover neglect or lack of maintenance.

✔ How Often? Check after severe storms and high winds.

5. Avoid Unauthorized Roof Modifications

Why It Matters:Installing solar panels, satellite dishes, skylights, or new ventilation systems without proper flashing can void warranties due to improper installation.

✔ Tip: Always use a licensed roofing contractor for any modifications.
