Different Types of Roof Warranties

Investing in a new roof means also considering warranty options. Roof warranties typically fall into two primary categories:

  • Warranties for Roofing Materials: Provided by the manufacturer, these cover defects in the roofing materials, such as shingles or underlayment.
  • Labor and Installation Warranties: These warranties are provided by contractors and cover issues arising from the installation process.

In some cases, warranties combine both material and labor protection, giving you all-around coverage.

A-Abel Roofing’s Warranty Plans

At A-Abel Roofing, we’re committed to providing peace of mind with our comprehensive warranty options. As certified installers of Owens Corning shingles, we offer premium material warranties, including:

  • Basic Material Warranty: A standard protection plan that covers material defects for a specified time.
  • Extended Protection Plans: Additional protection options, such as wind and algae resistance, are included in these extended warranties.

Our labor warranties complement these options, ensuring that your roof is expertly installed and backed by our commitment to quality.



Why You Should Register Your Roof Warranty

Many manufacturers require homeowners to register their warranties after installation. Registered warranties offer additional benefits, including:

  • Additional Coverage: Registering your warranty can provide extended coverage and better terms.
  • Proof of Ownership: Proof of ownership helps streamline the warranty claims process.

Our team will guide you through the registration process to ensure you receive all available benefits.

Transferring Your Roof Warranty When Selling Your Home

If you plan to sell your home, transferring your roof warranty can add value. Most warranties allow a one-time transfer to the new homeowners, but conditions like:

  • Transfer fees or required notification can apply when transferring the warranty.
  • Some warranties require that the transfer be completed within a specific time frame, such as the first year.

Talking with your contractor about the transfer process will help protect your warranty’s value.
