Foot traffic and warranties
During a re-roof, workers are moving around constantly, and sometimes that leads to accidental damage. Keep an eye out for excessive footprints, leftover debris, or any other signs of carelessness. A good roofing crew will clean up daily and notify you immediately if something gets damaged.
Now, let’s talk about warranties...
Even with the best tips, nothing beats the peace of mind a solid warranty provides.
Be sure to understand what’s included—and more importantly, what’s not. Ask specific questions about exclusions and whether regular maintenance is required to keep the warranty valid.
Keep in mind that craftsmanship and manufacturer warranties are separate. The manufacturer warranty covers your shingles, while the craftsmanship warranty comes from the contractor.
If you’ve chosen a specific shingle, make sure your contractor is a certified installer for that brand. Any reputable roofing company should back their work with at least a 10-year warranty.
Roof replacements are a big investment, and mistakes can happen during the process. A good warranty ensures your investment is protected and saves you from unexpected costs later.
