Understanding the Different Roof Warranty Options

When investing in a new roof, understanding the warranty options available is crucial. There are two primary types of roof warranties:

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

Some warranties cover both materials and labor, providing a more comprehensive protection plan for your roof.

A-Abel’s Warranty Options

At A-Abel Roofing, we ensure you’re covered with reliable warranties. As certified installers of Owens Corning shingles, we offer premium material warranties, which include:

  • Basic Warranty: A standard warranty that covers material defects over a defined time frame.
  • Comprehensive Warranties: Includes extra coverage, such as resistance to wind and algae damage.

These warranties are backed by our labor coverage, ensuring your roof is installed correctly and with quality craftsmanship.



The Importance of Registered Warranties

For many warranties, registration is required and provides added value, such as:

  • Expanded Protection: Registering your warranty can provide extended coverage and better terms.
  • Registration Proof: Registration simplifies the claims process by verifying your eligibility.

At A-Abel Roofing, we help you navigate the registration process to maximize your warranty benefits.

Transferring Your Roof Warranty: What You Need to Know

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 and notification requirements are common when transferring warranties.
  • Time limits, such as transferring within the first year of homeownership.

Consulting your contractor about the transfer process can ensure it goes smoothly and maintains the warranty’s value.
