Material coverage
A manufacturer warranty concerns the product under its terms. Coverage periods, remedies, exclusions and transfer rules differ by product and warranty level.

Understand the Coverage You Actually Have
A new roof can carry more than one warranty, and the names alone do not explain what each covers. Product and installation responsibilities need to be read separately.
The manufacturer, installing contractor or other named provider supplies the agreement that defines coverage, exclusions and the process for handling a problem.
Material and Workmanship Warranties
Workmanship coverage
Installation coverage comes from the contractor or another specifically named warranty provider. Its term, process and exclusions are separate from the material warranty.
Roof Conditions and Warranty Limits
A material warranty is not a guarantee against all leaks, storms or ordinary wear. Ventilation, deck condition, fastening and compatible details affect the installation, and the applicable terms explain how those conditions relate to coverage.
Later alterations, rooftop equipment work and repairs using incompatible materials can affect the assembly. A roof file with the installed products, work dates and repair history helps identify which terms apply when a problem develops.
When a Roof Problem Appears
The first useful step is to establish the cause and whether protection or repair is needed. A defect in material, an installation problem and a storm opening can look similar from inside the house.
