Different Types of Roof Warranties

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: Provided by the manufacturer, these cover defects in the roofing materials, such as shingles or underlayment.
  • Workmanship Warranties: Offered by roofing contractors, these cover issues related to the installation process.

There are warranties that combine both types, offering complete protection for your roof and peace of mind.

A-Abel Roofing’s Warranty Plans

At A-Abel Roofing, we pride ourselves on offering robust warranty options to give you peace of mind. As certified installers of Owens Corning shingles, we provide access to premium material warranties, including:

  • Standard Material Protection: A standard protection plan that covers material defects for a specified time.
  • Extended Warranties: Includes extra coverage, such as resistance to wind and algae damage.

In addition to these material warranties, we offer labor warranties to ensure proper installation and top-quality results.



The Value of Registering Your Warranty

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

  • Extended Coverage: Registering your warranty can provide extended coverage and better terms.
  • Verification of Ownership: Registration simplifies the claims process by verifying your eligibility.

A-Abel Roofing helps you handle the registration process so you can maximize your warranty’s advantages.

Transferring Warranties to New Homeowners

Selling your home? A transferable warranty can be a great asset. Many warranties allow one transfer, offering security for the new owner. But be aware of conditions like:

  • Some warranties may require a fee or a formal notification for the transfer.
  • Some warranties require that the transfer be completed within a specific time frame, such as the first year.

To ensure the warranty’s value is preserved, discuss transfer details with your contractor.
