Types of Roof Warranties

It’s essential to understand roof warranty options when installing a new roof. Typically, there are two main types of roof warranties to consider:

  • Manufacturer Warranties: Offered by the manufacturer, these warranties cover material defects such as issues with shingles or underlayment.
  • Labor and Installation Warranties: Offered by roofing contractors, these cover issues related to the installation process.

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

A-Abel’s Warranty Options

We offer top-tier warranty options at A-Abel Roofing, with certified Owens Corning shingles. These warranties include:

  • Basic Material Warranty: This warranty covers material defects for a set period.
  • Extended Protection Plans: This warranty offers additional coverage, including wind damage and resistance to algae growth.

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



Why Registering Your Warranty is Crucial

Homeowners often need to register their warranties after installation. This registration can bring additional perks, such as:

  • Longer Warranty Period: Extended coverage is often available once you register your warranty.
  • Proof of Purchase: By registering, you streamline the claims process and prove ownership.

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

How to Transfer Roof Warranties to New Owners

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:

  • There may be transfer fees or required notifications to complete the process.
  • Time limits, such as transferring within the first year of homeownership.

Work with your contractor to make sure the transfer process goes smoothly and the warranty holds its value.
