Exploring the 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:

  • Material Coverage Warranties: Offered by the manufacturer, these warranties cover material defects such as issues with shingles or underlayment.
  • Installation Warranties: Labor warranties cover installation issues and are offered by the roofing professionals.

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

Our Warranty Options at A-Abel Roofing

A-Abel Roofing offers solid warranty options to protect your roof. As certified installers of Owens Corning shingles, we provide access to premium warranties, such as:

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



Why You Should Register Your Roof Warranty

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

  • Extended Coverage: Registration can extend coverage, offering enhanced terms.
  • Proof of Purchase: Proof of ownership helps streamline the warranty claims process.

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

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:

  • Transfer fees and notification requirements are common when transferring warranties.
  • Some warranties require that the transfer be completed within a specific time frame, such as the first year.

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