Overview

Where a warranty stops and a claim starts

The word most homeowners get caught by is lifetime. A limited-lifetime material warranty usually means full, non-prorated coverage for an initial window, commonly around the first decade, after which it steps down on a schedule and pays a shrinking share of the material cost. None of it covers labor unless a separate program was registered at installation.

Picture a street where every roof went on in the same season around 2011. Fifteen years later one house has shingles curling at the edge of one slope and the neighbor has none. That is ventilation, or a fastener line set wrong, or a valley that never shed properly. The material warranty will not pay for it, because the failure traces to the install.

The signature that fails you first

Both warranties exist and both are worth having. They are backed by different parties, they cover different failures, and they fail in different ways.

Workmanship warranty

The shingle manufacturer

The roofer who installed it, unless a manufacturer-backed program was registered

What it covers

Defects in the material itself

How the material was put on: fasteners, flashing, valleys, penetrations

Typical term

Often ten to thirty years, or limited-lifetime with proration after an initial window

Commonly two to ten years, longer on manufacturer-backed programs

Where it leaves you

Will not pay when the failure traces to the installation

Worth what the company behind it is worth in five years

Two warranties, two different signatures

These are the lines to ask about. Which of them a roofer will commit to on the contract is itself an answer.

Which of the two warranties each promise belongs to, named separately and not blended into one number
The workmanship term in years, and what happens to it if the company changes hands or closes
Whether a manufacturer-backed program is being registered, and who files that registration
What voids it: unpermitted work, later installations through the roof surface, ventilation left out of spec
Whether the coverage is transferable if the house sells, and what that transfer requires

Questions

Why a warranty rarely answers hail

Q1Does any roof warranty cover hail?

No. Storm damage is an insurance question, not a warranty question, and the two get confused constantly. A material warranty covers defects in the product and a workmanship warranty covers the installation. Hail is neither: it is an outside force acting on a roof that was fine before it landed.

Q2My roof is about fifteen years old. Is the warranty still worth anything?

Possibly, and the answer turns on which window you are in. A limited-lifetime material warranty is usually past its non-prorated period by then, so a paid claim would cover a share of material and no labor. The workmanship term on a standard install has often run out at that age. Our roofer reads both against your documents before you assume either way.

Q3What actually voids a roof warranty?

Most often it is something done after the roof went on: a satellite dish or solar mount fastened through the shingles, unpermitted work, a repair by somebody outside the terms, or ventilation that never met the manufacturer's spec. Some of it is done by homeowners with no idea it matters, which is why our roofer raises it before anyone drills into a roof.

Q4Is a longer warranty a better roofer?

Not on its own. A long workmanship term from a company two years old is a promise with no track record behind it, and it is worth exactly what the company is worth when you need it. The term length matters less than who backs it and whether it is written down.

Q5Does Aubrey Roofing Co warranty the work?

No, and nobody here should imply otherwise. The material warranty belongs to the manufacturer and the workmanship warranty belongs to our roofer who does the work, so both sets of terms come from them and go on the contract before anything starts.

Before anything is signed

Get your Aubrey roof warranty in writing

Send the address and a local roofer walks the roof and photographs what is up there, so the conversation about terms starts from your own slopes instead of a brochure. Ask for both warranty terms on the contract before the work is scheduled, and take the time to think it over.
