Understanding the Different Roof Warranty Options

Before purchasing a new roof, it’s important to know the warranty options. Roof warranties generally come in two main types:

  • Product Warranties: Offered by the manufacturer, these warranties cover material defects such as issues with shingles or underlayment.
  • Labor Warranties: These warranties are provided by contractors and cover issues arising from the installation process.

Certain warranties combine both material and labor coverage, offering full protection for homeowners.

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 Warranty: A standard protection plan that covers material defects for a specified time.
  • Extended Protection Plans: Additional protection options, such as wind and algae resistance, are included in these extended warranties.

Our labor warranties pair perfectly with these options, ensuring the installation is flawless and up to our high standards.



Maximizing Your Roof Warranty Through Registration

After installation, many manufacturers ask homeowners to register their warranties. This provides added benefits such as:

  • Longer Warranty Period: Registration can extend coverage, offering enhanced terms.
  • Verification of Ownership: By registering, you streamline the claims process and prove ownership.

We assist with the registration process to ensure you get the full benefit of your warranty.

How to Transfer Roof Warranties to New Owners

A transferable roof warranty is a valuable selling point when moving homes. Many warranties offer a one-time transfer option, providing peace of mind for the new owner. However, there are conditions, including:

  • Transfer fees or required notifications.
  • Many warranties set a time limit for transfer, such as within one year.

Talking with your contractor about the transfer process will help protect your warranty’s value.
