In the roofing industry there are two types of roof warranties. The first is the manufactures material warranty it’s based on mostly issues with production of the construction material used. The other is the New York roofing contractor’s workmanship warranty. This warranty is based on the labor and installation of the materials used on the roof.
Material Warranty:
When it comes to roof shingle material roof warranties most manufacturers will warranty their products from 25 years to 50 years. What most homeowners don’t realize is for the most part these are prorated warranties. Meaning after an initial 5 to 10 year period the coverage is reduced on a yearly basis. With these roof warranties labor costs to fix a defective shingle are not always covered. Also as a GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor we are able to provide a homeowner with an enhanced 100% material warranty. This warranty is called a Systems Plus Warranty that covers labor costs also for up to 50 years.
If your roof fails at any time during the 50 year warranty period GAF will cover all costs to fix or replace your Nassau/Suffolk County roof. Furthermore it would Include all materials, dump fees, and labor costs. This is a warranty that most contractors are not eligible or willing to offer.
Workmanship Warranty:
98% of the time if there is problem with a roof system it is usually a workmanship error. Also most roofers will stand behind his or her workmanship for 1 to 10 years. Unfortunately in this industry a lot of times that roofer won’t be in business for that amount of time. For the most part a lot of the problems that happen with a roof could have been avoided if corners had not been cut when the roof was being installed. With over 20 years in business and with the practices of not cutting corners the way most “roofers” do. Roof Pros workmanship and roof warranties are “true roof warranties”.
As a GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor we are also able to give a GAF Golden Pledge Warranty. After your roof system is completed we will schedule an inspection by a GAF rep. A GAF representative will come out to do a 42 point inspection of the roof to make sure the roof installation is up to all manufactures standards. Items included in inspection are shingle nailing, drip edge installation, ventilation, flashings, chimney crickets and many, many more. If the inspection score is anything lower than a “perfect 10” we are responsible to make any adjustments giving us accountability.
Upon the “perfect 10” GAF will stand behind our workmanship for 25 years as well as 50 years full coverage on materials transferable to the next homeowner.
