Different Types of Roof Warranties

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

  • Warranties for Roofing Materials: These warranties are provided by the manufacturer to cover defects in roofing materials like shingles and underlayment.
  • Workmanship Warranties: These warranties are provided by contractors and cover issues arising from the installation process.

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

What Sets A-Abel’s Warranty Options Apart

At A-Abel Roofing, we’re committed to providing peace of mind with our comprehensive warranty options. As certified installers of Owens Corning shingles, we offer premium material warranties, including:

  • Basic Warranty: A standard warranty that covers material defects over a defined time frame.
  • Extended Warranties: Includes additional protection, such as wind damage or algae resistance.

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



The Importance of Registered Warranties

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

  • Additional Coverage: Registration can extend coverage, offering enhanced terms.
  • Ownership Confirmation: By registering, you streamline the claims process and prove ownership.

Our team will guide you through the registration process to ensure you receive all available benefits.

Transferring Warranties to New Homeowners

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:

  • Some warranties may require a fee or a formal notification for the transfer.
  • Time limits often apply, such as needing to transfer within the first year.

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