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:

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

Some warranties even combine both aspects, providing comprehensive protection for homeowners.

What Sets A-Abel’s Warranty Options Apart

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:

  • Basic Warranty: Protects you from material defects for a specific duration.
  • Premium Extended Protection: Includes extra coverage, such as resistance to wind and algae damage.

Labor warranties ensure your roof is installed to the highest standard, complementing our material warranties.



Why You Should Register Your Roof Warranty

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

  • Longer Warranty Period: Registering your warranty can provide extended coverage and better terms.
  • Proof of Ownership: Registration simplifies the claims process by verifying your eligibility.

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

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 notification can apply when transferring the warranty.
  • Time limits often apply, such as needing to transfer within the first year.

To ensure the warranty’s value is preserved, discuss transfer details with your contractor.
