Roof Replacement and Warranties
Replacing roofs is an expensive business. You could spend thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars for the new supplies and labor. Let alone, the money you spend in sheer effort trying to find the right roofer. Some people have to take time off work just so they can make consultations and estimate appointments with contractors.
Plus,
finding the right contractor can be a hassle. You don’t know which company to trust when you are receiving wildly different estimates. One contractor cuts down on labor costs but raises the prices of the supplies that your home or business will need. Another company has high labor costs but can get you the shingles at a discount.
Then there is the frustrating process of determining which kind of roofs are in your price range and are right for your project. Shingle versus metal and aluminum versus asphalt can all just be mind boggling after awhile.
You can save yourself from all of this hassle just by purchasing a warranty with your roof.Roof replacement will then be covered for future projects. You won’t have to spend money on replacing the roof within a few years. No time will be wasted as you choose a contractor and your roofing style will already be determined.
A roof replacement warranty can work in a number of ways depending on the type of warranty offered by your contractor of choice. Some contractors will offer a full roof replacement warranty, which is extremely ideal. If for whatever reason, your roof begins to leak or show wear within the first few years of its existence, they will replace it at no cost to you.
Some warranties act as coupons. They will offer you a certain dollar amount off your net roofing project. These warranties are sometimes offered through the roofing contractor, while the other full-scale warranties are maintained through the roofing supply provider.
Your contractor and perhaps insurance adjustor will determine whether or not you qualify for a warranty covered roofing project. You will have to have an estimate of damages done and determination of the causes of the damage. Usually, if it can be proven that the reason for the roofing damage was faulty shingles or other supplies, then you should have no difficult fulfilling the warranty.
The warranties can also vary from manufacturer to manufacturer depending on the type of roofing you purchase. Some roofs are under warranty for a much longer time then others so check for those terms when you first have your home roofing done.
Whatever you find out regarding warranties, having a roof replacement plan is an important thing for your home or business. You want to be as prepared as possible.
