At All Weather Systems, we know that investing in a commercial or industrial roof is a major decision. You want to be confident that your new roofing system will last—and that you’re protected if something goes wrong. That’s where roofing warranties come in.
However, not all warranties are created equal. To help you make an informed decision, our team is breaking down the different types of roofing warranties, what they cover, and why they matter.
Why Roofing Warranties Matter
Warranties protect your investment. They offer peace of mind by covering materials, workmanship, or both—depending on the warranty type. They also show that a manufacturer and contractor are willing to stand behind their product and installation.
But you shouldn’t assume every warranty offers the same protection. You need to understand the fine print before signing any roofing contract.
Common Types of Roofing Warranties
When it comes to commercial and industrial roofing, there are three primary types of roofing warranties you should know about:
- Manufacturer’s Material Warranty
This warranty covers defects in the roofing materials. If the membrane or components fail early due to manufacturing issues, you may qualify for a replacement. However, it doesn’t cover installation errors or damage from weather events. - Workmanship Warranty (Contractor’s Warranty)
This type covers installation issues. Our team at All Weather Systems offers a workmanship warranty with every roof we install. If we install something incorrectly, we’ll fix it—simple as that. - Full System Warranty
This is the most comprehensive. It covers both materials and workmanship and often includes flashing, insulation, and accessories. Some even include coverage for ponding water or accidental damage, depending on the manufacturer.
What to Look for in a Roofing Warranty
Before committing to a roofing project, we recommend reviewing the warranty closely. Here are a few key items to watch:
- Length of Coverage – Some warranties last 10 years. Others go up to 30. Know what you’re getting.
- Coverage Limits – Make sure you understand what’s excluded. For example, many warranties won’t cover storm damage or neglect.
- Maintenance Requirements – Some warranties require regular inspections. Skipping these could void your coverage.
- Transferability – If you sell the property, can the warranty transfer to the new owner? That can boost your property’s value.
Our team is happy to walk you through these details and ensure you know exactly what your warranty includes.
