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:

  • Material Coverage Warranties: Issued by the manufacturer, these warranties cover defects in materials like shingles or underlayment.
  • Workmanship Warranties: Provided by the roofing contractor, these warranties address any problems from the installation process.

In some cases, warranties combine both material and labor protection, giving you all-around coverage.

A-Abel Roofing’s Warranty Plans

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:

  • Essential Warranty: A standard warranty that covers material defects over a defined time frame.
  • Enhanced Warranty Options: This warranty offers additional coverage, including wind damage and resistance to algae growth.

In addition to these material warranties, we offer labor warranties to ensure proper installation and top-quality results.



The Value of Registering Your Warranty

For many warranties, registration is required and provides added value, such as:

  • More Coverage: Registration can extend coverage, offering enhanced terms.
  • Proof of Purchase: This process makes claims easier by proving your eligibility.

At A-Abel Roofing, we help you navigate the registration process to maximize your warranty benefits.

Warranties and Home Sales: Transferring Coverage

Selling your home? A transferable warranty can be a great asset. Many warranties allow one transfer, offering security for the new owner. But be aware of conditions like:

  • There may be transfer fees or required notifications to complete the process.
  • Many warranties set a time limit for transfer, such as within one year.

Talking with your contractor about the transfer process will help protect your warranty’s value.
