Why Workmanship Warranty Is Important When Selecting A Roofing Contractor

March 1, 2021

Roofer builder worker on a building employed by a Roofing ContractorA workmanship warranty is a way to reduce your risk during a roof repair, replacement or new installation. Without a reliable warranty, you may be responsible for expensive costs related to the improper installation of your roof. You should shy away from hiring any roofing contractor that does not offer a workmanship warranty.

While there are other factors to consider as well, finding a roofing contractor with a reliable workmanship warranty (and manufacturer warranty) is a great first step to ensuring your roof is properly repaired or replaced. The following is a review of why a workmanship warranty is important and what to look for in your workmanship warranty.

Why Is A Workmanship Warranty Important?

A workmanship warranty covers you from any installation errors. New roof installation is a complex job that requires a lot of workmanship (skill). A roof that is not properly installed could cause problems within a year after the job is complete.

This could lead to expensive roof repair or roof replacement costs to correct the error(s) and any damage that may have resulted from the improper installation.

What To Look For In Your Workmanship Warranty

Every workmanship warranty is different. It is important to understand what your workmanship warranty covers, how long it lasts and what the differences are between a workmanship and manufacturer warranty.

By learning about these elements of a workmanship warranty, you can ensure you are adequately protected if something were to occur during the installation process or if errors are noticed months after the installation is complete.

What The Workmanship Warranty Covers

Hand Writing an Estimate from a Roofing ContractorYour workmanship warranty may not cover everything. It is vital to determine precisely what is and what is not covered in your warranty before signing it. If there are any common errors that are not included in the workmanship warranty (i.e., roof leaks), then having these added into the coverage is important. The ideal workmanship warranty should cover a broad range of common roof issues that could result from the contractor’s installation.

How Much The Workmanship Warranty Covers

Most workmanship warranties only cover up to a certain amount. If the amount is lower than you would like, then you could potentially negotiate a higher limit. In any case, understanding the warranty coverage limits allows you to plan accordingly and know the risks that you possess and what the contractor is responsible for if an error were to occur during installation.

How Long The Workmanship Warranty Lasts

The average workmanship warranty lasts for about a year, but it can be much shorter or much longer than this. It is best to opt for the longest warranty coverage that you can reasonably afford. This is because many installation errors are not noticed right away. You may not detect there is a problem until the first storm hits, which could be months after installation.

Workmanship Warranty Vs. Manufacturer Warranty

A workmanship warranty is often confused with a manufacturer warranty. However, the two are completely different. A workmanship warranty covers errors related to the installation of the roof. A manufacturer warranty primarily covers the building materials.

A workmanship warranty does not cover materials and a manufacturer warranty does not cover the workmanship, so often both are required for optimal financial protection. Another way to view it is that the workmanship warranty refers to the labor involved, whereas a manufacturer warranty refers to the materials used on the roof.

Questions To Ask The Contractor Before Signing A Warranty

Qualified workman in uniform working as a Roofing ContractorIt is helpful to prepare a list of questions to ask the contractor before you sign the warranty. This helps you remember all of the important elements that go into a workmanship warranty. Good questions to ask the contractor before signing include:

  • Am I receiving a workmanship or manufacturer warranty?
  • How long will the workmanship warranty last?
  • What damages are included in the warranty?
  • Does the workmanship warranty include indoor damages?
  • How can I maintain my roof so I don’t void my warranty?

Of course, these are just example questions, and you should feel free to ask whatever is important to you. If the roofing contractor you are considering does not offer a reliable workmanship warranty, then you should consider looking at other contractors to handle the project. Otherwise, you could be responsible for costly damage repairs due to installation errors.

We hired Adelphi Exteriors to replace our roof, siding, and gutters for our house and could not be happier with their... great work. They were very professional, thorough and the work was done in a timely manner. They are a family owned business that we found though a friend who has used them multiple times. I would highly recommend them. We are also planing to use them to replace our windows in the future.UPDATE!!! Our windows have now been replaced and I am still just as happy with their service. I have also requested a quote for painting in the future.read more

This company is great! I had quotes by three different companies to replace windows, paint our brick, install new... siding, install new doors, install new gutters/down spouts, plus add new insulation! Adelphia was the only company I contacted for an estimate that would take care of all my needs with one contract. This is a family owned company that has been extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Our initial appointment was with George, who wrote the estimate, the contract, and was our main point of contact; Vickie (mom) runs the office and frequently coordinated with me by phone; and Nick (dad) founded the business in the 1980s and oversaw the painting. The painting is second to none. multiple coats with the highest quality materials looks beautiful! Next came the exterior siding. We wanted to replace our original siding and decided to change it to vinyl shake! You can see the results in the before and after photos. We are thrilled with the results! The replacement doors and windows were installed efficiently and are so beautiful. We selected Adelphia based on their competitive pricing and excellent reviews on Angie's List and Yelp. George worked with us at every step along the way to make sure we were satisfied. The contractors that Adelphia use are careful, professional, punctual, and do excellent work! The original contract included a thank you note by George that said they were determined to exceed our expectations, well, they delivered! I highly recommend Adelphia Exteriors for their value, workmanship, and personal attentiveness.read more

They were wonderful. Prior to signing up with them, we met with multiple other companies who tried to hard sell us into... signing the same day to receive a discount. When George walked into my house I immediately told him we would not be signing on day one, and he laughed and said no problem! He was so agreeable and so easy to work with and the fact that he comes from a family business, I just had a good feeling about them. Not once did he try to hard sell us and pressure us to close, he gave us plenty of time to ask lots of questions and visit a show room in order for us to make our decision. They just finished installing some amazing windows, approximately 25, and a brand new front door. We are absolutely thrilled with the product and the quality of their installation and cleanup. They are a good company to work with! And I would not hesitate to use them again!read more

We hired Adelphia Exteriors for our Exterior Painting Project and we are very happy with the finished product. Rob... provided the estimate within one business day. Viki promptly and kindly helped us to schedule the start date after our project was delayed because of weather. Nick visited the job site to make sure all the exterior colors accurately matched the existing colors. Nick made sure all the areas that required maintenance painting were carefully addressed. He even replaced our house numbers which was a way better option than painting them. He also meticulously worked with Diego to reinstall two shutters that were already partially detached. Diego and his painting team did an amazing job painting all our exterior brick, porch, garage frame and metal light fixtures. They were very detailed in their painting services and professional. Again, we are very pleased with the results.read more

From our initial consultation with Rob until the job was completed, our experience with Adelphia Exteriors was great! ... Rob was very easy to talk to, made sure we understood all our options and answered all our questions. There was absolutely ZERO pressure and no attempt to upsell us on anything. The install of our 19 windows was done in one day, the crew was on time and did a great job. We couldn't be happier with the windows and would recommend Adelphia without hesitation.read more

I contracted Adelphia to paint my living room, dining room and a hallway. The two tradesmen arrived exactly on time on... the first day and prepared the areas. They filled holes, repaired a long crack on the ceiling and two on one of the walls then painted the ceiling. They came back on time the next day to add a second coat of paint on the ceilings and the paint the walls and trim. The painters were courteous, polite and worked hard with just a short lunch break both days. Their clean up was excellent and the job was outstanding. This is the second time and in both instances my wife and I were very pleased. I would not hesitate in recommending them.read more
