Why a Workmanship Warranty Is Essential for Your New Roof

When it’s time for a roof replacement, most homeowners focus on choosing a solid manufacturer’s warranty to cover material defects in their shingles. But is that enough to truly protect the life of your roof?

According to Tyler Scott, the answer is no. While a manufacturer’s warranty is crucial, a Workmanship Warranty is equally important to protect your investment.

Why a Workmanship Warranty Matters

“It’s normal for homeowners to worry about what happens if they have a leak after spending thousands of dollars on a roof,” says Tyler. “What many don’t realize is that there are two main reasons a leak could occur: either due to a manufacturer’s faulty product or because of poor workmanship and installation.”

While a manufacturer’s warranty covers defects in materials, it doesn’t account for installation errors. A Workmanship Warranty provides homeowners with protection against mistakes made during the installation process that could lead to premature roof failure.

The Scott’s Roofing Difference

At Scott’s Roofing, every roof replacement comes with both types of protection. In addition to offering warranties for top-tier shingles from leading manufacturers, the company includes a 10-year Workmanship Warranty with every project.

This commitment to quality doesn’t stop there. As a Platinum Preferred Contractor, Scott’s Roofing can also provide up to a 25-year manufacturer-backed workmanship warranty.

Beware of Industry Pitfalls

Sadly, the roofing industry isn’t without its challenges. Tyler points out that many companies change names, get bought out, or go out of business altogether, leaving homeowners with invalid workmanship warranties.

“Many of the new companies don’t take responsibility for the previous company’s workmanship warranties,” he explains. “This makes it even more important to work with a roofing company that has a long-standing reputation for reliability.”
