Exploring the Types of Roof Warranties

Before making your roofing decision, understanding available warranties is key. Roof warranties generally come in two forms:

  • Material Warranties: Provided by the manufacturer, these cover defects in the roofing materials, such as shingles or underlayment.
  • Installation Warranties: Offered by roofing contractors, these cover issues related to the installation process.

There are warranties that combine both types, offering complete protection for your roof and peace of mind.

Our Warranty Options at A-Abel Roofing

A-Abel Roofing offers solid warranty options to protect your roof. As certified installers of Owens Corning shingles, we provide access to premium warranties, such as:

  • Basic Material Warranty: Covers material defects for a specified duration.
  • Extended Warranties: This warranty offers additional coverage, including wind damage and resistance to algae growth.

Labor warranties ensure your roof is installed to the highest standard, complementing our material warranties.



Why You Should Register Your Roof Warranty

After installation, many manufacturers ask homeowners to register their warranties. This provides added benefits such as:

  • Extended Coverage: Some warranties provide enhanced terms upon registration.
  • Ownership Confirmation: By registering, you streamline the claims process and prove ownership.

A-Abel Roofing helps you handle the registration process so you can maximize your warranty’s advantages.

Transferring Warranties to New Homeowners

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:

  • Transfer fees or required notification can apply when transferring the warranty.
  • Time restrictions, such as transferring within a year, may apply to your warranty.

Consulting your contractor about the transfer process can ensure it goes smoothly and maintains the warranty’s value.
