FAQs
What is a workmanship warranty for roof repair and how is it different from a manufacturer’s material warranty?
A workmanship warranty is our written promise that every aspect of the labor we perform on your Deer Lodge roof—tear-offs, decking repairs, flashing, shingle installation, ventilation adjustments, and cleanup—meets or exceeds local code and our own high standards. If a leak, wind uplift, or any other problem occurs because we installed something incorrectly, we will correct it at no cost to you. A manufacturer’s material warranty, by contrast, only covers factory defects in shingles, underlayment, or other products. In short, material warranties protect you against bad products, while our workmanship warranty protects you against installation errors.
How long does your workmanship warranty last for roof repairs in Deer Lodge?
For most roof repairs we provide a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty, one of the longest in Powell County. If we are tying in new material to an existing roof that is near the end of its service life, we may recommend a shorter term that aligns with the roof’s remaining expectancy, but we will always state the exact length on your written contract before work begins.
What specific problems are covered under your workmanship warranty?
Any leak, shingle blow-off, flashing separation, fastener back-out, or ventilation issue that can be traced to how we performed the repair is covered. This includes defects in valley metal installation, chimney or skylight flashing, ice-and-water shield placement, and improper nail patterns. If we touched it and it fails because of our labor, we will fix it or replace it free of charge, including related interior water-damage repairs up to $1,500 per incident.
What situations would void the workmanship warranty on my roof repair?
The warranty does not apply if (1) another contractor or homeowner alters the repaired area, (2) storm events exceed 60-mph winds or deposit more than 2 inches of hail, (3) debris buildup, moss growth, or improper attic insulation causes moisture damage, or (4) you fail to follow maintenance guidelines, such as annual gutter cleaning. We document the finished work with photos so it’s easy to determine whether later changes were made.
How do I make a claim if I see a leak or problem during the warranty period?
Call our local Deer Lodge office at 406-555-ROOF or submit the online warranty form. We respond within one business day and schedule an on-site inspection within 72 hours. If the issue is workmanship-related, repairs are completed within seven days, weather permitting. You will receive before-and-after photos and a written service report for your records.
Is the workmanship warranty transferable if I sell my home in Deer Lodge?
Yes. The warranty may be transferred one time at no cost within 30 days of title transfer. Simply provide us with the buyer’s contact information and closing date, and we will re-issue the warranty certificate in the new owner’s name. A transferable warranty can add resale value by assuring buyers the roof repair was done correctly and is still protected.
