FAQs
What does it mean when a Pelham roofing contractor is "manufacturer-certified"?
A manufacturer-certified roofer has completed factory-approved training, met strict workmanship standards, and maintains ongoing quality audits by the shingle or membrane manufacturer. In Pelham, this status allows us to offer enhanced product warranties, ensures we follow manufacturer-specified installation methods, and confirms we carry the required insurance and licensing for Alabama.
Why should I choose a certified roofer over a non-certified one?
Manufacturer certifications protect you on three fronts: (1) verified training—installers know the exact fastening patterns, ventilation ratios, and flashing details the brand requires; (2) stronger warranties—many brands extend 25-to-50-year material and 10-to-25-year workmanship coverage when a certified company performs the work; and (3) faster warranty claims—manufacturers give priority service to projects installed by their certified partners.
Which roofing manufacturers have certified your Pelham team?
We hold top-tier credentials with GAF (Master Elite®), CertainTeed (SELECT ShingleMaster™), Owens Corning (Preferred Contractor), and Atlas (Pro+ Platinum Level). These programs collectively cover asphalt shingles, designer shingles, low-slope modified bitumen, and synthetic underlayments—allowing us to match the ideal system to Pelham’s humid subtropical climate.
Do manufacturer certifications affect the cost of my new roof?
A certified installation can appear slightly higher in upfront cost because it includes premium components (starter strips, ridge caps, ice-and-water barriers) required for extended warranties. However, the total life-cycle cost is lower: you receive longer coverage, fewer repair incidents, and potential insurance discounts for "Fortified Roof" upgrades recognized by many Alabama carriers.
How do certified roofers ensure my warranty remains valid?
Our team photographs every critical step, files the manufacturer registration within days of completion, and leaves you with a digital and printed warranty packet. We also offer free annual inspections for the first five years to document condition, perform minor sealant touch-ups, and confirm ventilation is unobstructed—actions required by most manufacturers for warranty integrity.
Can you assist with insurance claims for storm damage in Pelham?
Yes. Because manufacturers trust our certified status, insurers often accept our damage reports without a second adjuster visit. We meet onsite with your adjuster, provide moisture-mapping and uplift testing data, and prepare a code-compliant repair or replacement estimate that follows both manufacturer specs and Pelham building ordinances. This streamlines approvals and gets your roof restored faster and correctly.
