FAQs
What is a transferable roofing warranty?
A transferable roofing warranty is a manufacturer- and/or contractor-backed guarantee that covers specific materials and workmanship on your new roof and can be legally reassigned to the next property owner if you sell your Andersonville home. This feature adds resale value because the buyer inherits the same protection you received when the roof was installed.
How do I transfer the warranty if I sell my home?
The process is simple: 1) Notify us and the shingle manufacturer within 60 days of closing. 2) Complete the one-page transfer form we supply. 3) Pay the small administrative fee (usually $75–$150, set by the manufacturer). Once the paperwork is filed, the new homeowner receives written confirmation that the warranty is now in their name and remains in force for the remaining term.
What does the transferable warranty cover and how long does it last?
Our standard transferable warranty combines lifetime (50-year) limited coverage on shingles against manufacturing defects with a 10-year workmanship guarantee on the labor we provide. It covers leaks caused by material failure, improper installation, and high-wind damage up to the stated wind rating. Accessories such as flashing, underlayment, and ridge vents are also included when installed by our certified crew.
Is there any cost or additional paperwork for the buyer after the transfer?
Beyond the one-time transfer fee, the new homeowner owes nothing. They simply need to keep the transfer confirmation and the original warranty certificate in case a claim arises. No annual maintenance fees apply, but routine inspections (every 2–3 years) are recommended to document roof condition and maintain coverage integrity.
How does Andersonville’s climate affect my roof and the warranty?
Andersonville’s humid subtropical climate brings heavy rain, high summer UV exposure, and the occasional severe storm or tornado watch. Our roofing systems are specified with algae-resistant shingles, synthetic underlayment, and class H wind ratings (up to 130 mph) to meet local building code and manufacturer standards. Following these guidelines ensures that weather-related issues remain covered under the warranty rather than being classified as improper installation or maintenance.
What can void or limit my transferable warranty?
The most common causes are: (1) unauthorized repairs or roof penetrations for satellite dishes, solar panels, or HVAC lines; (2) inadequate attic ventilation leading to heat/moisture buildup; (3) pressure washing with harsh chemicals; and (4) failure to transfer the warranty within the required time frame. Always call us first for any modifications or repairs to keep the warranty fully valid.
