FAQs
What is a transferable roofing warranty and why is it important for Cumberland Gap homeowners?
A transferable roofing warranty is a written guarantee that the workmanship and/or roofing materials will be covered for a stated period even after the home is sold. When the property changes hands, the remaining warranty protection can be transferred—usually with minimal paperwork—to the new owner. In Cumberland Gap, where heavy rains, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate roof wear, a transferable warranty adds tangible resale value and peace of mind for both current and future homeowners.
Are your warranties automatically transferable if I decide to sell my house?
Yes. Our standard workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s material warranty are both transferable one time at no extra cost when you sell your Cumberland Gap property. All we require is written notice within 60 days of closing along with the buyer’s contact information. We then issue an updated certificate showing the new owner as the warranty holder.
What coverage does the new homeowner receive after the warranty is transferred?
The new owner receives the identical remaining coverage you had—no prorating or hidden exclusions. That means they inherit full protection against leaks caused by installation errors (workmanship warranty) and against premature shingle failure, wind uplift, or manufacturing defects (material warranty) for the balance of the original term.
Will skipping a routine roof inspection void my warranty?
It can. Both our workmanship and most leading manufacturers’ warranties require basic maintenance: (1) an inspection at least once every 12 months and (2) immediate repair of storm damage. If inspections are neglected and damage that could have been corrected early grows into a larger issue, the warranty may be voided for that portion of the roof.
How often should I schedule roof inspections in Cumberland Gap’s climate?
We recommend twice a year—once each spring and fall—plus an extra inspection after any severe storm bringing hail or wind gusts above 50 mph. Seasonal temperature swings and mountain-ridge winds common to Cumberland Gap make semi-annual checks the best way to catch small problems before they escalate and jeopardize your warranty coverage.
What steps are involved in your professional roof inspection and how long does it take?
A typical inspection lasts 60–90 minutes for an average-sized home. Our HAAG-certified technician will: 1) photograph and document shingle condition, flashing, vents, and penetrations; 2) inspect gutters, downspouts, and fascia; 3) check attic insulation, ventilation, and signs of moisture intrusion; 4) look for hail splatter or wind-lifted edges; 5) provide a written report with recommendations. If any minor maintenance is needed to keep the warranty in force, we quote it on the spot.
