FAQs
What does your lifetime material warranty on metal roofing in Delano actually cover?
Our lifetime material warranty guarantees that the metal panels, coatings, fasteners, and factory-applied sealants will remain free from manufacturing defects such as excessive corrosion, cracking, peeling, or premature color fading for as long as the original property owner owns the home or building in Delano. If any covered component fails under normal, documented installation and service conditions, we will supply replacement material of like kind and quality at no cost.
Is the lifetime material warranty transferable if I sell my property in Delano?
Yes. We offer a one-time transfer within the first 10 years of the roof’s installation. To keep the warranty in force, the original owner must notify us in writing within 60 days of closing, submit a modest transfer fee, and provide proof of the roof’s original installation date. After transfer, the warranty remains in effect for 40 years from the installation date, giving the new owner strong long-term protection.
How does Delano’s climate impact the longevity of a metal roof under this warranty?
Delano experiences hot, dry summers, occasional high winds, and limited but intense rainfall in winter. Our warrantied Galvalume or aluminum panels come with high-performance Kynar 500® or SMP finishes that resist UV degradation and chalking common in prolonged heat. The lifetime warranty specifically addresses corrosion resistance and coating integrity, so even in Delano’s extreme heat cycles your roof remains protected against finish failure and rust for decades.
What maintenance or inspections are required to keep the lifetime warranty valid?
The warranty is low-maintenance, but owners must: 1) keep gutters and valleys clear of debris, 2) prevent dissimilar metals (copper, untreated steel) from contacting the roof, 3) avoid harsh chemical cleaners or power-washing above 500 psi, and 4) have the roof inspected by a qualified contractor every 3–5 years (or after severe weather) and keep written inspection records. Failure to follow these basic care guidelines could void coverage for related issues.
If a covered material defect is found, what is the claims process?
Contact our warranty department within 30 days of discovering the issue. Provide photos, a written description of the defect, proof of purchase, and the original installation contract. We will dispatch an authorized inspector to confirm the problem. Once approved, we will ship replacement materials within 2–4 weeks and reimburse reasonable freight costs. If the defect resulted in interior damage, your homeowner’s insurance normally covers those repairs; our warranty focuses on roofing materials themselves.
Does the lifetime material warranty include labor costs or just the metal panels?
The standard lifetime warranty covers only the replacement of defective materials. Labor to remove and reinstall panels, underlayment, or ancillary items is not included. However, we offer an optional Lifetime Labor & Material Upgrade that can be purchased at installation; it adds 25 years of workmanship coverage and pays for labor if a warranted material defect requires repairs. Ask your Delano roofing consultant for pricing on this upgrade.
