FAQs
What does a lifetime material warranty cover on a roof replacement in Huntland?
A lifetime material warranty typically guarantees that the shingles or other roofing materials installed on your Huntland home will be free from manufacturing defects for as long as you own the property. If a covered defect causes the roofing product to fail—such as premature cracking, granule loss, or blistering—the manufacturer will supply replacement materials (and, in many cases, the labor costs) needed to correct the problem in accordance with the terms of the warranty.
How long is “lifetime” in a lifetime material warranty?
In roofing, “lifetime” usually means the length of time the original property owner owns the home where the roof was installed. Most manufacturers define it as the original purchaser’s ownership period, up to 50 years. If you sell your Huntland home, the warranty typically converts to a prorated period for the next owner (often 10–15 years), unless the warranty specifically states it is fully transferable.
Is the lifetime material warranty transferable if I sell my Huntland property?
Many lifetime material warranties are transferable once within a specified time frame (commonly within the first 10–15 years after installation). You must notify the manufacturer in writing and pay a small transfer fee, if required. After transfer, the warranty may convert from non-prorated to prorated coverage for the new owner. Always review the warranty documents or contact the roofing contractor to confirm the exact transfer conditions.
Does the lifetime material warranty also cover workmanship or labor costs?
A material warranty primarily covers the cost of replacement materials that prove defective. Labor coverage varies by manufacturer and product tier. Some premium lifetime warranties include limited labor reimbursement for repairs or re-installation during an initial non-prorated period (e.g., the first 10 years). For complete labor/installation protection, homeowners in Huntland should also secure a separate workmanship warranty from their roofing contractor.
What can void my lifetime material warranty on a new roof in Huntland?
Common factors that can void or limit warranty coverage include improper installation, inadequate ventilation, use of non-approved accessories, roof alterations (satellite dishes, skylights) performed incorrectly, and neglect (e.g., failing to remove debris, moss, or ice dams). Severe weather events outside the warranty’s stated wind or impact limits can also be excluded. Always follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines and work with certified installers to keep your warranty intact.
How do I file a warranty claim if I suspect defective materials?
Start by contacting the roofing contractor that installed your roof—they can inspect the issue and help gather documentation such as photos, shingle samples, and proof of purchase. If the contractor is unavailable, contact the manufacturer’s warranty department directly. Submit all required forms, receipts, and inspection reports. The manufacturer will review your claim, may send a field representative to verify the defect, and—if approved—will arrange material replacement and any applicable labor reimbursement under the warranty terms.
