FAQs
What exactly is covered under a manufacturer’s roofing warranty in Sequatchie?
A manufacturer’s warranty generally covers defects in the roofing materials themselves—shingles, metal panels, membranes, underlayment, or accessory components. If the product fails prematurely due to a manufacturing flaw (for example, granule loss, blistering, cracking, or corrosion) the manufacturer will replace or reimburse the defective materials. Most warranties do not cover damage caused by improper installation, severe weather events (hail, tornadoes, high winds), foot traffic, or lack of maintenance, so it is important to pair the manufacturer warranty with a workmanship warranty from a qualified Sequatchie roofing contractor.
How long does a typical manufacturer’s roofing warranty last in our area?
Standard asphalt-shingle warranties run 20–30 years, metal roofing warranties often span 30–50 years, and premium systems like standing-seam metal or high-end synthetics can carry limited lifetime coverage. Because Sequatchie experiences hot, humid summers and occasional freezing winters, some manufacturers offer upgraded “enhanced” coverage that extends full protection (both materials and labor) for the first 10–15 years before transitioning to prorated coverage. Always read the term sheet to confirm the exact duration and any climate-specific stipulations.
Which roofing products qualify for manufacturer warranty protection?
Most major brands provide warranties on certified product lines—architectural asphalt shingles, impact-resistant shingles, metal panels, single-ply membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC), synthetic slate, and roof ventilation accessories. To remain eligible, the materials must be installed per the manufacturer’s written specifications, use approved fasteners and underlayment, and often be registered with the manufacturer within 30–60 days of installation. Using off-brand components or mixing product lines can void the warranty, so ask your Sequatchie roofing professional for a complete, compatible system.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty cover labor costs for roof repairs or replacement?
Entry-level warranties only cover replacement materials, leaving you responsible for tear-off and re-installation costs. However, many manufacturers sell optional “system” or “gold” warranties that include labor for a defined non-prorated period (usually 5–25 years). If you want full labor coverage, confirm that your Sequatchie installer is certified by the manufacturer—labor coverage is typically void if an uncertified contractor performs the work.
How do I file a warranty claim if my roof develops problems?
1) Inspect and document the issue with dated photos and notes. 2) Contact the local contractor who installed the roof; they can confirm whether it’s likely a material defect or another cause. 3) Obtain your proof of purchase, warranty registration number, and installation records. 4) Submit a claim via the manufacturer’s online portal or by mail, including all documentation. 5) A manufacturer’s inspector or third-party adjuster will visit your Sequatchie property to evaluate the roof. If approved, the manufacturer will either ship replacement materials or authorize your contractor to perform repairs. Processing can take 2–6 weeks, so file promptly.
Will using a local Sequatchie roofing contractor affect my manufacturer’s warranty?
Yes. Manufacturers often require installation by a contractor who has completed their certification or training program. Hiring a certified local roofer ensures your roof is installed to factory specs and maintains your warranty eligibility. Certified installers can also register the warranty on your behalf, handle any future claims faster, and perform annual maintenance to keep the warranty in force. Choosing a non-certified installer can limit or void coverage, so always verify credentials before signing a contract.
