FAQs
What does a manufacturer warranty cover on a new roof in Spring City?
A manufacturer warranty usually guarantees the performance of the shingles, metal panels, membrane, or other roofing materials against factory defects for a set period—commonly 20, 30, or even 50 years. If the product fails prematurely due to a defect (such as excessive granule loss, blistering, or delamination), the manufacturer will provide replacement materials and, in many enhanced warranties, contribute toward labor as well. The warranty does not normally cover damage caused by improper installation, severe weather events, foot traffic, or a lack of maintenance, which is why choosing a certified installer and scheduling regular inspections is essential.
Why are routine roof inspections important for maintaining my manufacturer warranty?
Most major roofing manufacturers require documented inspections—typically once every 12–24 months—to keep the warranty in good standing. Inspections verify that flashing, sealants, and penetrations remain watertight and that storm damage or debris has not compromised the system. If minor problems are corrected promptly, you prevent them from growing into larger issues that could void your warranty. A certified Spring City roofing inspector will also complete the paperwork or online forms manufacturers ask for, giving you proof of compliance if you ever need to file a claim.
How does Spring City’s climate affect manufacturer roofing warranties?
Spring City experiences a mix of humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles in winter, and occasional hail or high-wind storms. While manufacturers test their products for such conditions, the climate can accelerate wear on shingles, seams, and sealants. Because of these stressors, many premium manufacturers offer upgraded wind and impact-resistance warranties—provided the roof is installed to strict specifications (extra fasteners, high-temperature underlayment, etc.). Working with a local contractor familiar with Spring City weather ensures your roof is installed per those guidelines, protecting your warranty coverage.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Spring City?
We recommend a full inspection every spring and fall, plus an additional check after severe hail or wind events. Biannual visits let our technicians spot UV degradation, lifted shingles, clogged gutters, or flashing gaps before they cause leaks. These twice-a-year inspections also satisfy nearly all manufacturer maintenance clauses, giving you written records that your roof is being cared for properly.
If an inspection reveals damage, will the manufacturer warranty pay for repairs?
It depends on the source of the damage. If we can document that a component failed because of a manufacturing defect (for example, shingle blistering with no sign of mechanical impact), the warranty typically covers replacement materials and sometimes labor. However, if the inspector traces the problem to wind uplift, fallen branches, or poor installation, you would need to rely on your contractor’s workmanship warranty or your homeowner’s insurance. Our inspection report clearly categorizes each issue so you know which avenue—manufacturer, installer, or insurance—to pursue.
How do I file a manufacturer warranty claim after a Spring City roof inspection?
First, contact our office so we can review your inspection report and photographs. We’ll confirm that the issue appears to be a manufacturer defect and that your maintenance records are up to date. Next, we help you gather the required paperwork: proof of purchase, warranty certificate, and inspection logs. We then submit the claim to the manufacturer’s warranty department on your behalf. Once approved, we coordinate material delivery, schedule repairs, and submit final documentation so the manufacturer closes the claim. The process usually takes 2–6 weeks, depending on the manufacturer’s response time.
