FAQs
What is a premium manufacturer roofing warranty and how is it different from a standard warranty?
A premium manufacturer warranty is the highest level of coverage offered by leading roofing brands such as GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. Unlike a basic material-only warranty that typically lasts 10–15 years, a premium warranty can extend up to 50 years on materials and 25–30 years on workmanship when the roof is installed by a certified contractor. It often includes enhanced wind, algae, and defect protection, plus a non-prorated period during which 100 % of repair or replacement costs are covered.
Which roofing manufacturers provide premium warranties for homes in Thorn Hill?
In Thorn Hill, homeowners most commonly choose premium warranties from GAF (Golden Pledge®), Owens Corning (Platinum Protection®), CertainTeed (SureStart™ PLUS 5-Star), and IKO (Craftsman Premier). These brands have trained and certified local contractors approved to register and service the warranties, ensuring your roof meets all manufacturer specifications.
What specific items are covered under a premium manufacturer warranty?
Coverage typically includes: 1) All major roofing components—shingles, underlayment, starter strip, ridge cap, and vents. 2) Full labor and material costs for manufacturing defects for 25–50 years. 3) Wind resistance up to 130 mph or higher, depending on the system installed. 4) Algae resistance for 10–15 years. 5) Tear-off and disposal costs if a full replacement is required. Always review the fine print of your chosen manufacturer because coverage limits and terms vary slightly by product line.
Are there maintenance or installation requirements to keep my premium warranty valid?
Yes. All manufacturers require that: • The roof be installed by a factory-certified contractor following the exact system requirements (matching underlayment, starter, ridge, etc.). • You perform periodic inspections—usually once every 1–2 years—and promptly repair any damage caused by external factors (e.g., fallen branches). • Gutters remain clear to prevent water backup. • You register the warranty within 60–90 days of installation. Failure to follow these steps could void or reduce your coverage.
Can I transfer my premium roofing warranty if I sell my home in Thorn Hill?
Most premium warranties are fully transferable one time within the first 10–20 years, depending on the manufacturer. To transfer, you typically need to: 1) Submit a transfer request form along with a small administrative fee (often $75–$150) within 30–60 days of closing. 2) Provide proof of ongoing maintenance. After transfer, some warranties continue in full, while others convert to a prorated schedule, so check your specific policy for details.
How do I file a warranty claim and what documentation will I need?
Start by contacting the certified contractor who installed your roof, as they will inspect the issue and initiate the claim with the manufacturer. Gather: • Your warranty registration certificate • Proof of property ownership • Photos of the problem area • Any maintenance or inspection records. The manufacturer may send an independent inspector or rely on the contractor’s report. Approved claims typically result in repair or replacement at little to no cost to you, aside from any deductible outlined in your agreement.
