Understanding Your Roofing Warranty: What’s Covered and What’s Not

Roof warranties can be confusing—and not all are created equal. At Radiant Roofing & Siding, we want you to feel confident about your investment. Here’s a quick breakdown of what roofing warranties typically cover (and what they don’t).

1. Manufacturer Warranty (Product Warranty)

This warranty comes from the shingle or metal manufacturer and covers defects in the roofing material itself.

✅ Typical Coverage: 20–50 years depending on the product.
✅ Common Coverage: Curling, cracking, early granule loss, or material breakdown.
⛔ Does NOT cover: Improper installation, damage from storms, or poor ventilation.

2. Workmanship Warranty (Labor Warranty)

This is the warranty you get from us, the contractor. It covers how the roof was installed and protects you from faulty labor.

✅ Our Promise: Radiant Roofing & Siding backs our workmanship with confidence.
✅ Peace of Mind: If something goes wrong due to how it was installed—we make it right.
⛔ Note: This does not cover damage caused by outside forces like storms or fallen branches.

3. System Warranties (Upgraded Coverage)

When we install full roofing systems using one brand (underlayment, shingles, vents, etc.), you may be eligible for an upgraded system warranty. These often offer stronger coverage and sometimes include labor costs.

What to Watch For:

Always read the fine print

Ask if your installer is certified by the manufacturer (we are!)

Keep records of maintenance and inspections
