Our Warranty Promise
We don't make promises we can't keep. Every roof we install is backed by a straightforward 10-year workmanship warranty on our labor and installation. No fine print designed to get us off the hook, no inflated claims about coverage that disappears when you actually need it. Just honest protection from the team that built your roof.
10-Year Workmanship Warranty
This is our warranty — covering the labor and installation performed by our crew. If we did it wrong, we fix it. Simple as that.
What's Covered
Installation Defects
If our work was done incorrectly — improper flashing, poor nail placement, faulty underlayment installation — we come back and fix it at no cost to you.
Leak From Workmanship
If your roof leaks because of how we installed it, not because of storm damage or material failure, we repair it. Period.
Code Compliance
Every roof we install meets or exceeds Florida Building Code. If an inspector identifies an issue with our work, we correct it immediately.
Flashing & Sealant
Pipe boots, vent flashing, ridge caps, and all sealant work performed during installation are covered under our workmanship warranty.
What's Not Covered
We believe in being upfront. Our workmanship warranty does not cover the following, and any contractor who says otherwise is not being straight with you:
- Storm damage, hurricanes, hail, lightning, or other acts of God
- Normal wear and tear over time
- Damage caused by unauthorized modifications or repairs by other contractors
- Failure to maintain the roof (clogged gutters, debris buildup, moss/algae left untreated)
- Damage from falling trees, branches, or other external objects
- Issues caused by structural problems unrelated to the roof installation
Manufacturer Material Warranties
Every roofing material carries its own warranty from the manufacturer. These are separate from our workmanship warranty — the manufacturer covers their product, we cover our work.
Important: The warranty periods below are typical ranges. Your specific warranty depends on the exact product and manufacturer. We provide complete manufacturer warranty documentation with every project so you know exactly what you have.
Asphalt Shingles
Depends on the product line. Architectural shingles typically carry longer warranties than 3-tab. Most major brands (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed) offer tiered warranty levels based on the specific product.
Tile Roofing
Concrete and clay tiles are among the longest-lasting roofing materials available. The tiles themselves can outlast the underlayment beneath them. Manufacturer warranties vary, but the material itself often exceeds its warranty period.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofs typically carry 40-50 year manufacturer warranties on the panels. Paint and finish warranties are often separate and may be shorter (20-25 years). Fastener-based systems may have different terms.
TPO / Flat Roofing
TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 15 to 25 years depending on the membrane thickness and installation method. Some manufacturers offer extended warranties when installed by certified contractors.
The Honest Truth About Roof Warranties
Most homeowners don't read the fine print until something goes wrong. Here's what you should know before you need to know it.
Storms Change Everything
A 30-year warranty sounds great until a major storm rolls through and the manufacturer says the damage isn't covered. Most manufacturer warranties exclude weather events. That is not us being negative — that is how the industry works. Your homeowner's insurance is your real protection against storm damage. Make sure your policy is current and adequate.
Maintenance Matters
Both our workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties require that you maintain your roof. This does not mean anything extreme — keep gutters clean, remove debris, trim overhanging branches, and address small issues before they become big ones. Neglect your roof and you risk voiding your coverage. We are happy to advise on a maintenance schedule specific to your roof type.
Don't Let Others Touch It
If another contractor makes modifications to your roof — installs a satellite dish, cuts in a new vent, patches a section without proper technique — it can void both our workmanship warranty and the manufacturer warranty. Before anyone works on your roof, call us first. We will either handle it or advise you on how to proceed without jeopardizing your coverage.
