Choosing a new roof is a significant investment, and understanding your warranty is crucial. At Marcor Construction, we believe in empowering homeowners with knowledge. Our CEO, Gina Farese, recently shared valuable insights into roofing warranties, and we’re here to break it down for you.
The Truth About ‘Limited Lifetime’ Shingles:
Gone are the days of 25, 30, or 40-year shingles. Today, most manufacturers offer ‘limited lifetime’ warranties. But what does that really mean? Typically, it covers the first 10 years non-prorated, followed by a prorated period extending up to 50 years. Understanding the specifics of your manufacturer’s warranty is essential.
The Impact of Proper Installation:
Did you know that the number of nails used per shingle directly affects your wind resistance warranty? Installing shingles with six nails, rather than four, can significantly increase your protection against high winds. This is just one example of how proper installation plays a critical role in your roof’s performance and warranty coverage. With recent tarrifs, and nail prices rising, it is more important than ever to have a contractor who does not cut corners.
The Importance of Warranty Registration:
Many homeowners overlook the importance of registering their roofing warranty. Without registration, it can be challenging to file a claim if an issue arises. At Marcor Construction, we take the hassle out of this process. We register every warranty for our clients, ensuring they have the necessary documentation and protection.
Material Tracking and Homeowner Protection:
Manufacturers can trace the origin of each shingle, allowing them to identify potential defects. However, homeowners need to provide crucial information about the installation, such as the material purchase location, square footage, ventilation, and accessories. At Marcor Construction, we meticulously record these details to protect our clients.
