Whether you’re buying or selling a house, warranties are an important topic during a real estate transaction. This guarantee provides peace of mind to both the current homeowner and the homebuyer. When it comes to roofing, a transferable warranty can be one of your home’s greatest assets.
Chase Roofing LLC lists the following details that you need to check when reviewing a roofing warranty.
Warranties should specify who benefits from the warranty. Typically, this is the original owner of the shingles or roofing products. If the warranty is transferable, a subsequent owner of the shingles or roofing products would be covered.
Knowing this will allow you to find details on which specific products are covered and other eligibility information, such as proper installation by approved contractors. If there’s a defect, you’ll learn about the solution here as well. Usually, your manufacturer’s warranty will present some common issues that are not covered. These include improper handling, installation and roof preparation errors, and damage from debris impact.
Ask your roofer about how long your roof is protected by the warranty. This limitation may depend on the roofing components as well as their features. That said, you should pay close attention to what the warranty states.
If your warranty can be transferred to the next homeowner, you should find the guidelines outlined in a separate section. Sometimes these are also mentioned in the paragraphs defining what is covered by the warranty.
If you wish to file a warranty claim, you’ll need to undergo a procedure to validate, justify and authenticate your request. That said, a roofing warranty should include a dedicated portion on how to file a claim, where to send it and how to deal with disputes.
