Warranties from roofing manufacturers can provide valuable protection for your investment, but the contractor you choose may affect whether that coverage applies. So, before hiring a roofer, make sure they’re certified by the company that makes the product they’ll be installing.
Roofing manufacturers certify contractors to ensure they understand the proper installation methods for their products. If a warranty issue arises after an uncertified contractor completes the work, the manufacturer may determine that the problem resulted from improper workmanship and deny the claim.
Always ask a roofer to clarify their manufacturer certifications and verify their credentials before signing a contract. Choosing a certified installer typically doesn’t cost you anything extra, and it can help protect your warranty and give you greater peace of mind.
