How to choose warranty on your roof?

Most of the roofing contractors may not be recognized by the standard manufacturers so know the facts of warranties before selecting a roofing contractor. For example our company, Rocket Roofing Corp is certified as a SELECT Shingle Master Company by Certain Teed Manufacturer, Recognized Contractor by Weather Bond, Accredited business member of BBB Houston.

• For most home owners there comes at least one time in which the roof on their home needs to be replaced. To protect your new roof investment the most essential component to consider is the warranty coverage offered by the roofing contractor.Essentially there are two types of roofing warranties offered by roofing contractors: Prorated and Non-prorated. Depending upon the terms, generally a Non-prorated warranty is the best option.

• Review the entire warranty contract, clauses, and terms, and be sure to read the fine print. Most states require warranties to be clear and intelligible so it is easy for the consumer to understand. If there is something you do not understand, ask questions! Otherwise you may even ask a friend, relative, or business acquaintance to help explain the warranty terms to you. Do not sign any contracts until you are certain that you understand all of the terms offered.

• Check the reputation of the roofing contractor. Have they been in business for a long time? Are they accredited? What are their affiliations in the business community?
  Many building owners have been shammed because although the contractor may offer a good warranty package, their business is not established and for financial reasons the business becomes insolvent and goes under -- either filing for bankruptcy or otherwise becoming non-existent. In those cases you essentially are left with no more warranty coverage and your roof is left unprotected.

• If at all possible you should choose a Non-prorated warranty if it is offered. Non-prorated warranties offer coverage with no hidden expenses for the consumer. If something goes wrong with the roof, or if their were installation defaults of any kind, a non-prorated warranty ensures that all problems or defects are covered by the roofing contractor.
