At A&A Contracting, we believe a commercial roof warranty is only as valuable as your understanding of it—and your ability to maintain it. Roof warranties offer important protection for your investment, but they can be easily misunderstood or unintentionally voided.
In this blog, we’ll guide you through the key things every property owner should know to make the most of their roof warranties. From understanding coverage details to avoiding common pitfalls, our goal is to help you protect your roof and your bottom line.
Understanding Roof Warranties
Roof warranties are agreements that offer coverage for specific problems related to your roofing system. Typically, they come in three forms:
- Manufacturer’s Warranty: Covers defects in materials, such as faulty membranes or flashing.
- Workmanship Warranty: Provided by the contractor, this covers errors in installation.
- Extended Warranty: A more comprehensive plan that can cover both materials and workmanship, often requiring certified contractors and specific installation standards.
When you work with A&A Contracting, we explain your warranty options clearly and help you choose the protection that fits your building.
What Roof Warranties Typically Cover
Most roof warranties include coverage for:
- Material Defects: Problems caused by manufacturing flaws in the roofing system.
- Seam Failures: A major concern for flat roofs using TPO, PVC, or similar membranes.
- Premature Aging: When roofing materials degrade faster than expected.
- Leaks from Material Failure: Water infiltration resulting from faulty components.
We make sure your commercial roof is installed using high-quality materials backed by dependable warranties. That way, you’re covered if the unexpected happens.
Common Exclusions That Can Void Your Warranty
Just as important as what is covered is what isn’t. Many roof warranties have exclusions that building owners overlook, including:
- Neglected Maintenance: Failure to schedule regular inspections or clear debris can void coverage.
- Storm Damage: Damage from hail, wind, or other extreme weather is not typically included.
- Unauthorized Repairs: Work done by non-certified contractors may cancel your warranty.
- Ponding Water: Persistent standing water due to poor drainage is often excluded.
At A&A Contracting, we offer maintenance plans designed to help you stay compliant and avoid these common risks.
How to Maximize Your Roof Warranty
To get the most out of your roof warranties, follow these best practices:
- Schedule Routine Inspections: We recommend twice a year, plus after major weather events.
- Document Everything: Keep detailed records of installation, maintenance, and repairs.
- Hire Certified Contractors: Only use qualified professionals for service or repairs.
- Act Quickly: Report any concerns as soon as they arise to avoid denial of coverage.
