When it comes time to have a new roof installed, many homeowners focus solely on materials, color, and price. In doing so, they overlook the critical aspect of the warranty. A strong warranty offers peace of mind, reflecting the quality of the installation and the long-term durability of your investment. Let’s take a closer look at why roofing warranties matter so much, and what you should know before hiring a contractor.
Certified Installers = Stronger Warranties
One of the first things we always recommend is choosing a contractor who is certified by the manufacturers of the roofing materials they use. Manufacturers are far more likely to back their products with robust warranties when those products are installed by someone they’ve trained and approved. Here at Anthracite Roofing Systems LLC, we’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a Mule-Hide Certified Applicator, meaning we’re authorized to install their full line of products—everything from EPDM membranes to silicone and acrylic coatings.
These certifications aren’t just fancy titles. They directly impact the warranties available to you, the homeowner. When a certified pro installs your roof, you’re often eligible for extended manufacturer warranties that you wouldn’t get otherwise.
It’s About More Than Just Coverage
Warranties should be more than just a piece of paper you stash in a drawer. A solid warranty means your roofing contractor stands behind their workmanship, and the manufacturing stands behind their product. That dual layer of assurance is critical if anything every goes wrong. Without a quality warranty, you’re left on your own to pay for repairs out of pocket.
Protection That Lasts for Decades
Roofs are long-term investments. A good warranty ensures you don’t have to worry about replacing or repairing your roof again for a long time. Some warranties last 20 or 30 years, depending on the product and the contractor’s certification level. For example, we’re a WeatherBond EPDM Certified Installer, which is one of the leading EPDM brands in the country manufactured by Carlisle Roofing. This allows us to offer some of the most durable and reliable warranty options available.
Peace of Mind Is Worth It
There’s a real comfort in knowing your roof is protected from the unexpected. A high-quality warranty, backed by both the contractor and the manufacturer, helps ensure your roof stands the test of time, weather, and the unknown. It’s not just about fixing problems. It’s about preventing them altogether with the right materials, team, and protection.
