What’s Included in a Roofing Warranty?
A new roof is a big investment, and a good warranty is what protects it. But roof warranties can be confusing, because there’s more than one kind. Here’s a simple guide to what they cover — and why it matters for homeowners in Middle Tennessee and North Georgia, where storms test every roof.
- Materials Warranty
- The first kind covers the shingles and materials. Top brands offer a limited lifetime warranty on their materials, which lasts as long as you own the home. It mainly covers bad materials — when a product fails to work the way it should.
- But here’s the catch: it won’t cover materials that fail from a bad install. That’s why your contractor matters as much as your materials. We use top materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Atlanta Metal Works.
- Workmanship Warranty
- The second kind covers the work itself — the install. A good contractor stands behind their work in writing. Terms vary by company. At Northpoint, we back our work for 10 years against defects.
- Manufacturer’s Warranty
- The third kind comes from the maker. Big brands like GAF and CertainTeed cover both the materials and the approved install steps. Each has a full guide so you can see what fits you best. On a qualifying GAF roof installed by a Master Elite contractor like us, you can step up to the Golden Pledge® — GAF’s strongest plan. You can find the GAF and CertainTeed details on our warranties page.
Why It Matters Here
In our climate, a roof takes a beating from heat, humidity, and storms. Strong coverage means you’re protected if something goes wrong. And a warranty that transfers — like the Golden Pledge® — is a real selling point when you list your home, which is a plus in markets like Franklin and Kennesaw.
