Introduction
Your roof isn’t just another part of your home it’s your first line of defense against Kentucky’s unpredictable weather. From heavy rain and high winds to intense summer heat, your roof protects everything beneath it. That’s why understanding your roof warranty is just as important as choosing the right roofing contractor.
A strong warranty protects you from unexpected repair costs, provides long-term peace of mind, and ensures your investment stands strong for decades to come.
At Power Roofing of Lexington, KY, we believe every homeowner deserves complete protection both from the products installed and from the craftsmanship behind them.
What Is a Materials (Manufacturer’s) Warranty?
A Materials Warranty, sometimes referred to as a Manufacturer’s Warranty, is provided by the roofing product manufacturer. It covers defects in the roofing materials themselves, such as shingles, underlayment, or ventilation components.
If a product fails prematurely due to a factory defect, the manufacturer’s warranty covers the cost of replacement materials and, in some cases, the labor to install them.
Example: If your shingles begin cracking or curling within the first 10 years due to a manufacturing flaw, the manufacturer’s warranty will replace them at no cost to you.
- Defective shingles or panels
- Premature aging or granule loss
- Structural material failures caused by poor manufacturing
What Is a Workmanship Warranty (Contractor Warranty)?
- Leaks caused by improper installation
- Poor sealing or flashing work
- Misaligned shingles or panels
- Ventilation and underlayment installation errors
A solid workmanship warranty sends a signal: “We believe in our work.”
Common Limits and Exclusions
- Damage caused by extreme weather (hail, tornadoes, windstorms, etc.)
- Poor attic ventilation or lack of maintenance
- Unauthorized repairs by another contractor
- Roof alterations after installation (solar panels, skylights, or antennas)
- Normal wear and tear over time
