A new roof is a major decision, and understanding its warranty is part of choosing the right roofing system. A warranty explains which problems may be covered, who is responsible for addressing them and what a homeowner needs to do when an issue appears.
Cheyenne Mountain Roofing serves homeowners in Colorado Springs with roof inspections, repairs and replacement services. Before your project begins, ask our team to explain the warranty documents that apply to your roof so you can keep the right records and know where to turn for help.
Material and Workmanship Coverage
Roofing warranties generally fall into two categories. A manufacturer’s warranty concerns the roofing products and defects covered by that manufacturer’s written terms. A workmanship warranty concerns the installation work covered by the contractor’s written agreement.
These protections serve different purposes. A problem with a roofing product and a problem caused by installation may require different review and documentation. Your proposal and warranty paperwork should identify the products installed, the coverage provided and the party responsible for each type of claim.
Manufacturer-Backed and Extended Roofing Warranties in Colorado Springs
Cheyenne Mountain Roofing is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Eligible Owens Corning roofing systems may qualify for the Preferred Protection Roofing System Limited Warranty. Ask our team which manufacturer-backed or extended warranty options apply to your project, including coverage periods, installation requirements and exclusions.
Review Owens Corning’s roofing warranty options and requirements for manufacturer details, and confirm the coverage included in your written proposal before installation.
Read the Details Before Your Project
Warranty language varies by product and agreement. Review the coverage period, any registration requirements, whether coverage can transfer to a new owner and the conditions that may limit a claim. Ask whether labor, removal and replacement are included for a covered problem.
Keep your signed proposal, installation records, product information and warranty documents together. If a manufacturer requires registration or proof of purchase, make sure you understand who will handle those steps.
Maintenance and Storm Damage
A warranty does not replace routine roof maintenance. Debris, damaged flashing and blocked drainage can create problems that need attention regardless of warranty coverage. Have changes in the roof’s condition inspected instead of waiting for a leak to spread.
Storm damage and normal wear may fall outside a warranty’s terms. An inspection can help document the condition of the roof, but coverage decisions depend on the applicable warranty or insurance policy. Avoid assuming that every leak is automatically a warranty claim.
What to Do When You Notice a Problem
If you see water stains, displaced roofing materials or another concern, document what you can safely observe and contact your roofing contractor. Do not climb onto the roof to investigate. Share the location of the problem, when you first noticed it and any relevant project records.
Ask which documents are needed, who will evaluate the issue and what the next steps are. Prompt communication helps keep the repair process clear and gives the responsible party an opportunity to review the concern.
