Warranty
Two warranties cover a metal roof: the manufacturer's, on the material and the paint, and ours, on the work. Here is how to read both.
Our workmanship warranty
Lifetime, non-prorated, and transferable to the next owner of the house. If something goes wrong because of how the roof was installed, we make it right. Because every installer on our crews is manufacturer-certified, the manufacturer stands behind the workmanship as well — which is not true of every metal roof.
The manufacturer's warranty
Covers the steel and the finish. These are written by the manufacturer and they vary: a panel warranty, a separate paint-finish warranty with its own chalk-and-fade numbers, sometimes different terms by region. We put the actual documents on each manufacturer page and each product page so you can read them before you decide — not after.
What a finish warranty actually says
Read the film-integrity years and the chalk-and-fade years separately. A "40-year" headline sometimes covers only peeling, with 30 or fewer years on color. PVDF finishes carry the longest numbers; SMP finishes shorter ones. The coatings page explains why.
What is not covered
Damage from things done to the roof after we leave — other trades walking on it, satellite installers, pressure washing, hail beyond the product's rating, or modifications. Cosmetic denting from hail that does not affect performance is usually excluded by manufacturers, and often by insurers. We would rather you know that now.
Transferring the warranty
If you sell, the next owner inherits the same coverage. Tell us the closing date and the new owner's name and we update the record.
