Whats the difference between a material warranty and a workmanship warranty?
Any time work is performed on your roof, whether it’s a new installation, a repair or full replacement, two entities are involved: the materials used, and the company and its people who install those materials. A material warranty is the manufacturer’s guarantee that the shingles and accompanying accessories–ridge vent, underlayment, valley, etc.–have been manufactured correctly. A workmanship warranty is the installer’s assurance that the materials have been installed correctly, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Your roof is subject to many forces, including heat and cold, moisture, wind and even contact with the occasional tree or other unintended object. Even a roof that has had quality materials installed correctly may still develop a leak, and at B&T Roofing Ltd., we’ll examine your roof closely to determine whether a leak or other problem is covered by your material warranty or workmanship warranty.
