How Mixing Roof Brands Puts Your Warranty At Risk
When Two Manufacturers Share A Roof, Each One Can Blame The Other
Warranties provide vital protection for any Fairfield County, CT, roof replacement. They’re your guarantee of help with any future product or workmanship issues.
But did you know you can put your warranty coverage at risk? That’s a very real possibility if you mix roofing products from two different manufacturers. Why? It may give these manufacturers an excuse not to honor your coverage.
We’ve got the solution to this problem at Sound Renovation.
Instead of installing products from different manufacturers, we install complete roofing systems. Even better, our preferred products come with some of the industry’s best warranties. You’re not just protected against mishaps. You’ve got coverage that lasts long after other guarantees fail.
The Blame Game Built Into Mixed-Brand Roofs
Why would mixing roof replacement products from different manufacturers put your warranty at risk? The answer is simple.
Reputable manufacturers like GAF focus on making great products that last. They’re willing to back those products with generous guarantees. If a problem occurs, they’re there to take responsibility.
However, they must be sure the fault is actually theirs. If there’s any other factor that could explain the failure, they want to know.
One of the biggest potential outside factors? Using products from multiple manufacturers. In these circumstances, it can be hard to say for sure what ultimately triggered the problem you’re experiencing.
That doubt is essentially the escape clause for your warranty coverage. It allows each manufacturer to put the blame on the other, rather than accept it themselves.
The end result? You may not be covered the way you think you are.
What A Complete Roofing System Actually Includes
There’s a surefire way of avoiding this kind of scenario: Installing a complete roofing system from a single manufacturer.
Such a system includes your main roof materials (e.g., asphalt shingles, metal panels, or cedar shake). It also includes important accessories such as:
- Leak barriers on valleys and other vulnerable roof areas
- Starter strip shingles installed on your roof’s eaves
- Ridge cap shingles on your roof’s peaks and hips
- Protective underlayment for your roof decking
- An attic ventilation system
Each of these accessories helps improve your roof’s weather-tightness and daily function. When they come from the same manufacturer, they’re designed to work together. That way, they maximize your overall protection.
Why We Install GAF From Deck To Ridge
Sound Renovation’s preferred asphalt shingle supplier is GAF. We have a mutual relationship with this industry powerhouse. They supply us with class-leading shingles that are both beautiful and highly durable. And we install these shingles with great skill and attention to detail.
GAF holds us in such high regard that they’ve designated us as Master Elite contractors. Only 2% of all roofers ever achieve this status. It allows us to install complete GAF systems that include a minimum of five roofing accessories.
These accessories don’t just work together. Because they’re from GAF, they’re extremely well-made. This helps explain why GAF backs its systems with such exceptional warranties.
Golden Pledge: The Coverage That Outlives The Contractor
As Master Elite contractors, we can offer you GAF’s best coverage – the Golden Pledge warranty.
What do you get with this warranty? For starters, you’re covered against workmanship issues for a full 25 years. You also receive lifetime, non-prorated protection against any product defects.
Here’s the best part. Your coverage stays in effect even if Sound Renovation goes out of business. Of course, we plan on sticking around. But if we don’t for any reason, another Master Elite contractor will step in and honor your claim. You can also transfer your coverage to the next property owner.
Put Their Estimate Next To Ours
It’s a good idea to get more than one estimate on the cost of your Fairfield County roofing project. That way, you’ll always have a basis for comparison.
Is your warranty coverage included in your estimate? It is at Sound Renovation.
We frequently talk to property owners who are comparing apples to oranges. Their bid from another contractor is lower, but it contains products from multiple roofing vendors. And they want to know why ours is higher.
That’s why our co-owner, Adam, does a side-by-side comparison with your other estimates. Not only does this line-by-line breakdown show you what you’re getting when we’re your chosen contractor. It shows you what you’re not getting from contractors who lower your warranty protection by mixing brands.
