Free roofing workmanship warranty template

Homeowners rarely know that a roof has two warranties: the manufacturer's on the shingles and yours on the installation. When a new roof leaks, the first question is whether details like flashing and nailing were done right, and that is what your workmanship warranty covers. A clear written warranty sets how long you stand behind the work, what counts, and what does not, such as storm damage.

• Your labor warranty period, from the completion date.
• That it covers leaks caused by installation.
• How it relates to the shingle manufacturer's warranty.
• Exclusions: storm, hail, wind beyond rating, foot traffic, other trades.
• What voids it: unpaid balance, alterations by others.
• How to make a claim and how fast you respond.

• Damage from hail, falling trees or wind beyond the shingle rating.
• Leaks from satellite dishes or solar mounts added by others.
• Ice dams caused by attic insulation or ventilation you did not install.
• Gutters, skylights and chimneys not replaced as part of the job.
• Normal weathering and color change of shingles.
