By Commercial Roof Systems
Commercial roof systems are a significant investment. It’s important that building owners understand how warranties work and what voids them. Many manufacturers offer their own material warranty, which covers early component failure and premature aging. This type of warranty typically carries dollar limits and is prorated over time. Manufacturer’s labor and material warranties also exist, but aren’t the iron-clad protection that many owners assume them to be.
A no dollar limit manufacturer’s warranty is the most comprehensive type of roof product warranty. This type of roof system warranty guarantees that the Commercial Roofing company will cover any costs associated with repairing or replacing defective materials for the lifetime of the roof (not to exceed the initial purchase price of the roof). The roofer’s warranty usually combines both material and labor warranties into one package and can last up to 20 years. While this type of warranty can be expensive, it will typically provide a higher level of protection for your commercial roof.
Some manufacturers offer a pro-rated or limited warranty that diminishes in value as the roof ages. This type of warranty is typically cheaper than an NDL manufacturer’s warranty, but it may not offer the same level of coverage. You should always read the fine print when evaluating a roof warranty. It is important to understand the terms of the warranty so that you can ensure you are receiving the best value for your investment.
Do You Offer Warranties on Your Commercial Roof Systems?
Many manufacturers offer a Limited Warranty for their products. This type of warranty does not cover labor, but it does guarantee replacement costs for parts that are defective. The length of the limited warranty can vary depending on the product and the manufacturer. Some limited warranties may also exclude coverage for damage caused by wind, rain, ice or debris.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, but you may have other rights which vary from state to state or province. To the extent allowed by law, this limited warranty disclaims all other warranties, whether expressed or implied, including without limitation any statutory warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. See your product’s documentation for more information. This is a part full and part limited multiple warranty where the initial two years are a full warranty, but the remainder is a limited warranty.
Manufacturer’s no-dollar limit (NDL) warranties are arguably the most cost-effective type of Barrie Roofing warranty. They offer a long term system warranty and cover all costs related to repairs or replacements. These warranties also typically include coverage for materials that are not directly provided by the manufacturer.
However, it’s important to understand that these types of warranties do not cover the cost of damage caused by non-roof components such as desks and computers which may have been damaged due to roof failure. It is also important to know that modification of the roofing system such as solar panels or additional equipment often voids these types of warranties. Most commercial roofing manufacturers require regular rooftop inspections and maintenance in order to maintain their warranty coverage. It is essential to understand these requirements to ensure that you are receiving the maximum value from your roofing investment.
