Roof Warranties Offered by Bill West Roofing: Ensuring Peace of Mind and Long-Term Protection

Have you been considering replacing your existing roof? Do you need assurances that the new roof will protect you for the long haul? Homeowners and business owners benefit from securing a roof warranty with a roof replacement. However, not all roofing manufacturers or contractors offer the best roof warranties. In fact, some don’t provide any warranty on a new roof.

At Bill West Roofing, as a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, we provide homeowners and commercial building owners with unmatched roofing warranties. We only install the finest roofing products from leading manufacturers, including CertainTeed. Accordingly, you can have the peace of mind of knowing that if a covered issue arises, warranty protection exists.

What Protections Do Roof Warranties Provide?

A roof warranty safeguards a roof from material or workmanship defects and certain types of damage.

Material Warranty

Most established roofing manufacturers will cover defective materials and corresponding roof components. If the roofing product has a deficiency identified within the warranty contract, the property owner will receive protection against loss. Typically, this warranty will cover the property owner for a defined period (or, in some cases, a “lifetime”).

Workmanship Warranty

Reputable roofing manufacturers will indemnify property owners against issues caused by specific installation errors that could have been avoided. Improper installation of roofing materials can occur. Workmanship warranties can vary in length (anywhere from 2 years to a lifetime).

Extended Warranty

Often, a roofing manufacturer will market luxury or upgraded roofing products with enhanced warranty coverage. To access this exclusive warranty protection, the property owner must follow strict manufacturer requirements (e.g., hiring a preselected “preferred” contractor or installing all roofing components from that manufacturer).

The Benefits Of Roof Warranties

A roofing warranty acts like an additional insurance policy against loss due to an unforeseen circumstance beyond the property owner’s control. If you are considering purchasing a new or replacement roof, evaluate the corresponding roof warranty coverage. Avoid buying a product where the warranty lacks meaningful protection. Pursue a roofing material that delivers a warranty worth owning (and exercising) if an adverse event occurs.

The Challenges Of Not Having A Roof Warranty

If you lack a roof warranty, be prepared to pay out of pocket for a roof replacement (assuming your insurance policy does not offer protection). Without it, a problem could occur the next day after installation and be 100% outside your control. However, it would not matter. You would be fully financially responsible. Don’t take that chance.

CertainTeed’s SureStart PLUS Warranty Protection

Would you prefer three-, four-, or even five-star warranty coverage to nothing (or just minimal protection)? Certainly! CertainTeed understands that exceptional warranties provide property owners with long-term peace of mind. A new roof is an investment. When you pay for a high-quality roof, you expect it to perform optimally for years.

CertainTeed’s Factory-Certified Installer Program

As the leading manufacturer of high-performance roofing products, CertainTeed’s factory-certified installer programs (known as ShingleMaster and Select ShingleMaster) enable well-qualified roofing contractors to obtain expert knowledge to install CertainTeed roofing materials and components. 

Only CertainTeed ShingleMaster can offer a 3-STAR or 4-STAR warranty, and only a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster may provide a 5-STAR warranty (in addition to 3-STAR or 4-STAR coverage). Property owners should identify a Select ShingleMaster like Bill West Roofing if they want the best warranty protection.

Understanding The 3-STAR & 4-STAR Warranty Protection

CertainTeed delivers unsurpassed 3-STAR and 4-STAR coverage. Both options provide lifetime limited warranty protection for materials and labor (as well as tear-off if replacement shingles are needed). The 3-STAR warranty offers 20 years of protection, while the 4-STAR extends it to 50 years. The 4-STAR warranty also gives the property owner disposal coverage when replacing the existing roof.

Pursuing 5-STAR Warranty Protection Through CertainTeed

As a Select ShingleMaster, Bill West Roofing can offer the most comprehensive extended warranty in the roofing industry. It covers all material defects (including damage due to algae discoloration and wind), and the property owner receives non-proration for 50 years.

In addition to coverage for (i) materials and labor, (ii) tear-off, and (iii) disposal, the property owner benefits from CertainTeed’s exclusive 25-year workmanship warranty, which protects the property owner from installation issues caused by the roofing contractor.

Property owners can also access SmartChoice Protection. This coverage upgrade addresses defects in CertainTeed accessories, including roof flashing, ridge vents, and starter strips. If a loss occurs due to a manufacturing mishap, property owners receive indemnification.
