What Your Houston Roof Warranty Covers

Three layers of protection: manufacturer (materials), algae staining, and our workmanship (installation).

30-Year Manufacturer Defect Warranty

Backed by the shingle manufacturer against manufacturing defects when installed per their specifications. We follow best practices—underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and balanced ventilation—to keep this coverage intact.

15-Year Algae Warranty

Protection against blue-green algae discoloration on qualifying shingles. Great for Houston's humidity—keeps your roof looking clean longer.

5-Year Workmanship Warranty

Our labor is covered for five years. If an installation detail we performed causes an issue, we'll make it right.

Insurance-First Support

Storm damage? We prioritize the insurance claim route first. Warranties cover defects—not hail/wind events—so claims help restore like-kind quality at low out-of-pocket cost.

Keep Your Roof Warranty Valid in Houston's Climate

Roof warranties only work when the roof is installed to manufacturer specifications and local code. Our team builds every system with the right underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and balanced attic ventilation to protect materials and extend shingle life. This approach safeguards your 30-year manufacturer defect warranty, 15-year algae warranty, and our 5-year workmanship coverage.

Registration & Documentation

We provide detailed invoices and photo documentation for your records.
Manufacturer registration (when applicable) is completed according to their process and timelines.
Keep receipts and any maintenance records to streamline future warranty requests.

Maintenance Best Practices

Schedule periodic roof checks—especially after hail or high-wind events. Start with a free inspection.
Keep gutters clear and ensure attic intake/exhaust ventilation remain unobstructed.
Avoid third-party penetrations (e.g., satellite, HVAC) without proper flashing—this can void coverage.

Storm Damage vs. Warranty Claims

Manufacturer and workmanship warranties don't cover storm damage. If hail or wind damages your roof, we'll guide the insurance claim process and restore a code-compliant system so your warranties continue from the repaired/replaced components.
