Understanding Your Roof Warranty Coverage with Roof Revivers

Field knowledge

When you invest in a new roof, it helps to understand exactly what your warranty covers. Roof Revivers is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, which lets us offer the Owens Corning Platinum warranty on qualifying roof systems.

Roofing warranties can feel confusing, so here is how the main pieces fit together.

Manufacturer coverage vs. workmanship coverage

A manufacturer warranty covers defects in the materials, such as the shingles. A workmanship warranty covers problems caused by how the roof was installed. Standard shingle warranties generally cover materials only. Manufacturer system warranties can cover both when a certified contractor installs a complete system.

Why Owens Corning

We work primarily with Owens Corning shingles and roofing systems. All Owens Corning shingles come with a standard product warranty. The Platinum level of protection is only available through Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractors like Roof Revivers.

The Owens Corning Platinum warranty

The Owens Corning Platinum warranty is Owens Corning-backed, with 25 years of non-prorated coverage. Because the coverage comes from Owens Corning's program rather than from the contractor alone, it is designed to stay in place even if a contractor stops doing business. Read the full Owens Corning warranty document for the exact terms.

Quality checks on every install

We run our own quality control inspection on roofs we install, and Owens Corning conducts quality control inspections to confirm installations follow its standards. GuildQuality also surveys our customers about their experience.

What a warranty doesn't cover

Wind, hail and storm damage are typically handled by your homeowner's or commercial property insurance, not by a roofing warranty. Normal wear and tear is also generally excluded. If a leak appears, the cause decides which coverage applies, so it's worth having the roof inspected.

Common questions

Does a roof warranty cover leaks? It depends on the cause. Leaks from installation problems fall under workmanship coverage. Leaks from storm damage usually fall under insurance.

Is the warranty transferable? Transfer rules depend on the specific warranty. Check the warranty document, and ask us to walk you through the terms before you sign.

What maintenance is required? Basic upkeep, like keeping gutters clean and removing debris, is typically required. We'll give you maintenance guidelines with your roof.

Do you work on commercial properties? Yes. Ask us about the coverage options for your property.

What shapes your cost

What moves the price of a roof is the roof itself: its size, its pitch, how many valleys, chimneys and skylights it has, the shingle or metal you choose, the condition of the decking underneath, and how many old layers have to be torn off. Since 2012, Roof Revivers has given homeowners a free inspection and a written estimate based on their actual roof, so you see the real number before any work starts.
