FAQ

Do new roofs have warranties?Whether you just got a new roof or perhaps you have a roof that is a few years old and you are still covered by a warranty, most roofs do have warranties. Similar to roofing prices, roofing warranties vary depending on the company that roofs your home and the type of shingles you select. For example, the Landmark Pro Architectural shingles (the best) come with a 15-year 110 mph wind-resistance warranty in addition to a 50-year limited transferable warranty against manufacturing defects. That being said, product warranties are determined by the shingle supply company like CertainTeed or GAF. The labor warranty depends on the shingle installer, but for example, here at Matador Roofing and Construction, we offer a 5-year warranty.
