Roofing Warranties Made Simple
When you invest in a new roof, you want to know exactly what protection comes with it. At Blueprint Home Services, we believe homeowners deserve clear answers, not confusing fine print.
Two Layers of Protection for Your Roof
That is why we explain roofing warranties in a simple way:
- ✓Our workmanship warranty covers how your roof is installed.
- ✓The manufacturer warranty covers the roofing materials themselves.
When combined, those two layers of protection give homeowners stronger peace of mind.
Our 15-Year Workmanship Warranty
Our 15-year workmanship warranty is our promise to stand behind the quality of our installation. If a problem happens because of the way the roof was installed, Blueprint Home Services stands behind our work.
This may include installation-related issues involving roofing components, flashing details, sealing, or other workmanship-related errors tied to the installation of the roof system.
In simple terms, this warranty protects you from problems caused by how the roof was put on, not just the products used.
GAF Manufacturer Warranty Coverage
We use GAF roofing products because they are one of the most recognized names in the roofing industry and offer strong manufacturer-backed protection on qualifying roofing systems. GAF distinguishes between coverage for contractor workmanship and coverage for manufacturing defects in the roofing materials.
Depending on the products installed, your roof may include a GAF manufacturer warranty that protects against qualifying manufacturing defects in the roofing materials. GAF also offers enhanced warranty options on qualifying systems, and some of those options can provide up to 50 years of non-prorated coverage for manufacturing defects under the terms of that specific warranty.
That does not mean every GAF roof automatically has the same 50-year coverage. Warranty protection depends on the full roofing system installed, the products used, and the specific warranty issued. GAF's warranty documents also define "Lifetime" coverage differently from a simple 30-year term, especially for eligible single-family homes.
What This Means for Homeowners
A roofing warranty can sound complicated, but the basic idea is simple:
Workmanship Warranty
Protects against installation-related issues
Manufacturer Warranty
Protects against qualifying defects in the roofing materials
Enhanced System Warranty
May provide stronger manufacturer-backed coverage when the roof qualifies under GAF's requirements
Why This Matters in Tucson
Roofs in Tucson take a beating from intense sun, heat, monsoon weather, wind, and debris. That is why it is important to have more than just good shingles. You also want confidence that the roof was installed correctly and backed by a contractor willing to stand behind the job.
That is where the combination of a 15-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer-backed GAF coverage becomes so valuable.
Important Warranty Note
No roofing warranty covers every possible situation. Warranty coverage is subject to the final written terms and may not include things like storm damage, foot traffic, lack of maintenance, alterations by others, or other non-warrantable conditions. GAF's coverage also varies by product and warranty type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a 30-year or 50-year manufacturer warranty mean my roof will definitely last that long? expand_more
Not necessarily. It means the roofing materials may have warranty protection for that period under the manufacturer's terms and conditions. It is not the same as a guarantee that the entire roof will perform perfectly for that exact number of years.
Does the manufacturer warranty cover installation mistakes? expand_more
Usually, manufacturer warranties are focused on the roofing materials themselves. Installation-related protection is typically separate unless a qualifying enhanced warranty specifically includes additional coverage.
What is the biggest difference between the two warranties? expand_more
The easiest way to think about it is this:
- ✓Blueprint workmanship warranty = covers our installation
- ✓GAF manufacturer warranty = covers the roofing materials
