Manufacturer vs. Workmanship Warranties Explained

The two kinds of roof warranties, what each covers and why you want both.

Blog · August 23, 2026

Manufacturer warranty

Covers defects in the shingles and other materials. Stronger coverage options often require a full system of the manufacturer's products installed by a qualified contractor.

Workmanship warranty

Covers mistakes in installation, like improper nailing or flashing. This comes from the contractor, so it's only as good as the company behind it.
