Having a roof installed or replaced is an expensive undertaking. With all the time, work and money involved, the question that's begging to be asked is, "Should I get a roofing warranty?"
Though it may seem like the logical thing to do, many warranties have limited coverage and a tiered system full of fine print exclusions. These include things like damage from mother nature, lack of homeowner maintenance and Improper installation.
So with all these holes in coverage, is it worth it? Kevin Stevens, a carpenter who does roofing repair in the Denver area, says no. Rather then waste the money, he recommends that having quality work done up front is all the warranty you need. By using the best materials and a reputable company, the roof should stand up to anything thrown at it, negating the need for a warranty.
