Do you know the ins and outs of your roof warranty? When it expires? The terms? In what case(s) it could become null and void?
Roof warranties have value and can save you real dollars, but only if you choose them and use them wisely. There are so many kinds out there; it’s not a one-size-fits-all. There are various terms – 10 year, 20 year, 30 year or even lifetime manufacturer warranties. And there are different warranty types. Manufacturer warranties. Installation warranties. No dollar limit warranties that might cost a pretty penny, but might also save one. The list goes on and the details can be quite intricate.
One of the most important details to know in addition to what is covered is what validates coverage. Most commercial roof warranties require regular maintenance. At a minimum, semi-annual inspections and preventative maintenance are typically needed to maintain warranty coverage. If you fail to comply you could inadvertently nullify your coverage, and it could be a costly mistake.
A good roof maintenance program includes debris removal, roof survey and a detailed condition report. There’s technology that allows you to access it all without leaving your office.
