The Importance of Roofing Warranties

A new roof is like buying a new car, often it’s a big and necessary purchase and although they come with warranties, those warranties come with conditions. Just like a car, a roof has to be maintained. Roofers and material manufacturers by and large offer good warranties on your roof, however you may not always read this one important exclusion from the warranty: WARRANTY EXCLUSION DUE TO LACK OF ROOF MAINTENANCE.
Roofing materials have come a long way over the years and today they withstand daily fluctuations in weather better than they ever have. Having said that the cold-hot, dry-wet cycles take a toll. As such the roofing system has to be evaluated yearly for penetrations, broken or ripped shingles, tiles etc and mold. Each of these are enemies to any roofing system and leaving your roof untouched for years may invalidate that all important guarantee.
Many companies including Garabar, offer low cost maintenance programs that keep your roof in top shape for years. Please contact us for more information.
