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.
New Commercial Flat Project
We’ve just started to re-roof a commercial flat roofing system in downtown Boca Raton across from the South end of Mizner Park. At over 150 roofing squares, it is a significant project in downtown Boca. The existing roof deck is CWF/Tectum and we’re going over it with a 75# base sheet, two plies of glass IV and a modified cap sheet. We’re able to offer the customer an industry leading 15 year no dollar limit warranty.
The owner states that the City of Boca Raton has plans for redevelopment of this building and this would probably be the last roof this building would get.
Roofing Services For Realtors
Garabar is proud to offer a new services just for Realtors and real estate brokers. We know that one of the most challenging hurdles to jump is the home inspection process and many times the condition of the roof is the main sticking point. Whether the roof is old or damaged or both, buyers and sellers often can’t agree on a solution.
We’ve introduced a pre-sale inspection and repair service where we will inspect the roof and make any repairs necessary. Then we will attach one of our industry leading warranties to our work, so that the buyer can feel confident their roof is in good hands and the transaction can proceed smoothly. This is available exclusively for homeowners working with Realtors.

Another Shingle Roof with Golden Pledge Warranty
Garabar has just started yet another shingle roofing system backed by the GAF ELK Golden Pledge Warranty. The Golden Pledge warranty is the best GAF ELK, the largest shingle manufacturer in the US, has to offer – not only do they warranty their shingles for between 20 and 50 years depending on type, but they also warranty our workmanship for up to 20 years. So you get our excellent warranty and theirs too. After we inspect the roof, they do too, so you’ll always have peace of mind knowing that a Golden Pledge warranty is behind you 100%.
