Roofing Warranties Aren’t What You Think—Here’s the Truth
Many homeowners in Greensboro assume that their roofing warranty covers every possible issue. Unfortunately, that’s far from the truth. In this article, we’ll break down the fine print and show you how Old Timers Roofing Inc. goes further to protect your investment.
Manufacturer Warranties Only Go So Far
Most shingle manufacturers only cover product defects—not improper installation, poor workmanship, or storm-related damage. That means if a storm rips shingles off your roof or a contractor cuts corners, your warranty may be useless.
What’s NOT Covered (But Should Be)
- Poor installation techniques
- Flashing or vent leaks due to improper sealing
- Storm or wind damage over 60mph
- Manufacturer warranty voids due to installation errors
Why Our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty Matters
At Old Timers Roofing Inc., we include a lifetime workmanship warranty on every full roof replacement. That means if there’s an issue related to how we installed your roof, we fix it—no questions asked.
We also only install Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles with Core4® technology, which come with industry-leading protection against algae, high winds, and product defects.
How to Check What Your Warranty Really Covers
Here’s a simple 3-step checklist:
- Locate your warranty paperwork or email
- Check for exclusions (like wind speed, installation faults, algae)
- Call us—we’ll review it with you at no charge
Homeowner Tip: Never Rely on a Verbal Warranty
Always get it in writing. Many storm-chasing contractors will verbally promise coverage that isn’t enforceable later. We provide every client with a written lifetime warranty backed by local service.
