Shingle Roof Warranty Guide

Shingle roof warranties come in two primary types: manufacturer material warranties covering defects in the shingle material itself, and contractor workmanship warranties covering installation quality. In Florida, most quality shingle manufacturers offer material warranties of 25–50 years, while contractor workmanship warranties typically range from 1–10 years. Ranger Roofing provides workmanship warranties on all shingle roofing installations throughout Palm Beach County.

Understanding Shingle Roof Warranty Coverage

Manufacturer Material Warranty

Manufacturer warranties cover defects in the shingle material, such as manufacturing defects that cause premature failure. These warranties typically range from 25 to 50 years for architectural shingles. It is important to note that in Florida's climate, shingles may not reach their full rated lifespan even under warranty — warranties typically require a claim within a specific timeframe and may offer prorated coverage after the first several years.

Contractor Workmanship Warranty

A contractor workmanship warranty covers installation errors that lead to roof failure. Ranger Roofing provides a workmanship warranty on all shingle installations throughout Palm Beach County, ensuring that if our installation is found to be the cause of a roofing problem, we will correct it at no additional cost.

Enhanced Manufacturer Warranties

Many manufacturers offer enhanced warranties when their products are installed by certified contractors. GAF's Golden Pledge warranty and Owens Corning's Platinum Protection, for example, provide extended coverage including wind damage. Ranger Roofing works with homeowners to maximize available warranty coverage on every shingle installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the shingle warranty cover hurricane damage?

Standard manufacturer warranties typically do not cover hurricane damage, which is considered an act of nature. Hurricane damage is covered by homeowner's insurance, not the shingle warranty. However, some enhanced warranties include wind coverage up to specified speeds.
