When you install a new roof, you want it to last as long as possible. After all, for most people, their home is one of the most important investments they’ll ever make. That’s why it’s important to understand how your warranty works before you need to make a claim. At J&J Roofing, we partner with manufacturers like CertainTeed that offer powerful warranties to protect homeowners while they’re protecting their homes.
While most roofing companies offer lifetime warranties, CertainTeed asphalt shingles come with one of the most powerful residential roofing warranties in the business. In this post, we’re breaking down what you can expect from a CertainTeed warranty. Give us a call to discuss replacement roof options for your Macomb County home today!

Covered Under Warranty
When it comes right down to it, warranties are complex legal documents, and it’s important to read them carefully to completely understand them. But ultimately, a warranty is a homeowner’s guarantee from the manufacturer that they’ll stand behind the product you purchased.
Most lifetime warranties cover manufacturer’s defects for the duration of the homeowner’s ownership of the roof. This includes problems due to inadequate sealant, granule loss, and other such defects. Although most manufacturers only cover defects if the roof’s performance is affected, CertainTeed is the only roofing company that covers defects even if your roof isn’t leaking.
Front-loaded coverage on full installation and replacement materials comes with most warranties and lasts for about a decade depending on each manufacturer’s terms. After this period, you’ll need to pay for the replacement shingles, usually at a reduced rate, as well as full cost on labor even for manufacturer defects. However, CertainTeed offers extended warranty coverage as an add-on feature.
