What is a "roof warranty," and how might it relate to a HAAG Certified Reviewer's evaluation?

A roof warranty is fundamentally a guarantee provided by the manufacturer or installer of roofing materials, ensuring their longevity and performance over a specified period. This warranty plays a critical role in the evaluation process for a HAAG Certified Reviewer, as it indicates the level of confidence the manufacturer has in their product's durability and performance.

A robust warranty typically covers specific aspects such as coverage against defects, expected lifespan, and sometimes labor costs associated with repairs due to material failure. When conducting evaluations, a HAAG Certified Reviewer will consider the terms of the warranty to assess whether it aligns with industry standards and contributes to the overall reliability and quality of the roofing system. Understanding the nuances of these warranties can also aid in determining if a roof has been correctly installed or maintained, reinforcing the reviewer's capability to identify potential issues that may affect the roof's lifespan or effectiveness.
