Are You Aware Of The Warranty Of Your Commercial Roofing?
Replacing a commercial roof is not cheap by any stretch of imagination, so having a warranty on your new Commercial Roofing Canoga Park offers you some kind of assurance that your investment is safe provided something happens that may cause your roof to get damaged. As you choose your roofing contractor, amongst other things don’t forget to ask questions related to roof’s warranty and what all will be covered in it. Different types of commercial roofs come with different types of warranty, so you can make an educated choice once you compare them and choose the best one for your building.
Roof manufacturer provides material warranties and roof installers provide workmanship warranty. There are also some reliable and independent third party companies which can offer warranty. This is a good option if your roof is not covered under warranty; for example, if you have just moved in a home or commercial building that was constructed some years ago. Workmanship warranties are of two types- pro-rated and non-pro rated. A pro-rated warranty do not pay for a full portion of the possible roof repairs that might be needed in future. Instead, it only covers some part of repairs with owner paying the remainder. The share of building’s responsibility increases with time and age of the roof. On the other hand, non-pro rated roof warranty pays for the full repairs that your commercial roof may need in future, with no costs to the customer.
Coming to workmanship warranty on Commercial Roofing Los Angeles, a normal workmanship warranty covers 5 to 10 years. There are some service providers who only offer 2–3 years of workmanship warranty, which indicates low quality of workmanship performed on your roof that may not stand the test of time for much long. Always prefer to have warranty that is valid for long duration to keep your investment safe. One thing to watch out for is to keep a keen eye on the quality of the materials used by your chosen service provider. Along with using good quality of materials, you should also see to it that the installation is done by qualified and licensed professionals.
Always make it a point to read the full warranty so that you are able to grasp each point mentioned in it. There are many warranties that do not cover all types of leaks, but only those which are directly the result of a manufacturing defect. There could be additional terms and conditions too. Warranty should explain clearly to the owner his responsibilities in regard to maintenance. There is some kind of competition between different roof manufacturers in offering warranties, which has made many of them offering longer warranties than others. While this may seem a lucrative prospect to the consumer, it has its own share of downsides too.
It could be that by the end of a long term warranty, the roof manufacturer has close down his business operations, leaving you, the building owner, responsible for paying for any sort of repair work that might be needed to fix the damaged roof.
