When you’re investing in a new roof, you’re not just buying shingles and nails. You’re buying peace of mind. One of the best ways to protect that investment is through a comprehensive roofing warranty. But not all warranties are created equal. 

Here’s what you need to know about how roofing warranties work, what they cover, and why Lednor Home Solutions’ Owens Corning roofing systems offer unmatched long-term value.

Material Warranty vs. Workmanship Warranty

Understanding the difference between material and workmanship warranties is the first step in protecting your home.

• Material (Manufacturer) Warranty: This covers defects in the roofing materials themselves. If your shingles fail prematurely, the manufacturer is responsible.
  
• Workmanship Warranty: This comes from the contractor and covers problems related to improper installation, such as leaks or poor ventilation. Even the best materials won’t perform well if installed incorrectly.

With Lednor Home Solutions, you get both. Our Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System comes with options for full material and labor coverage, especially when installed by our Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractors.

Owens Corning Platinum Protection

Lednor offers the industry-leading Owens Corning Platinum Protection Roofing System Warranty, one of the strongest warranties available today.

• Up to 50 Years of Coverage: Full system protection, not just shingle replacement.
• Covers All Major Components: Shingles, underlayment, ice/water barriers, and more.
• Fully Transferable: Adds value to your home and makes it more appealing to future buyers.

Our Platinum Preferred status means your warranty is comprehensive and backed by one of the most trusted names in roofing.

Warranty Lifespan and Coverage Details

Roof warranties can vary widely in length and terms. Here’s what to look for:

• Full vs. Prorated Coverage: Some warranties reduce in value over time. Owens Corning’s Platinum Protection offers non-prorated coverage for up to 50 years.
  
• What’s Not Covered: No warranty covers everything. Exclusions often include “acts of God” like extreme storms, or damage from poor maintenance.
  
• Maintain Validity: Keep up with roof inspections, ensure proper attic ventilation, and document any maintenance or repairs.

A solid warranty backed by proper care means fewer surprises and fewer expenses in the years ahead.

Why Warranties Matter

Investing in a high-quality roofing warranty provides protection and adds measurable value to your home.

• Increases Resale Value: A transferrable warranty makes your home more attractive to buyers.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing your roof is covered reduces stress when bad weather hits.
• Fewer Out-of-Pocket Repairs: Major roof issues can cost thousands. With the right warranty, most costs are already covered.

Think of your warranty as insurance that doesn’t come with a monthly premium.

Questions to Ask Your Contractor

Before signing a roofing contract, ask these critical questions:

• Is the warranty included in the quote? Get it in writing; don’t assume.
• Is it registered? Some warranties require post-installation registration to take effect.
• What voids the warranty? Know the risks so you don’t accidentally lose coverage.

A reputable contractor like Lednor will be happy to walk you through the fine print.
