Know exactly what your warranty protects.
Warranties protect against material defects and installation error. They do not cover storm damage or normal wear, which is where your homeowners insurance comes in.
What your warranty handles
- Manufacturing defects in shingles
- Premature granule loss or cracking
- Installation errors (workmanship warranty)
- Flashing failures from installation
- Ventilation issues from improper install
- Algae growth (on algae-resistant shingles)
What insurance handles instead
- Storm damage (hail, wind, debris)
- Normal wear and tear over time
- Damage from lack of maintenance
- Unauthorized repairs or modifications
- Improper ventilation (homeowner responsibility)
- Acts of nature (lightning, earthquakes)
Storm damage is an insurance claim, not a warranty claim.
Hail, wind, and fallen trees are typically not covered by roofing warranties. They are covered by your homeowners insurance. Capital City Roofing specializes in insurance claims and can help you navigate the process to maximize your coverage. Our BuilderLync documentation provides the evidence insurance companies need for claim approval.
Questions homeowners ask most.
What's the difference between manufacturer and workmanship warranties?
Manufacturer warranties cover defects in the roofing materials themselves: shingle defects, premature granule loss, or manufacturing flaws. They are issued by the shingle manufacturer (GAF, CertainTeed, etc.) and typically last 25 to 50 years. Workmanship warranties cover the quality of the installation: improper nailing, flashing errors, ventilation issues. Capital City Roofing provides a lifetime workmanship warranty on every installation, covering our work for as long as you own your home.
What is the GAF Golden Pledge warranty?
The GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty is the industry's strongest residential roofing warranty, available exclusively through GAF Master Elite contractors like Capital City Roofing. It provides up to 50 years of system coverage plus 25 years of workmanship coverage from GAF, not just the contractor. Both materials and labor are covered by GAF directly. The warranty is transferable to future homeowners, increasing your home's resale value.
What does Capital City Roofing's lifetime workmanship warranty cover?
Our lifetime workmanship warranty covers the quality of our installation for as long as you own your home: shingle installation, flashing work, ventilation, underlayment, and every other aspect of our work. If any issue arises due to installation error (not material defect or storm damage) we repair it at no cost. The warranty is transferable and significantly exceeds the industry-standard 25-year workmanship warranty offered by most contractors.
Are roofing warranties transferable when I sell my home?
Yes. Both manufacturer warranties and our lifetime workmanship warranty are transferable to future homeowners. GAF Golden Pledge and CertainTeed 5-STAR Warranty transfers carry a small administrative fee (typically $50 to $100). Our lifetime workmanship warranty transfers automatically at no cost. Transferable warranties are a major selling point and can increase your home's value.
What voids a roofing warranty?
Common voiders include improper installation by non-certified contractors, unauthorized repairs or modifications, failure to maintain proper ventilation, installation of incompatible accessories (satellite dishes, solar panels), and lack of routine maintenance. That is why choosing a certified contractor like Capital City Roofing matters: every installation meets manufacturer specifications, so your full warranty stays in force. We also provide documentation and maintenance guidelines to protect your coverage.
