Question 1

What does a roofing warranty cover?

Accepted Answer

A roofing warranty has two parts. The manufacturer warranty (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning) covers defects in the shingles themselves, usually pro-rated over the shingle's rated life, with lifetime non-pro-rated coverage available on premium tiers like the GAF Golden Pledge. The contractor's workmanship warranty covers installation, flashing, fastening, ventilation, and any leak caused by how the roof was put on. Apex provides a written workmanship warranty on every roof replacement, on top of the manufacturer's material coverage.

Question 2

How long is the Apex Roofing and Siding workmanship warranty?

Accepted Answer

Apex provides a written labor / workmanship warranty on every roof replacement. The length depends on the shingle line you choose (longer on premium GAF Golden Pledge installs). Your warranty terms are spelled out in writing in your estimate and in your final warranty packet, no surprises.

Question 3

Are roofing warranties transferable when I sell my home?

Accepted Answer

Most major manufacturer warranties (including GAF) are transferable to the next homeowner one time within a defined window after the original installation, which can be a real selling point. Apex provides all warranty paperwork at the end of every job so it's ready to hand off at closing.

Question 4

What voids a roofing warranty in Connecticut?

Accepted Answer

Common warranty voiders include layovers (installing new shingles on top of old), inadequate attic ventilation, unauthorized repairs by another contractor, and storm damage that should be filed with your homeowners insurance instead. Apex installs to manufacturer spec on every job, full tear-off, proper ventilation, and licensed crews, to keep your manufacturer coverage in force.
