You're Covered

When a qualified Orange County roofer installs a new roof, you can expect this professional to protect your investment with a workmanship warranty. This is an assurance to homeowners that the work performed atop your home meets certain standards. One of these standards pertains to the durability of the newly-installed shingles, which should last and protect a specified number of years. If problems such as leaks occur, your Orange County roofer is contractually bound to rectify the situation. No iffs, ands, or buts.

There is, however, another kind of warranty not provided by a commercial roofer or residential roofer. That warranty is the kind offered by manufacturers of roofing materials.  It doesn’t matter if your shingles are made of asphalt, wood, or cotton candy, reputable manufacturers will cover them with a warranty.

These days, roofing material warranties stretch quite a distance, with the vast majority being a lifetime warranty. Generally speaking, this extensive coverage period applies until you move from your home. Since the average homeowner remains in his or her residence for about seven years, this by definition is the typical period covered by materials warranties.

Bear in mind, however, that warranties of this type invariably include certain exclusions, contingencies, and qualifications. For instance, if a leak develops, some manufacturers cover only the section in which the opening has formed. Additionally, you may need legal training to decipher the clutter of jargon packed into many warranties. Nevertheless, in the long run, manufacturer warranties generally are a great big plus for homeowners

Metal Roofs in Orange County

Once upon a time, metal roofs were merely sheets of tin tossed up over southern shanties and red barns. The corrugated metal looked attractive, in a rustic, woodsy sort of way. But metal wasn’t a material you’d use for most residential roofs, especially not if your house was of a certain style.

But today, metal roofing has expanded its repertoire. It’s now a versatile, good-looking option that can look like more traditional roofing materials for residences. Whether your home is a European-style Colonial, a contemporary home, or even a classic SoCal mission style, there’s a metal roof for your home.

But first, the benefits

Of course, other types of roofs will also work for these styles of homes. Colonials, for instance, are often roofed in wood shingles or even asphalt shingles. Contemporary homes typically use shingle roofs, though some other options are used. And on mission-style adobe homes, you’ll usually find slate or clay tile roofing.
