When investing in a commercial roofing system, one of the most critical factors to consider is the system warranty. A well-installed roof should provide long-term protection, but the warranty ensures you have coverage in case of unexpected issues. At Quality Roofing Inc., we help businesses navigate their options and choose the best roofing system for their needs.
Reputable roofing manufacturers offer non-prorated warranties that cover both labor and materials, providing peace of mind that your roof is built to last. These warranties typically come in 10-, 15-, 20-, or 30-year terms, depending on the material and installation method used. Avoid warranties that do not cover labor or warranties that are not backed by both the contractor and the manufacturer. Read the warranty prior to purchasing a roofing system.
A higher-quality membrane, like a 90-mil EPDM with a 30-year warranty, will provide longer-lasting durability compared to a standard 60-mil with a 20-year warranty. The right choice depends on your building’s needs, environmental conditions, and budget.
One key thing to watch out for is the type of warranty being offered. Some roofing companies provide in-house warranties, which means the contractor—not the manufacturer—is responsible for repairs and replacements. This can be a red flag, as it may limit your protection in the long run.
A manufacturer-backed warranty ensures that your roof is covered by the brand producing the materials, meaning you can rely on proven performance standards and nationwide support if any issues arise.
At Quality Roofing Inc., we work with trusted manufacturers, including:
✔ Johns Manville
✔ Carlisle
✔ Elevate (formerly Firestone Building Products)
✔ Sika Sarnafil
✔ GAF
These brands offer reliable, high-performance roofing solutions with warranties backed by industry leaders.
Not all roofing membranes are the same. Different environments require different materials. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Understanding your building’s needs is crucial to selecting the right roofing system.
While warranties and high-performance materials matter, budget is always a factor. If your project requires cost considerations, Quality Roofing Inc. works with you to find the best roofing solution within your budget. Whether that means selecting a slightly different membrane or exploring alternative installation methods (like mechanically fastened systems instead of adhesives), our team ensures you get the best value for your investment.
Choosing the right roofing system involves doing your homework—understanding what type of membrane is being installed, ensuring you have a manufacturer-backed warranty, and balancing quality with budget.
