What is Workmanship Warranty?
Roofing Glossary · Business & Contracts
Definition
A contractor's guarantee covering the quality of the installation work — distinct from the manufacturer's material warranty. Standard contractor workmanship warranties range from 1-10 years. "GAF Certified" or "Owens Corning Preferred" contractors can offer enhanced workmanship warranties of 10-25 years through manufacturer programs. The workmanship warranty is only as good as the contractor's financial stability and business continuity.
