Warranty FAQs
What's the difference between prorated and non-prorated warranties?
Non-prorated warranties provide full coverage for the entire term. Prorated warranties decrease in value over time, meaning you pay more for repairs as the roof ages.
Can I transfer my warranty if I sell my home?
Most manufacturer warranties are transferable once (sometimes for a fee). Workmanship warranties vary by contractor. RoofVista helps facilitate warranty transfers.
Do warranties cover storm damage?
Standard warranties typically don't cover "acts of God" like storms. However, enhanced warranties often include wind coverage up to certain speeds. Your homeowner's insurance usually covers storm damage.
How do RoofVista contractors offer better warranties?
Our contractors are manufacturer-certified and meet strict quality standards, allowing them to offer enhanced warranty options not available to all contractors.
What if my contractor goes out of business?
This is why we vet contractors for financial stability. Additionally, manufacturer warranties remain valid, and some contractors offer third-party warranty backing for extra protection.
