Warranty Registration: Protecting Your Roof Long After Installation

A roof replacement is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home. Between choosing the right materials, hiring a certified roofer, and ensuring your property is protected, it’s a major project. But the work doesn’t stop when the last shingle is installed. Proper warranty registration is a crucial step to protect your roof and your investment for years to come.

At Pinnacle Roofing Group, we handle warranty registration for every project. As a professional roofing contractor serving Volusia County, we make sure both manufacturer and workmanship warranties are documented, registered, and easy to access. Here’s why this step matters, and what you should know as a homeowner.

Why Warranties Matter for a Roof Replacement

When you invest in a new roof, you’re not just paying for shingles, you’re paying for protection, performance, and peace of mind. Warranties provide:

  • Financial Protection: Covers defects in materials or installation errors.

  • Peace of Mind: Gives confidence that your roof will perform as expected.

  • Value for Your Home: Properly documented warranties can be a selling point for future buyers.

Without warranty registration, homeowners risk losing these benefits. Some manufacturers even void coverage if the warranty isn’t properly documented after installation. That’s why a professional roofing contractor should handle this step for you.

Manufacturer Warranties

Most roofing materials come with a manufacturer’s warranty. These warranties cover:

  • Shingle defects

  • Premature wear

  • Color fading (in some cases, but with Atlas Shingles they are Lifetime!)

  • Wind and hail resistance (depending on product)

Manufacturer warranties vary in length and coverage. Some last 20–Lifetime, while others may offer limited coverage for specific issues. Proper registration ensures the warranty is officially recognized and active, which protects homeowners from future material failures.

Workmanship Warranties

Even with the best materials, installation quality is critical. A workmanship warranty guarantees that your roofing contractor installed the system correctly according to manufacturer specifications and local building codes.

Workmanship warranties cover issues such as:

  • Improper installation of shingles or underlayment

  • Incorrect flashing or ventilation placement

  • Fastening errors that may cause leaks

At Pinnacle Roofing Group, our workmanship warranty demonstrates confidence in our crews’ training and skill. It also protects homeowners from installation errors that could otherwise result in costly repairs.

Why Professional Warranty Registration Matters

Some roofers leave warranty registration up to the homeowner. While that might save the roofer time, it puts the homeowner at risk:

  • Registration forms can be complicated

  • Deadlines are easy to miss

  • Improper registration can void coverage

A professional roofing contractor handles registration as part of the project process. At Pinnacle Roofing Group, we:

  1. Collect manufacturer paperwork and receipts

  2. Submit registration forms on your behalf

  3. Confirm warranty activation

  4. Provide documentation for your records

This ensures that all warranties are fully valid and that homeowners have access to coverage if issues arise.

How Warranties Protect Your Investment

A roof is a long term investment in your home. Properly registered warranties provide protection that extends far beyond the installation day. Here’s how:

Protection Against Material Defects

Even high quality roofing materials can have rare defects. Manufacturer warranties ensure that replacements or repairs are covered if a defect appears.

Protection Against Installation Issues

Workmanship warranties give you recourse if installation errors cause leaks or other problems. This can save thousands in repair costs over the life of your roof.

Increased Home Value

When warranties are properly documented, they can be transferred to new homeowners. This makes your home more attractive on the market, showing buyers that your roof has been professionally installed and protected.

Tips for Homeowners

Even though your roofing contractor handles warranty registration, there are a few things homeowners should know:

  • Keep Records: Keep copies of all contracts, permits, and warranty documents.

  • Understand Coverage: Ask your roofer to explain what is covered and for how long.

  • Follow Maintenance Guidelines: Some warranties require routine inspections or maintenance.

Contact Your Roofer First: If you notice an issue, your contractor can help navigate the claim and coordinate with the manufacturer.
