The answer to 'storm damage repair warranty' is that most roof repairs due to storm damage are covered under the manufacturer's warranty for a period of 10-15 years, as long as the roof was properly installed. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, so if a shingle blows off or the roof develops a leak due to a manufacturing issue, the warranty will pay for the repair. However, the warranty does not cover damage caused by neglect, improper maintenance, or extreme weather events like hurricanes or tornadoes.
To be eligible for the warranty, the homeowner must have the roof inspected and any necessary repairs made by a licensed and insured roofing contractor. The contractor will also need to register the warranty with the manufacturer. If a storm does cause damage, the homeowner should file a claim with the manufacturer as soon as possible to get the repairs covered.
