Perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of a roofing project is what exactly do shingle manufacturers provide in terms of warranty coverage? Quite frankly, what the wrapper states is one thing, what the homeowner is actually covered for, is quite another! Recently, many homeowners have been left highly disappointed when they discovered that their 20 or 25 year warranties on failing shingles installed as recently as 5-10 years ago are so inferior they may as well have no warranty at all! One part of the problem is that, depending on the manufacturer, the warranty quickly becomes prorated, and covers the material replacement only. This leaves the homeowner holding the bag for other costs involved in a reshingling project. These costs may include, but not be limited to, labour for tear-off and reinstallation, disposal fees, underlayments, flashings and so on. Really, the warranty covers very little of the actual cost of a quality replacement job. Furthermore, some manufacturers aggressively attempt to discredit a warranty claim based on a ventilation issues which may have been no problem at all for the previous roof, but all of a sudden, have supposedly caused the current roof to fail.

Perhaps the most important part of a shingling job, is not only the shingles used, but is actually the entire "ROOFING SYSTEM" the manufacturers require for a full comprehensive warranty. A" Roofing system" takes into account many more things than just the bundles of shingles. It includes dealing with issues related to decking, flashings, starter strips, underlayments, chimneys, plumbing stack upgrades, wall interruptions, proper ventilation, hip and ridge capping products and more!

Equally important as the " Roofing System" one uses, is the roofing company hired to do the job! Many contractors have very little in formal training, and usually these types of contractors can offer nothing more in the way of warranties than as if the homeowner installed the shingles themselves! Most manufacturers will offer various designations to contractors who prove themselves to be highly qualified in their trade. These designations will allow certain established roofing companies to offer extended comprehensive warranties to their customers which helps eliminate the pitfalls of limited warranties of shingles purchased off the shelf of the local lumberyard, installed by uncertified contractors.

A good example of this is the GAF/ELK Corp. GAF/ELK is the largest, oldest shingle manufacturer in North America. They promote a "Master Elite" contractors designation which they only offer to the top 3% of the companies in any particular region. A "Master Elite" contractor has the ability to offer lifetime roofing systems with GAF/ELK products which mean exactly that...a 100% lifetime warranty..no proration...no exclusions...which means no disappointments! By adhering to very stringent installation procedures, these highly qualified contractors typically educate the homeowner of the finer details of shingle warranties which many contractors will not bother with.

It is very important for homeowners to choose the right products and installers before starting a project as important and expensive as roofing, in doing so, you may save yourself lots of money down the road!

GAF Materials Corporation, North America’s largest roofing and ventilation manufacturer, is announcing groundbreaking changes to its laminated shingle warranties.  Effective January 1, 2011, every GAF laminated shingle, including all Timberline^® shingles—the #1-selling shingles in North America—will be covered by a lifetime ltd. warranty when installed on single family residences (see ltd. warranty for complete coverage and restrictions).  GAF will no longer offer any laminated shingles with just a 30-year or 40-year warranty, a first for any roofing manufacturer.  

This revolutionary change has been made possible by GAF’s Advanced Protection^™ technology, which was first introduced in 2007.  This innovative shingle technology has resulted in shingles that offer improved performance, including superior durability and wind resistance.  GAF is so confident in the performance of its Advanced Protection^™ shingles that it has decided to make this unprecedented improvement in its warranties.

“As a company, we are committed to advanced quality, industry-leading expertise, and solutions that make our customers’ lives simple — which is what this warranty upgrade is all about,” stated Bob Tafaro, President and CEO of GAF. “Contractors will benefit from knowing that they can stand with confidence behind every installation of GAF laminated shingles.  Homeowners will benefit from knowing that their installed shingles are warranted for a lifetime, adding significant value to their home.”

GAF has also upgraded the coverage of its Golden Pledge^® and System Plus limited warranties, which are offered exclusively by its GAF-certified contractors.

“We are especially excited to announce this warranty upgrade, given that 2011 is GAF’s 125th anniversary as a company. At a time when Americans are facing so much uncertainty about the future, you can be sure that GAF will be there decades from now to stand by the performance of our roofing products.  This warranty upgrade will reinforce both our leadership position in the industry and our promise of excellence to our customers,” said Tafaro.

Giving credit where lot of credit is due – Andrew Quarry

Andrew Quarry, one of our satisfied customers, has been living in the Norwood Flats Area in Winnipeg for close to 40 years. Recently he had some issues with his eavestroughs and had it redone and his roof was also leaking at a particular area. All the roofing repairs were completed by Chateau Roofing.

In Andrew’s own words: “I decided to call on Chateau because I knew they had a good reputation. I spent a fair amount of time with the person giving me the quote, and admired the attention to detail.”

Andrew adds that “the salesman put a great deal of effort in putting the quote together and I felt that I knew exactly how the job was going to be done when we were done with the roofing estimate”. That is a very typical expression with our customers.

Further Andrew says that he was impressed by the professional approach of Chateau’s roofing team. “I have already been recommending Chateau Roofing to other people who might be considering any roofing repairs. Actually, the motivation for me for doing this testimonial is just that I want to give credit where I think a lot of credit is due.”

The Number One Roofing Company – Ben Borsuk

Ben Borsuk has been living in Charleswood for more than 12 years and already knew well about Chateau Roofing’s impeccable work record.

Ben was particularly impressed by the prompt response to his call and the roofing estimate that was provided to him within a day by Chateau’s efficient and courteous estimators. “The team was very courteous and was very concerned about my safety during the project,” says Ben.

Ben noticed that the workers would promptly contact him on his cell phone and inform him and take his approval before going on with the work. When Chateau Roofing’s team found that there was something wrong with the way the work had been done previously, they informed Ben and made the necessary corrections so that there were no problems in the future.

Ben further adds “what I liked was that they wanted to make sure that the job was done completely without leaving any margin for error. They didn’t want to visit my house again after a year and tell me that they had seen the problem but didn’t tell me.”

Lastly, he says, “I would definitely recommend Chateau Roofing. After seeing their work and their level of professionalism, like visiting after the project was completed and cleaning up the debris. As far as I’m concerned, Chateau is the Number One roofing company.”
