Most building owners want to know how long their new roof will stay protected before they sign a contract. A commercial roof warranty from Precision Roofing can last 10, 25, or up to 30 years, depending on the system and the coverage you choose.
Who backs the warranty matters just as much as its length. A manufacturer-backed warranty gives you far stronger protection than a promise from the contractor alone. Here is how each option works and what keeps your coverage valid.
Manufacturer vs Contractor Warranties
The biggest difference between a manufacturer warranty and a contractor warranty comes down to who stands behind it. With a manufacturer warranty, the roofing manufacturer itself provides the coverage we pass on to you.
How a Manufacturer Warranty Protects You
Roofing manufacturers are billion-dollar corporations, and most have been in business for well over 100 years. They have legal teams and a long record of standing by their commitments. That makes a manufacturer warranty a very legitimate form of protection for your building.
The Risk of a Contractor-Only Warranty
A contractor-only warranty depends entirely on one company. If that contractor goes out of business, stops returning phone calls, or decides it has no obligation to help, you may have little recourse.
Every roofing system comes with a different warranty. The right one depends on the work we perform and what you want from your roof.
Pro Tip: Before you sign, ask whether your warranty is backed by the manufacturer or only by the contractor. Manufacturer backing keeps you protected even if a contractor closes its doors.

What Can Void or Transfer a Warranty
Only a few actions can void the warranty on your commercial roof. Knowing them in advance helps you keep your coverage in place for its full term.
Actions that Can Void Your Commercial Roof Warranty
Most voided warranties come down to third-party damage, which usually takes one of these forms:
- Unqualified repairs: Someone who is not qualified goes on the roof and performs repair work.
- Incompatible products: A maintenance worker applies a product that is not compatible with the manufacturer’s system.
- Punctures: Someone pokes holes in the roof or makes similar unapproved changes.
Pro Tip: Let only qualified roofers work on your system to keep your coverage intact.
Transferring Your Warranty When You Sell
All of our warranties are transferable with the sale of the building. The transfer takes one simple document, and we provide this service free of charge. Your coverage stays with the building for the next owner.
Key Takeaway: Commercial roof coverage ranges from 10 to 30 years. Keep unqualified workers and incompatible products off your roof to protect it.
