What’s the difference between a contractor’s guarantee and a manufacturer’s warranty?

A Contractor’s Guarantee is good for only as long as the roofing contractor is in business. Always ask how long the company has been in business and not just how many years experience the contractor has as a roofer. If the company goes out of business there’s no one to honor the guarantee. A 10-year contractor’s guarantee will be useless if the company goes out of business after 5 years. A Manufacturer’s Warranty is a joint agreement between the contractor and the manufacturer for the first two years of your roof’s life. The contractor is responsible for any repairs during the first two years. After two years, the manufacturer is responsible for all costs of repairs. Roof Services is a family-owned company that has been in business since 1985. We have two generations running the company and we plan on being in business for at least another 25 years and more.  more
