50 Year Roof Warranties

christine • Oct 30, 2017

Can You Get a BOGO on Roofs?

So you need a new roof...Don't you wish these things would last forever instead of just 15 - 25 years?

Not a lot of people have heard about these new 50 Year Manufacturer Warranties.

You can seriously buy one now and get your next roof free!

Say What?!! Yes...Let me explain.

GAF & Owens Corning are the 2 largest manufacturers of shingle roofing products in the world. Recently they have started offering 50-Year Warranties that are so inexpensive we often throw them in for free during a re-roof. These 50 Year Warranties from the manufacturers entitle you to a new roof, materials + labor to install if there is a "manufacturer defect" any time during the first 50 years after installation. Manufacturers Defect includes: "Cracking" of the shingles; "Curling" of the shingles is when the corners begin to curl up; "Granular Loss" of the shingles is when the the rocky rough particles begin to fall off of the shingles leaving them bare. Granular Loss is the most common and "build-up" will often be found in the gutters.

Here is the catch - The warranty only transfers once for free...

The average homeowner keeps their house 3 - 6 years these days. The odds are you will sell your house and even if it does transfer to the next owners they will probably sell it too before the next 40 or so years.

So does it make sense to get a 50 year warranty?

Yes, yes it does. It increases the value of your home so if we will throw it in for free, take it! Also many investors know that the Austin Real Estate market is going up in value and it's a good idea to keep rental properties. An average "Lifetime Shingle" will last 35 Years, hedge your bets...it could pay off.
