Vancouver roofing companies have been handing out roof warranties for every roof that is installed. Knowing some have failed what is the strength of the actual fine print in the warranty. The roofing shingle market is a monopoly of a handful of major North American manufacturers. There are some smaller producers but they range from region to region if they exist at all.
Companies like Malarky, BP, IKO and Gaf Elk follow each other closely to the point that telling the difference in the shingles is really just a matter of colour shading, when considering the degree of natural elements that a roof in vancouver could face. Roofing companies in Vancouver purchase their materials from the same providers, follow the same warranty guidelines. They practically duplicate each others product.
Every shingle roofing warranty in Vancouver is the same. From day one the cost of the shingles begins to prorate. This peroration is to cover the shingles in case you happen to have a faulty shingle which is not a common as you may think.
If your roof is under ventilated or has the incorrect decking then you have no warranty. If the result of your installation is the cause of the leak there is no warranty. Roofing companies in Vancouver do hand out labour warranties and some even start the peroration after the labour warranties expires. This is a non issue mainly if your roof does not leak in the first five years, if it does you are in big trouble and in need of a new roof
Roofing companies in Vancouver will give you a warranty directly from the manufacturer to you. You will be passed along to the manufacturer if your roof should leak before the warranty is up. A roofing contractor must follow the strict specs that a shingle manufacturer gives with the shingle or your warranty is not a good as the paper it sits on
