Protection That Lasts As Long As Your Roof

Roofing Warranty & Workmanship Guarantee

When you invest in a new roof, you’re not just buying shingles. You’re buying protection, performance, and peace of mind.

At Elevated Roofing, we provide written workmanship warranties plus manufacturer-backed material coverage for homeowners near Stockton, Illinois and Dubuque, Iowa. Our goal is simple: install your roof correctly and stand behind it for years to come.

Understanding Roof Warranties

Most homeowners don’t realize there are two different types of roofing warranties. Both matter.

roofing materials

Manufacturer Warranty (Material Coverage)

This warranty covers defects in the roofing materials themselves. It is issued and administered directly by the manufacturer.

Depending on the roofing system selected, manufacturer protection ranges from Limited Lifetime material coverage to 50-Year material warranties.

workmanship is installation

Workmanship Warranty (Installation Coverage)

This warranty covers installation defects only. If something was installed incorrectly, we repair it.

Even the best roofing material can fail if improperly installed. That’s why workmanship coverage is critical.

Our Roofing Protection Options

We offer three clearly defined protection tiers so you can choose the system and coverage that fits your home and long-term goals.


Warranty comparison

All tiers cover workmanship defects only (installation defects). Manufacturer warranties are separate and administered by the manufacturer. Sealants, caulking, and exposed fasteners carry a limited 5-year term.

 

Elevated Base

Solid protection with dependable materials and essential workmanship coverage.

Best Value

Elevated Pro

Small step up in cost, major step up in coverage. Most homeowners choose this tier.

Elevated Forever

Premium system built for long-term performance, impact resistance, and curb appeal.

*Transfer requires written notification within 30 days of property transfer. Failure to notify voids transfer eligibility. Typical lifespan estimates are not warranties and assume proper installation and maintenance. Warranty remedy is limited to cost of repair. Coverage may be void or suspended if the account balance is unpaid. Damage caused by weather beyond product ratings, foot traffic, lack of maintenance, or third-party work is excluded.

How to Maintain Your Roofing Warranty

Proper maintenance protects both manufacturer and workmanship coverage.

To maintain eligibility:

  • Report issues immediately once discovered
  • Install temporary tarping if active leaking occurs
  • Keep gutters cleaned at least twice per year
  • Address algae buildup promptly
  • Follow inspection recommendations
  • Prevent minor issues from expanding into major damage

If damage worsens due to neglect, coverage may be limited or denied.

If you’re unsure about the condition of your roof, schedule a Professional Roof Evaluation.

Can Roof Warranties Be Transferred?

Elevated Pro and Elevated Forever tiers allow a one-time transfer if written notification is provided within 30 days of property transfer.

Transferability can improve resale value and buyer confidence.

Elevated Base workmanship coverage is non-transferable.

Contact us prior to closing so documentation can be completed properly.

Why Workmanship Warranty Length Matters

A workmanship warranty is only as strong as the company behind it.

Longer coverage signals installation confidence and operational stability. A roofing company with an established local presence, verified reviews, and consistent community involvement is more likely to stand behind long-term commitments.

We encourage homeowners to research contractor history, licensing, and reputation before making a decision.
