Roof Warranties: Which option is best for you?

Sep 16

Whether it’s your first time replacing your roof or not, our goal at First Choice Constructors S&B LLC is to make sure it’s the last time you ever have to worry about your roof material lasting. That’s why we offer different warranty options to give you peace of mind and confidence in your investment.

Option 1: Sticking to the Same Brand

Many roofing brands provide stronger or extended warranties if you purchase multiple products from their line. This means you may qualify for a longer or guaranteed material warranty when all roofing components—such as shingles, underlayment, and vents—come from the same brand.

💡 Example: If we’re installing Atlas shingles, requesting that all other materials also be Atlas brand increases your chances of receiving a stronger material warranty.

Once approved, warranty certificates are typically emailed or handed to you directly upon project completion. Please note, approval can sometimes take up to a month.

Pros:

Stronger likelihood of material replacement if any defects occur
Warranty certificate provided for added peace of mind

Cons:

May be more expensive compared to mixed-material options

Option 2: Investing in a Higher-Grade Shingle

If durability is your top concern, upgrading to a higher-grade shingle may be the right choice. By default, our estimates typically include standard-grade shingles, but higher-performance shingles are always available upon request.

Our contractors can walk you through the different options so you can choose the grade that best matches your needs, budget, and long-term plans.

Option 3: Upgrading to Metal Roofing

For homeowners who want the strongest and longest-lasting solution, we recommend metal roofing—especially standing seam metal with no exposed fasteners. This option provides unmatched durability and longevity compared to shingles.

While it does come at a higher upfront cost, the investment can pay off over time in reduced maintenance and the peace of mind of knowing your roof is built to last.
