Many roofing manufacturer warranties are filled with language and loopholes that truly do limit the value of the warranty. They provide protection all right, but not protection for the consumer. They are written to protect the manufacturer.
The sad part is that these warranties are marketed aggressively to trusting consumers and positioned as assurances that their products will stand the test of time and will protect a buyer's investment in home improvement. The salespeople use these warranties to assure prospective roof buyers that the manufacturer will stand behind their products.
Over the last few years, the combination of inferior asphalt roofing and weak warranties, have given rise to unprecedented claims and class action litigation against roofing manufacturers - visit www.failedroofclaims.com for media reports and information about these lawsuits.
