Commercial Roofing Warranty Repairs: What You Need to Know

Commercial Roofing Warranty Repairs: What Every Building Owner Needs to Know

When a commercial roof fails unexpectedly, the first question is: “Is this covered under warranty?”
If your property is in Colorado or Georgia and you’ve invested in a quality roofing system, understanding your warranty rights can save you thousands.

Here’s how to navigate commercial roofing warranty repairs.

What Is a Commercial Roof Warranty?

A commercial roofing warranty is a written guarantee from the manufacturer or installer. It outlines what defects or issues they’ll fix at no cost for a set period.

There are typically two types:

• Manufacturer Warranty: Covers product defects, such as faulty membranes, metal panels, or insulation.

• Workmanship Warranty: Covers installation errors by the roofing contractor.

Common Issues Covered Under Warranty Repairs

If your roof was recently installed, these common problems may be eligible for no-cost repair:

• Seam separation in membrane roofs

• Fastener back-out on metal panels

• Delamination or blistering in low-slope systems

• Flashing failure at walls, curbs, or drains

• Leaks due to poor detailing around penetrations

But coverage depends on:

• The warranty terms

• Proper registration

• Ongoing maintenance logs

• Whether damage was caused by others (like HVAC techs)

What’s Not Covered?

Even under a valid warranty, some issues are typically excluded:

• Damage from storms, hail, or wind beyond design specs

• Foot traffic damage

• Leaks from rooftop units or tenant improvements

• Ponding water not addressed in design

• Lack of regular maintenance

Always review the fine print. A warranty isn’t a blanket guarantee—it’s a contract with conditions.

How to File a Warranty Repair Claim

Follow these steps to get your roof inspected and repaired under warranty:

1. Gather Documentation:
   Include the original warranty, project invoice, roof drawings, and maintenance logs.

2. Contact Your Roofer or Manufacturer:
   Start with the installer. They often handle coordination with the manufacturer.

3. Request a Warranty Inspection:
   An authorized rep will inspect the roof and confirm if it’s a covered defect.

4. Get It in Writing:
   Ensure the repair scope and coverage are documented before work begins.

FAQs About Commercial Roof Warranty Repairs

How long does a commercial roof warranty last?
Typically 10 to 30 years depending on the system and coverage type.

Can I fix a warranty-covered issue myself or use my own contractor?
No. Unauthorized work usually voids the warranty. Use certified contractors only.

Do I have to maintain my roof for the warranty to stay valid?
Yes. Most warranties require documented inspections and maintenance every 6–12 months.

What if my warranty is expired?
We’ll still inspect your roof and provide a repair plan. In some cases, extended warranties or re-certification may be an option.
