Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
Home Source offers a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty that provides customers with an additional level of protection for their roofing system. The Lifetime Workmanship Warranty covers the following:
- Lifetime Coverage: The Install Warranty provides lifetime coverage for workmanship defects that arise due to improper installation of the roofing system. The lifetime coverage ensures that customers have long-term protection against any defects caused by poor installation practices.
- Industry Standards: The Install Warranty guarantees that the roofing system is installed according to established industry standards. This ensures that the installation is performed correctly and that the roofing system will function as intended.
- Defects Caused by Installation: The Install Warranty covers any defects caused by the installation crew while applying the roofing products. This includes damage to the products caused by the crew during installation, such as accidental damage or mishandling of materials.
- Protection Against Improper Installation: The Install Warranty provides protection against defects caused by improper installation practices, such as inadequate flashing or sealing, incorrect installation of shingles, or improper ventilation. This ensures that the roofing system is installed correctly and that it will perform as intended.
It’s important to note that the Install Warranty provided by Home Source is in addition to the System Plus Limited Warranty offered by GAF. The Install Warranty only covers defects caused by improper installation or damage to the products during application, and it does not cover defects caused by external factors beyond Home Source’s control or normal wear and tear.
To file a claim under the Install Warranty, the homeowner must contact Home Source directly and provide proof of purchase and evidence of the alleged defect or damage. Home Source will then inspect the roofing system and determine the appropriate course of action to remedy the issue.
