7-Year Workmanship Warranty – Apple Roofing
At Apple Roofing, we believe craftsmanship deserves long-term accountability.
That’s why we back every eligible project with industry-leading workmanship coverage:
- Residential roofing projects include our exclusive 7-Year Workmanship Warranty
- Commercial roofing projects are backed by up to a 10-Year Workmanship Warranty
All workmanship warranties are provided in addition to applicable manufacturer material warranties.
We don’t just install roofs. We stand behind them.
Why Workmanship Matters More Than Most Property Owners Realize
When roofing problems occur within the first several years after installation, they are often related to installation execution, not material defects.
Common installation-related issues include:
- Improper nailing or fastening patterns
- Flashing misalignment
- Sealant misapplication
- Underlayment overlap errors
- Ventilation integration mistakes
- Incorrect ridge cap placement
- Improper membrane seam welding
- Fastening deviations in high-wind zones
In storm-prone regions, improper installation can increase vulnerability. FEMA’s Building Science Division highlights the importance of correct fastening methods and flashing integration in reducing wind and water intrusion risks.
These are workmanship-related concerns. That’s why a strong workmanship warranty is essential.
Many homeowners and commercial property owners assume all roofing warranties are the same. They are not.
Manufacturer Warranty
A manufacturer warranty covers defects in roofing materials.
Examples include:
- Shingles failing due to factory defects
- Membrane breakdown unrelated to installation
- Manufacturing flaws in metal panels
Material warranties are issued by the product manufacturer, not the installer.
Apple Roofing’s 7-Year Workmanship Warranty
Our workmanship warranty covers errors related to installation labor and application methods.
If a problem is determined to be the result of improper installation, not defective materials, Apple Roofing corrects it under warranty terms.
Our 7-Year Workmanship Warranty ensures:
- Installation accountability
- Labor-related protection
- Clear written documentation
- Responsive service
- Long-term support
Together, manufacturer protection + workmanship coverage create layered roofing security.
Many contractors offer:
- 1-year workmanship warranties
- 2-year limited labor coverage
- 3–5 year extended options
We offer seven.
✔ Performance Through Multiple Seasonal Cycles
Seven years ensures your roof performs through freeze-thaw cycles, wind exposure, hail events, heavy rainfall, and heat expansion.
✔ Protection Beyond the Typical Contractor Window
Installation-related issues often surface in years 2–5. Short warranties may expire before subtle workmanship concerns appear.
✔ Long-Term Accountability
A 7-year warranty reflects operational confidence in:
- Crew training
- Supervisor oversight
- Quality control inspections
- Code-compliant application methods
To maintain transparency, our workmanship warranty does not cover:
- Manufacturer material defects
- Severe weather damage (hail, hurricane, falling debris)
- Structural movement unrelated to installation
- Damage caused by third-party contractors
- Normal aging and wear
- Lack of maintenance
For urgent storm situations, we offer 24-hour emergency roof repairs and emergency tarping.
