A roofing warranty can help you understand what happens if a qualifying product issue or workmanship concern appears after a project. North Wood’s Roofing explains the difference between workmanship and manufacturer warranties, the GAF options we install, and the questions to ask before choosing a roof system for your North Florida home.

How Roofing Warranties Work

Roofing warranties generally fall into two categories. A workmanship warranty relates to the quality of the installation. A manufacturer warranty relates to qualifying defects or performance terms for the roofing products. These warranties are separate, and the exact coverage, limitations, required accessories, and claim process depend on the written terms for the selected roof system.

What North Wood’s Roofing Provides

10-Year Workmanship Warranty

North Wood’s Roofing offers a 10-year workmanship warranty. Ask for the written warranty terms with your project documents so you know what is included, what is excluded, and who to contact with questions.

GAF Product Warranty Options

North Wood’s Roofing is a GAF-certified contractor and installs GAF roofing products. Product coverage varies by product and system. Depending on the selected materials and required accessories, options described on this site include Timberline UHDZ shingles with a 30-year StainGuard Plus PRO Limited Warranty against blue-green algae discoloration, and GAF Lifetime Shingles with qualifying GAF accessories that may qualify for GAF’s Lifetime Limited Warranty.

With GAF Lifetime Shingles and the required combination of four qualifying GAF accessories, the system may qualify for the WindProven Limited Wind Warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation, subject to GAF’s written terms.

What Can Affect Warranty Coverage?

Warranty coverage is tied to the written terms for the roof system, not just a year count or product label. Before choosing an option, ask which of the following apply:

• The exact roofing products and system being installed.
• Any required combination of qualifying accessories.
• The workmanship terms provided by the roofing contractor.
• Manufacturer requirements, limitations, exclusions, and claim instructions.
• Maintenance, alterations, or other conditions addressed in the written documents.

Request the warranty information in writing and keep it with your project records.

Roofing Warranty Questions Homeowners Ask

How long does a roofing warranty last?

There is no single answer. North Wood’s Roofing currently lists a 10-year workmanship warranty, while manufacturer product warranties vary. For example, Timberline UHDZ features a 30-year StainGuard Plus PRO Limited Warranty against blue-green algae discoloration. Ask us to confirm the exact products and written terms for your project.

Does a new roof have both workmanship and manufacturer coverage?

Many roof systems involve both, but the two warranties cover different responsibilities. We can explain which document applies to the products and installation included in your proposal. The written terms control.

What should I ask before signing a roofing contract?

Ask which products are included, what the workmanship warranty covers, what the manufacturer warranty covers, what accessories are required, what maintenance or exclusions apply, and where to go with a future question. Request the warranty information in writing.
