When you invest in a new roof in Florida, you’re not just paying for materials and labor — you’re also investing in long-term protection. That’s where warranties come in. But not all roofing warranties are created equal, and understanding the details can save you from unexpected out-of-pocket repairs later.

Whether you're in Miami Beach, West Palm Beach, or Davie, this guide from Hurricane Heroes explains what roofing warranties include, how long they last, and what homeowners should watch for before signing off on a new roof project.

1. The Two Main Types of Roofing Warranties

When you replace your roof, impact-resistant windows you typically receive two types of warranties:

  • Manufacturer Warranty: Covers defects in the roofing materials (shingles, tiles, metal panels, etc.)
  • Workmanship or Labor Warranty: Covers mistakes made during installation (improper flashing, underlayment errors, poor sealing, etc.)

At Hurricane Heroes, we provide both types with every roofing project — because we believe in standing behind our work and our partners' products.

2. Manufacturer Warranty Details

Manufacturer warranties are usually offered by companies that produce roofing materials such as shingles, tiles, or panels. These warranties commonly cover:

  • Manufacturing defects
  • Premature cracking, curling, or granule loss
  • UV protection and algae resistance (for shingles)

Typical durations:

  • Asphalt shingles: 20–30 years
  • Architectural shingles: Limited lifetime warranties
  • Tile and metal roofs: 30–50+ years

Important: These warranties often pro-rate after 10 years, meaning coverage reduces over time. Some manufacturers offer upgraded “non-prorated” warranties for the first 20–50 years if installed by a certified roofer like Hurricane Heroes.

3. Workmanship/Labor Warranty Details

This is the most misunderstood — and often most important — warranty. Most roof issues in Florida are not from bad materials, but from improper installation or flashing failures, especially in areas like Lauderhill, Miami Gardens, or Jupiter where storms expose weak points.

Our standard workmanship warranty:

  • 10-year labor coverage for all residential roof replacements
  • Covers leaks due to installation defects
  • Free repairs if damage results from poor workmanship

We also offer extended warranties for premium roofing systems that extend labor protection up to 25 years.

4. Enhanced “System” Warranties

Some manufacturers allow enhanced warranties if the entire roofing system is installed using their products — including underlayment, starter strips, ridge caps, and ventilation.

For example, using an entire integrated system from a brand may qualify your roof in Pembroke Pines or Wellington for:

  • 50-year non-prorated material warranty
  • 20–25 year labor warranty
  • Full wind coverage (up to 130+ mph)

At Hurricane Heroes, we walk you through these upgrade options when you choose your roof style — especially for homes in HVHZ areas like Hollywood or Cutler Bay.

5. What Voids a Roofing Warranty?

Even the best warranties can be voided if specific conditions aren’t followed. Common reasons include:

  • Improper installation by unlicensed or non-certified roofers
  • Layering new materials over old roofs (illegal in most Florida counties)
  • Poor attic ventilation leading to heat/moisture buildup
  • Unauthorized repairs or roof modifications (e.g., satellite installation, solar panels)

That’s why it’s critical to work with a licensed and certified roofer — especially one familiar with regional codes in places like North Miami Beach, Delray Beach, and Plantation.

6. How to File a Warranty Claim

If you experience a leak or defect, Hurricane Heroes helps you document, submit, and process your warranty claim. Here's what you’ll need:

  • Proof of warranty registration (we handle this for you)
  • Photos or descriptions of the issue
  • Date of installation and material type

We’ve assisted homeowners across Coral Springs, Homestead, and Boca Raton with successful claims — often resolving issues quickly with same-week service.

7. Roofing Warranty FAQs

  • Do hurricanes void warranties? Most warranties don’t cover damage from “Acts of God,” but they will cover material or labor failure that worsens storm damage.
  • Is wind coverage included? Yes, if your roof is installed to FBC code. Most warranties specify a wind resistance level (e.g., up to 130 mph).
  • What if I sell my home? Some warranties are transferable once, usually within the first 10 years. We help ensure your coverage transfers correctly.
