Limited vs Unlimited Lifetime Warranty

It is important to understand the difference in warranty coverage between a Lifetime and Limited Lifetime Warranty. Below we will explain the difference and why Shield Roofing Systems LLC’s Workmanship Warranty is considered “limited” despite your roof being fully covered.
A warranty is considered limited by law if it does not meet all the below criteria as prescribed. Many company’s claim to have a “Lifetime” Warranty but in fact the warranty is limited. We want our clients to understand the difference and see that we are being honest in our pursuit to offer the best workmanship warranty on the market.
While we do technically have “limits” to our warranty, we believe that the manufacturer warranty in combination with our workmanship warranty will have you covered for as long as you own this roofing system.
If a company must answer “no” to any of these 5 questions below, they are in fact offering a limited warranty.

1. The Company will provide warranty service to anyone owning the product during the warranty
period.

• While we do offer you, the purchaser, a lifetime workmanship warranty that covers our
  installation, it is not currently transferable if you sell or transfer the home.

2. The Company provides warranty service free of charge.

• Shield Roofing will cover the cost of labor and material if your roofing system fails due to
  improper installation as determined by Shield Roofing Systems LLC.

3. You will provide either a replacement or a full refund, at the consumer’s choice, if you can’t repair the product.

• If the product fails due to improper installation, Shield Roofing will repair the roofing
  system through whichever means it determines appropriate. If the roofing system issue
  is due to product failure, this is covered under the manufacturer warranty and Shield
  Roofing Systems will stand by our client to get the issue resolved.

4. You will provide warranty service without requiring the consumer to return the warranty
registration card.

•  When you receive your Certificate of Completion from Shield Roofing, your warranty is
  automatically registered with us and there is no need for further action.

5. You will not limit the duration of any implied warranty.

• Shield Roofing Systems Lifetime Workmanship Warranty covers the period of expected
  life of your roof for installation defects.
