Roof warranties come in two parts: the manufacturer warranty (covers shingle defects, paid by the manufacturer) and the labor warranty (covers installation work, paid by the contractor). Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty is one of the strongest manufacturer warranties available - lifetime on shingle defects on premium architectural shingles. Our 30-year Quality Roof Pros labor warranty covers the install. Both transfer once when you sell the home. (732) 770-3867 for a free inspection.
Manufacturer Warranty - What It Actually Covers
Shingle material defects: cracking, premature granule loss, manufacturing flaws. Doesn’t cover wear and tear, wind damage, or installation errors.
Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty covers shingle defects for the life of the roof. Registered at install time.
Labor Warranty - What It Actually Covers
Installation defects: nail placement, flashing seams, valley work, ventilation balance. Doesn’t cover the shingles themselves (that’s the manufacturer side).
Our 30-year QRP labor warranty is among the strongest in NJ. Most installers carry 5-10 year labor warranties.
Transferability
Both warranties transfer once to a new owner when you sell. Some manufacturers charge a $50-$100 transfer fee.

Why the Materials Warranty Matters
Standard installs get a more limited manufacturer warranty (typically 25-30 year limited rather than Lifetime).
Ask any contractor which manufacturer’s system they install and what materials warranty it carries. See our how to choose a roofer guide for the full vetting process.

We register the manufacturer warranty during the final walkthrough. Both warranties get documented in your closeout paperwork.
