Why Proper Installation Matters More Than Anything in Roofing
When homeowners invest in a new roof, ventilation upgrade, or insulation project, they’re not just buying materials - they’re buying peace of mind. And while most products today come with a manufacturer’s warranty, there’s one crucial detail every homeowner needs to know:
That warranty is only valid if the product is installed properly.
At Weatherproof Roofing, we’ve seen first-hand how improper installation can cause products to fail long before their time. Unfortunately, when that happens, manufacturers will often deny warranty claims, leaving homeowners stuck with costly repairs.
Why Improper Installation Voids Warranties
Manufacturer Standards Must Be Met: Shingles, underlayment, vents, and insulation all come with manufacturer guidelines. If those aren’t followed to the letter, the product is considered compromised.
Early Failures Are Almost Always Installation Errors: When a roof leaks after only a few years, it’s rarely because the shingles themselves are defective. More often, it’s because flashing wasn’t sealed properly, nails weren’t placed correctly, or ventilation wasn’t installed according to spec.
Warranty Denial Is Common: If a manufacturer inspects your roof after a claim and finds evidence of improper installation, they won’t cover it, leaving the entire cost on the homeowner.
The Hidden Cost of a Bad Roof Installation
Too often, we meet Edmonton homeowners who trusted a low-cost roofing company that disappeared as soon as problems arose. Our team knows exactly how to spot an improperly installed roof, and we’ve seen it all - everything from improperly nailed shingles to poorly sealed valleys and misaligned vents.
And when those homeowners try to track down the original company for roof installation warranty support, they discover the contractor is nowhere to be found.
Why Track Record & Community Presence Matter
To choose a reliable roofing contractor, it’s not just about the lowest bid. You need to ask:
Does this company have a proven track record in the community?
Do they follow manufacturer specifications every single time?
Will they be here years from now if I need warranty service?
