Warranty Information

In direct partnership with Owens Corning, AM Roofing Solutions offers the best roofing warranties in Canada. Unlike most companies who have loose partnerships with roofing manufacturers, AM Roofing Solutions is the only Platinum Preferred Contractor in Canada. The Platinum Preferred Contractor status means that AM Roofing Solutions can offer a  true non-prorated lifetime workmanship warranty.

What Separates Our Warranty From Others In The Industry?

With the Platinum Preferred warranty package that AM Roofing Solutions exclusively offers, any roof we install carries direct backing from Owens Corning. Many roofing warranty packages are only held by the roofing company that offers them, and with roofing being such an unstable industry in Canada, meaning that if this particular roofing company dissolves, so does the customers warranty. With over 64 years in the roofing industry that’s unlikely to happen with a company like AM Roofing Solutions, but even then, we offer the ultimate peace of mind by having Owens Corning, one of the biggest building material suppliers in the world, personally back any work that we do.

While some more established roofing companies in Canada carry their own affiliations with roofing manufacturers, Owens Corning’s Platinum Preferred designation gives AM Roofing Solutions the ability offer the strongest warranty package on the Canadian market. While most roofing warranty packages are limited (only carrying coverage for certain issues), or offer reduced coverage after a number of years (the next closest warranty package to ours has reduced coverage after 25 years for example), the Platinum Preferred warranty guarantees a worry free roofing system for a lifetime.

Don’t Other Roofing Companies Offer Lifetime Warranties?

It has become common practice for roofing companies to market lifetime warranties, but if you read the fine print these warranties only offer coverage for a limited time period. More commonly however, when you start reading the fine print on these warranties, they are prorated - meaning they lose coverage as each year passes. While more established roofing companies may offer better warranty packages, their warranties are typically not true lifetime non-prorated warranties. Another common practice of roofing companies, especially with metal roofing companies, is to draw consumers in with 50 year warranties that guarantee “labour” and “materials” while only offering limited coverage towards workmanship.

What’s The Difference Between Material/Labour Coverage and Workmanship Coverage?

With fibreglass and metal systems carrying long term durability, seldom does the material fail to the point that it leads to interior damage. However, what does commonly happen is a workmanship error that leads to premature failure of the roof system. What labour coverage refers to is that if the materials fail, then the labour to replace these materials are covered. However, with the increasing quality of roofing materials on the market, the chances of your material failing are very low.

What is common, however, is a workmanship error leading to failure of the roof system. Common examples are the high-nailing of shingles leading to wind removing shingles or the failure to follow correct installation practice when staggering shingles. While most warranty packages offer coverage on materials and labour, the most important consideration as a homeowner is choosing a warranty package that covers all three.

By offering a lifetime warranty that covers labour, material, and most important of all, workmanship, AM Roofing Solutions exclusively offers one of the strongest roofing warranties in Canada. Not only do our customers have the ultimate piece of mind in knowing that a sixty-four year old company has their back, but they also have the piece of mind knowing that one of the largest building material suppliers in the world has their back as well.
