Roofing Warranty Information

A quality roof is a major investment. Every asphalt shingle replacement from Best Roofing Now carries a 50-year manufacturer warranty plus a 15-year workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer. Repairs carry a 1-year workmanship warranty on roofs under 10 years old (6 months on roofs 10+ years old), and flat and commercial systems carry 15 to 40 year manufacturer-backed warranties. That coverage protects your investment across Charlotte and the surrounding communities of Ballantyne, SouthPark, Steele Creek, University City, and the Lake Norman towns of Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville. All top-tier warranties are transferable to the next homeowner within 60 days of sale.

Warranty FAQs

Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?

Most manufacturer warranties are transferable to the new homeowner, which adds value to your home. Some may have a transfer fee or time limit. We'll explain your specific warranty terms.

What's the difference between prorated and non-prorated?

A prorated warranty reduces coverage over time—a 25-year warranty might only cover 50% of costs at year 15. Non-prorated provides full coverage for the entire term.

Do I need to register my warranty?

Most manufacturers require warranty registration within 30-60 days of installation. We handle this paperwork for you and provide copies for your records.

What if my contractor goes out of business?

Workmanship warranties are only as good as the company backing them. That's why choosing an established, reputable contractor like Best Roofing Now—serving Charlotte since 2019—matters.
