Shaw Floors warranty for flooring
The short version
Shaw Floors doesn't cover everything, but keeps labor on professionally installed floors covered to 2 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 18 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Shaw Floors's published warranty, checked October 2026.
