Questions shoppers ask
Which brand of roofing, siding & insulation has the best warranty?
On paper, Atlas Roofing scores highest, with 10 years of full coverage and longer coverage on some parts. Royal Building Products covers everything longest, at lifetime.
Is a long warranty on roofing, siding & insulation really that long?
Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.
Do I need to register to get the warranty?
None of the 7 brands require registration for their basic coverage. Registering can still get you recall notices. Keep your receipt either way.
