Warranties differ from insurance.\u00a0 A warranty normally comes with the products or service you buy. It\u2019s often built into the cost, while an extended warranty might be sold separately.\u00a0 Warranties usually cover defects and abnormal wear, so they typically do not cover the cost of repair or replacement if your roof issues were caused by high winds, hail, fire, lightning, earthquakes, negligent acts or structural faults. Whether you bought a full-system warranty, a labor-only warranty or you have a materials-only warranty from a previous roof replacement job, none of these will do you much good and that\u2019s why homeowners insurance is necessary.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
When damage occurs and you need to file a claim with your insurer, do it as soon as possible, especially if the damage was caused by a catastrophic storm, in which case potentially thousands of other people will be filing claims, so you’ll want to get yours in ahead of others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
