Included
01Generates the full warranty document from your actual job — no boilerplate to retype, no fields left blank
02Tuned for the roof you actually installed — architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration), TPO/EPDM/PVC membrane, standing seam metal, tile, modified bitumen
03Handles workmanship vs. manufacturer warranties separately so homeowners know who to call for what
04Defines wind/hail exclusions with specific MPH and diameter thresholds — no 'unusual weather' disputes later
05Transferability clause with your fee, your transfer window, and whether it carries to subsequent owners
06Flags unreasonable terms before they hit paper — 'lifetime transferable, all water damage waived' will get pushed back with industry-norm language
07NRCA-aligned reference covers warranty durations, exclusion language, and state notes for FL hurricane zones, CA C-39, TX, NY, IL, CO
What it does
Most contractors hand out the same three-paragraph roofing warranty template downloaded off a forum in 2014, then deal with the disputes 18 months later. This skill generates a personalized roofing contractor warranty document from your actual job — your company name and license, the homeowner address, the system you installed (GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, Firestone UltraPly TPO, Drexel Metals standing seam, concrete tile), the manufacturer warranty period, your workmanship term, and any custom exclusions for ponding, dissimilar metals, satellite penetrations, or owner-added skylights.
The output is a clean, print-ready HTML document with a auto-generated certificate number, 10 standard sections (parties, system covered, manufacturer warranty, workmanship warranty, exclusions, homeowner maintenance, claim process, transfer, limitation of liability, signatures), and your footer. It's built for residential and light-commercial roofing companies who want a roof warranty template that actually reflects the work performed — not a generic doc that creates more disputes than it prevents.
A bundled NRCA-aligned reference (warranty-standards-reference.md) covers industry-standard workmanship warranty durations by roof system, transferability norms, exclusion language best practices, and state-specific considerations for Florida, Texas, California, New York, Illinois, and Colorado. It will not write a blanket all-water-damage waiver or an unenforceable 'lifetime' transfer clause — it pushes back with the industry-standard alternative instead.
Frequently asked
What should a roofing workmanship warranty actually cover?
Installation defects — improper flashing, inadequate fastener patterns, faulty seam welds, valley failures, ridge cap failures, penetration seals. It should NOT cover acts of God beyond the local building code wind threshold, foot traffic damage, post-install penetrations, or normal granule loss. The skill writes both lists with specifics, not vague language.
How do I write a roof warranty exclusion for hail and wind damage?
Anchor it to specifics: wind exceeding the local ASCE 7 design wind speed in MPH (often 90-110 standard, 130-160 on the Gulf Coast), and hail exceeding a defined diameter (typically 1 inch / quarter-size). 'Unusual weather' or 'hurricane-force winds' without a number is what causes the dispute. The skill drops in the right threshold based on the property location.
Is a transferable roofing warranty standard?
Workmanship warranties are usually a selling point when transferable. Standard practice is a one-time transfer to the immediate next owner only, with a $75-$200 admin fee and a 30-60 day notice window. Lifetime, multi-transfer, or no-fee variants are unusual — the skill will flag them and ask if it's intentional before writing them into the doc.
Does it work for flat TPO and standing seam metal too, or just shingles?
All major residential and light-commercial systems — architectural and 3-tab shingles, TPO/EPDM/PVC single-ply membrane, standing seam metal, concrete/clay tile, modified bitumen, BUR. The exclusion language and maintenance obligations shift accordingly — oil-canning callouts for metal, ponding-water disclosures for flat, foot-traffic exclusions for tile.
Can't I just edit a Word template I already have?
You can. But the value here is the per-system clause adjustments, the state-specific notes (Florida Miami-Dade product approval, California C-39, Texas contract law), and the bundled NRCA-aligned reference that tells you what's industry-normal vs. what's going to backfire. If a homeowner pushes back on a term, the reference has the answer.
