Roof Warranty Coverage in Northern Colorado
A new roof from Eagle’s Eye Roofing is covered two ways: our workmanship warranty on the installation, and the manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles. Here is what each one is, and what neither one covers.

Who stands behind what.
01
Our workmanship warranty
Every roof we install comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty, which covers the installation work we do.
02
The manufacturer’s warranty
The company that made your shingles warrants them against manufacturing defects, under the terms of its written warranty.
03
Hail is an insurance matter
Shingle warranties do not cover hail damage. Hail damage goes through your homeowners insurance. Here is how we document a roof for a claim.
Layer one: our work
A 10-year warranty on the work we do.
Every roof we install comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty, which covers the installation work we do. It is separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles themselves.
Ask us for the full terms before you sign. The written terms are what count, so read them before you decide.
Before you sign, ask us for:
- The written terms of our 10-year workmanship warranty
- The brand and product line going on your roof (see roofing materials)
- The manufacturer’s written warranty for that product
- On a GAF roof, whether it qualifies for GAF’s System Plus Limited Warranty

Layer two: the materials
The shingle maker’s warranty.
The company that makes your shingles warrants them against manufacturing defects. The terms are in that maker’s written warranty for the product on your roof. We install three brands, and each carries its own manufacturer’s limited warranty. As a GAF Certified contractor, we can offer GAF’s System Plus Limited Warranty on qualifying GAF roof systems — ask us whether your roof qualifies.
What warranties do not cover
Hail damage is an insurance matter.
Shingle warranties do not cover hail damage. If a storm damages your roof, that is a question for your homeowners insurance, not a warranty. We inspect the roof and document the damage with photos and a written scope you can share with your insurer.
