Roofing Warranty in Santa Clarita and San Fernando valley, CA

At Modern Solution Roofing, we believe in quality workmanship, honest recommendations, and clear communication.

Workmanship warranty coverage varies depending on the roofing system, materials used, and scope of work performed. Any workmanship warranty offered for your project, including its duration, coverage, and applicable conditions, will be specified in your written contract.

Manufacturer warranties are separate from workmanship warranties and are subject to the applicable manufacturer’s terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements.

Workmanship Warranty Exclusions

Unless otherwise required by law or expressly covered by the written contract, workmanship warranty coverage does not extend to problems caused by:

  • Defects in roofing materials covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Severe weather, fallen trees, fire, or other events outside our control.
  • Modifications or damage caused by other contractors, including solar installers.
  • Lack of maintenance, misuse, or excessive foot traffic.
  • Pre existing structural conditions or building movement.

Manufacturer Material Warranties

We work with trusted roofing manufacturers that offer a range of limited warranty options depending on the roofing material and product selected.

Owens Corning®

Owens Corning offers Limited Lifetime warranty coverage on their popular architectural shingles. When installed as a complete system, coverage can include extended non prorated protection for up to 50 years depending on the system tier. For California Title 24 compliance, Owens Corning features the Duration® Cool shingle line, delivering high solar reflectance without sacrificing beauty.

 

GAF®

Qualifying GAF Lifetime Shingles carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty, with enhanced tiers providing up to a 50-year Smart Choice protection period on complete systems. To meet strict California Title 24 cool roof requirements, we install the GAF Timberline® HDZ™ Reflector Series, which features CRRC listed granules designed to reflect solar heat.

Malarkey®

Backed by sustainable, rubberized asphalt technology, Malarkey shingles offer heavy duty impact resistance and Limited Lifetime warranty coverage. Their enhanced system protections vary across Standard, Certified Pro, and Certified Premium tiers. Malarkey’s Highlander® Cool and Vista® Cool shingle lines are specifically engineered to optimize solar reflectance in hot climates.

CertainTeed®

CertainTeed provides a robust line of architectural shingles backed by warranties ranging from 20 years to Limited Lifetime. Their unique SureStart™ protection covers 100% of material and labor costs during the critical early years of the warranty. For cool roof compliance, CertainTeed features the Landmark® Solaris shingle series to keep the attics cooler.

Polyfresko® Cool Roof Systems

For low slope and flat roofing systems, we utilize Polyfresko® G FR by Polyglass. This highly reflective, CRRC listed granulated membrane features a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) that prevents heat transfer into your property. Depending on the complete system design, substrate conditions, and multi ply configuration, Polyglass offers commercial grade manufacturer system warranties stretching up to 15 or 20 years.

Important: The Polyfresko® warranty applies to the qualifying roofing system and is subject to Polyglass warranty terms and requirements. 

Please note: All manufacturer warranties apply strictly to qualifying materials and systems, and are subject to the respective manufacturer’s transfer and solar installation rules.

Please note that standard manufacturer warranties cover basic material defects. Upgrading to a full, extended system level manufacturer warranty involves an additional cost.

The final investment for an extended system warranty depends entirely on: The specific warranty system installed(such as upgrading from basic coverage to an enhanced 50 year non prorated system warranty) The total square footage (sq. ft.) of your roof.

We will break down these exact warranty upgrade costs clearly as transparent options inside your initial roof estimate so you can choose the right level of protection for your property.

What Is Not Covered by Our Workmanship Warranty
At Modern Solution Roofing, we back our installation labor with a dedicated Workmanship Warranty. However, our warranty specifically covers our installation labor and does not cover issues caused by outside forces, third parties, or natural wear and tear. Consequently, these external situations must be handled separately.
Therefore, the following items are excluded from our workmanship warranty:
    • Manufacturer Material Defects: Any failure, blistering, or premature aging of the shingles, tiles, or membranes themselves. Furthermore, these specific issues are covered strictly by the respective Manufacturer’s Material Warranty.
    • Severe Weather & Acts of God: Damage caused by extreme winds exceeding manufacturer ratings, hail, earthquakes, lightning, fires, or fallen tree limbs.
    • Third-Party Alterations: Any leaks or structural issues caused by other contractors working on your roof after our completion. This includes solar panel installations, satellite dish mounts, AC technicians, or gutter installers.

    • Lack of Maintenance & Abuse: Damage resulting from clogged gutters causing water to back up, heavy foot traffic, or failure to clear accumulated debris, leaves, and ponding water over time.
    • Pre-Existing Structural Movement: Leaks or cracking caused by the settling, shifting, or sagging of the home’s original foundation or framing.
