When investing in a flat roof for your Toronto home or commercial property, it’s important to think beyond just installation. A well-installed flat roof should come with a clear warranty and guarantee, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment. But not all warranties are the same. Understanding the types, terms, and limits of a flat roof warranty in Toronto ensures that you know exactly what’s covered—and what isn’t.
At Flat Roof Toronto, we believe every flat roof should be backed by strong warranty protection. We stand behind our work with comprehensive coverage, clearly explained to our clients during every project. From materials to workmanship, our warranties are designed to give you real value—not just fine print.
There are typically two types of warranties with flat roofing systems: manufacturer warranties and workmanship warranties. A manufacturer warranty covers defects in the roofing materials themselves. This applies to membranes such as TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen. These warranties often range from 10 to 30 years, depending on the product and whether it was installed under approved conditions. As a trusted flat roofing company, we work only with certified materials from industry-leading brands, ensuring you qualify for the best manufacturer coverage available.
The second type is a workmanship warranty, which covers errors in installation. Even the best roofing material will fail if installed incorrectly. Our team provides a workmanship guarantee that ensures your flat roof performs as promised. If an issue arises due to faulty installation within the covered period, we’ll correct it at no extra cost.
So what does a warranty typically cover? For manufacturer warranties, expect coverage on membrane failure, cracking, splitting, or manufacturing defects. For workmanship warranties, coverage often includes leaks or damage resulting from incorrect installation of seams, flashing, and other components. However, it’s important to note that most warranties don’t cover damage caused by lack of maintenance, foot traffic, weather events, or modifications by other contractors.
To preserve your warranty, most manufacturers and contractors—including us—require routine maintenance. Skipping inspections or failing to clear drains can void your coverage. That’s why we encourage every client to enroll in an annual maintenance plan. Regular servicing helps document that the roof was cared for properly and gives you early warnings of wear.
In conclusion, a flat roof warranty in Toronto offers essential protection and peace of mind. But not all coverage is equal—understanding your warranty and working with a reliable contractor is key. For high-quality flat roofs backed by real guarantees, trust Flat Roof Toronto to get the job done right.
