This Limited Transferable Project Warranty (“Warranty”) applies only to the specific project identified in the associated Proposal, Agreement, Work Authorization, or Completion Form (“Contract”). This Warranty is incorporated by reference into the Contract and is subject to all Terms & Conditions contained therein. In the event of conflict, the Contract Terms & Conditions control.

1. LIMITED WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY

Warrantor warrants to the Owner (“Owner”) that the Work performed under the Contract will not leak due solely to improper application by Warrantor under ordinary weather conditions, subject to all exclusions herein. If a leak is determined by Warrantor in its reasonable professional judgment to have resulted solely from improper application, Warrantor shall supply labor and materials necessary to repair the specific defective area.

This Warranty covers repair only. It does not cover consequential, incidental, interior, or secondary damages of any kind.

2. WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY COVERAGE PERIODS

All Warranty periods begin on the earlier of (i) Substantial Completion as defined in the Contract, or (ii) the date the final invoice is first submitted to Owner by Warrantor, unless otherwise specified in writing.

Complete Roof Systems greater than 2/12 or Manufacturer guaranteed systems

For all complete “edge-to-edge” roof system installations or replacements (including membrane/surface, underlayment or insulation, flashings, and edge metal/coping necessary to waterproof the roof surface) that are greater than 2/12 pitch or that include a Manufacturer NDL or equivalent guarantee or warranty:

• FIVE (5) YEARS from substantial completion

For Manufacturer guaranteed systems, the first 2 years (24 months) from substantial completion is a no-maintenance required period. The remaining 3 years (24 to 60 months) from substantial completion REQUIRE STANDARD MAINTENANCE per the Manufacturer guidelines and checklists. These checklists and maintenance items must be documented and performed by Owner or Warrantor in order to keep all warranties valid and active.

Failure to provide written maintenance documentation upon request shall suspend Warranty coverage until such documentation is produced.

Complete Roof Systems 2/12 or less with no Manufacturer Guarantee

For complete “edge-to-edge” roof system installations or replacements less than or equal to 2/12 pitch (including membrane/surface, underlayment or insulation, flashings, and edge metal/coping necessary to waterproof the roof surface) that do not include a Manufacturer NDL or equivalent guarantee or warranty:

• TWO (2) YEARS from substantial completion

Repair work, leak repairs, incomplete or partial roof systems, skylight installations, gutter & downspout systems, or any non-roofing work

For all Work listed above, including said Work that is part of a complete roof system:

• ONE (1) YEAR from substantial completion

Due to the complex and unpredictable nature of roof leaks:

Warrantor does not guarantee that a repair will permanently eliminate all leakage conditions.  If further leaks occur, additional repairs may be required at Owner’s expense unless directly caused by improper application of the original repair.

3. WARRANTY CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

This Warranty is strictly conditioned upon full compliance with the Contract.

Payment Requirement (Material Condition)

• Payment in full of the Contract Price and in strict accordance with all Payment Terms is a material condition precedent to warranty coverage.
  • This Warranty is null and void if payments are not received in accordance with Contract terms.
  • Failure to pay non-warranty service invoices in accordance with this Warranty, the Terms & Conditions, and Warrantor’s standard service invoice terms voids all Warranties.

Payment constitutes the sole consideration for this Warranty.

Owner Responsibilities

Owner must:

1. Notify Warrantor in writing within ten (10) days of discovering any defect.
2. Submit a completed Warranty Claim & Service Request form.
3. Permit prompt inspection and repair.
4. Notify Warrantor within fourteen (14) days following any severe weather event.
5. Maintain proper drainage and keep roof free of debris.
6. If applicable, have a documented maintenance program active as required by Warrantor’s and Manufacturer’s written warranties.

Failure to comply voids coverage for resulting conditions.

Warrantor reserves the right to inspect the roof annually during the warranty period.

4. WARRANTY CLAIM PROCESS

If a claimed condition is determined to be covered by Warrantor in its reasonable professional judgment:

• Warrantor shall inspect and repair within a commercially reasonable time.

If a claimed condition is determined not to be covered by Warrantor in its reasonable professional judgment:

• Warrantor may, at Owner’s sole expense, inspect and make repairs up to the Owner’s pre-authorization amount outlined below. If the repair amount exceeds this pre-authorization amount, Warrantor shall obtain Owner’s written authorization for repairs and perform repairs at Owner’s sole expense.

Owner’s Pre-Authorization for Non-Warranty Repairs

Owner hereby pre-authorizes Warrantor to perform non-warranty repairs up to Warrantor’s current minimum service call mobilization rate without further approval. Owner agrees to pay associated service invoices per Warrantor’s standard service invoicing terms.

Wind, hail, or ice damage terminates workmanship coverage for affected areas unless repaired by Warrantor under a separate written agreement. Owner shall contact Warrantor immediately after any of these events.

5. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
