    2. Contractor warranty: This warranty is issued by the roofing contractor who performed the work. This type of warranty covers labor. If your roof does not perform as it should due to errors in installation, the contractor will come back and make it right.

  • Asphalt roofs are ideal for snowy climates because they are durable and weatherproof. On the other hand, metal roofs require more maintenance, including inspections every 5 to 10 years. Metal roofs naturally expand and contract with changing temperatures, which can cause components to come loose, screws to back out, and caulking to tear.
