After a roof replacement, you can expect to receive 2 different warranties:
Manufacturer warranty: After your re-roofing, you can register your warranty on the manufacturer’s website. This type of warranty covers materials. If the materials used on your roof don’t hold up as promised for the duration of their projected lifespan, the manufacturer will cover the cost of repair and material replacement.
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.
