Invest Once Guarantee
Premium materials and certified installation support a roof built for long-term ownership. For qualifying systems, covered workmanship repairs are provided while you own the home. Review the complete agreement with your Roofing Advisor.
Talk with a Roofing Advisor →No-Risk Guarantee
Your written quote sets the investment. The published guarantee covers additional work discovered during installation when it is needed to install the roof properly. Review the contract for the scope and applicable terms.
Presidential Accountability Guarantee
When a manufacturer declines applicable warranty responsibility, Honest Abe accepts responsibility for covered roof repairs during the agreement’s term.
Ironclad Lowest-Investment Guarantee
Compare equivalent roofing systems before installation. The published guarantee addresses an apples-to-apples proposal offered at a lower investment.
Roof Assurance Guarantee
The published program provides a 365-day opportunity to assess the roof and service, with correction and refund provisions. Review the precise conditions before signing.
Know the protection that comes with your roof
Ask which guarantees apply to your selected materials and installation package. Keep the signed agreement, product information and service contact details together.
A strong promise should be clear in writing.
Ask your Roofing Advisor to explain the Invest Once Guarantee and the other written protection that applies to your selected roof. You should understand what is covered and how to request help.
What does workmanship coverage mean?
Workmanship relates to how a roof is installed. Product coverage relates to the materials. The two may come from different parties and have different terms. Ask for both documents when comparing options.
Does every roof have the same protection?
Coverage depends on the chosen system and the applicable written terms. Ask which guarantees your project qualifies for, how long each lasts, and what conditions or exclusions apply.
What if I sell my home?
Ask whether coverage can transfer, what steps are required and whether there is a deadline or fee. Do not assume a guarantee moves to the next owner automatically.
What should I keep after the project?
Keep the signed scope, paid records, product details and guarantee documents together. Ask how to request service and what information to provide. A clear record makes a later conversation easier.
What to ask before you decide
- Who provides each part of the coverage?
- What are the conditions, exclusions and service steps?
- Which written guarantee applies to my exact roof?
Before you decide.
Good questions make for a better roofing conversation.
Does every project include every guarantee?
Do not assume that. Ask for the guarantees and written terms applicable to your exact project and package.
Is the coverage transferable?
Ask your advisor to show you the transfer provisions, if any, in the current written terms applicable to your project.
