Warranty language
Manufacturer material warranty is not the same as workmanship warranty. Ask how long workmanship is covered and who honors it if the company changes.
"Lifetime" marketing often has fine print — ask for the actual document.
Red flags in quotes
- One lump sum with no materials named
- No mention of ice protection on a NH roof
- Pressure to sign same-day after a storm
- Payment 100% upfront
