Misconception 1: The roofing warranty covers all types of damage.
Many homeowners believe that the warranty protects against any and all damage to their roof. However, this is not the case. The warranty specifically excludes damages caused by natural disasters, structural failures, and alterations made to the roof. Understanding these limitations is crucial for homeowners.
Misconception 2: The warranty is automatically valid upon installation.
Some individuals assume that the warranty takes effect as soon as the roof is installed. In reality, the warranty only becomes valid once the installation is complete and all associated costs are paid in full. Homeowners should ensure they meet these conditions to activate their warranty.
Misconception 3: The warranty is transferable without any conditions.
Homeowners often think they can transfer the warranty to a new buyer without any formalities. This is incorrect. The warranty is transferable, but it requires a written request from the new homeowner and must be signed by the original homeowner. This process is essential to maintain the warranty's validity.
Misconception 4: Regular cleaning of the roof is optional.
It is a common belief that roof cleaning is not a requirement for maintaining the warranty. In fact, the warranty stipulates that the roof must be cleaned every two years, unless MCS Roofing determines otherwise. If this cleaning is not performed, the warranty may become void, which can lead to unexpected costs for homeowners.
