Warranty FAQ

The four questions we get most

What voids the workmanship warranty?

Structural failure, third-party work on the roof, or installing equipment (satellite, solar, HVAC) without flashing it correctly. Everything else stays covered.

Does the warranty survive a hail storm?

Storm damage is an insurance event, not a warranty claim — but we file, document and rebuild under your policy, and the new roof gets fresh coverage.

How do I transfer it when I sell?

Email us the closing date and the buyer's name within 60 days. We reissue the certificate at no charge.

Do repairs carry a warranty too?

Yes — every repair carries a 2-year leak-free guarantee, and repair cost is credited if you replace within 12 months.

Free, no-pressure inspection

Ready for a roof that outlasts Texas hail season?

A LoveRain inspector walks the roof, flies the drone, photographs every slope and hands you a written report — usually within 48 hours of your call.
