What Our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty Covers
If a problem traces back to an error in our installation, we fix it at no charge for as long as you own the property. This is not a 10 year or 25 year limit like many roofers offer. It’s your house, but it’s our roof, and we stand behind that for as long as you’re the homeowner.
Workmanship Warranty vs Manufacturer Warranty
These are two separate layers of protection, and it helps to understand both. Our workmanship warranty covers our labor, meaning how the roof was installed. A manufacturer warranty, provided directly by companies like GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, or Malarkey, covers defects in the shingles or materials themselves. Equity Builders is certified to install products from all of these manufacturers, and that certification matters because a manufacturer’s material warranty can be reduced or voided if the roof was not installed to their exact standard. Our certification protects both layers of your coverage.
Does the Warranty Transfer If I Sell My Home?
Our workmanship warranty is tied to ownership of the property, not to one specific homeowner, so it continues to protect the home for as long as any owner holds it, including a new owner after a sale. This is a real selling point worth mentioning to a buyer or their inspector.
What Can Affect Warranty Coverage
Like any workmanship warranty, ours covers defects in our own installation work. It does not cover new damage from a future storm, normal wear over time, or work performed or altered by another contractor after our crew completes the job. If you are ever unsure whether an issue is covered, call us and we will inspect it and tell you honestly whether it falls under warranty.
Wind Resistance
Kansas wind gusts are one of the most common causes of roof damage we see across Wichita, Derby, Andover, and the rest of Sedgwick County. Because our crews follow manufacturer installation standards on every job, roofs we install are eligible for the wind coverage built into the manufacturer’s own material warranty, in addition to our workmanship guarantee on the installation itself.
Does the Guarantee Cover Siding, Windows, Doors, and Gutters Too?
Yes. Equity Builders is a general contractor, not just a roofing crew, so the same workmanship standard applies to siding, window, door, and painting work we perform, not only the roof itself.
What If a Problem Shows Up Years Later?
That’s exactly what a lifetime workmanship warranty is for. Call us, and we will schedule an inspection to determine whether the issue traces back to our original installation. If it does, we repair it at no cost to you.
How to File a Warranty Claim
Call Equity Builders at 316-425-0455 and describe the issue. We will schedule an inspection, the same way we do for a free estimate, and give you a clear answer about whether the problem is covered.
Manufacturer Warranty Registration
At the final walkthrough of every project, we register your manufacturer warranty on your behalf as part of the job, so you do not have to handle that paperwork yourself.
Why This Matters in Wichita
Kansas roofs face more punishment than most. Hailstorms, high wind gusts, and summer heat that ages materials faster than milder climates all put extra stress on a roof, which is exactly why a real, lasting workmanship warranty matters more here than in states with calmer weather. Equity Builders has backed its work this way since 1985, and we’re licensed under Kansas contractor license number 2466 and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, both of which you can verify independently before you decide who to trust with your roof.
