FAQ
Frequently asked questions
All Local Roofing And Exteriors roofing shingles and qualifying accessories (the “Local Roofing And Exteriors Products”) come with the coverage provided by the Local Roofing And Exteriors Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty, and you don’t need to do anything at all to get it. In the event you experience a problem with your Local Roofing And Exteriors Products caused by a manufacturing defect, this warranty is a great start. See Local Roofing And Exteriors Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.
Neither the Local Roofing And Exteriors Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty nor the Local Roofing And Exteriors Roofing System Limited Warranty require registration. Simply hold on to your proof of purchase (such as your contract with your installer, or invoice from roofing supply store or retail store where you purchased the Local Roofing And Exteriors Products), which will need to be provided to Local Roofing And Exteriors in the unlikely event you experience a problem with your Local Roofing And Exteriors Products during the warranty term and need to file a claim. Enhanced warranties (such as the System Plus Limited Warranty, Silver Pledge Limited Warranty, and Golden Pledge Limited Warranty) do require registration, but your Local Roofing And Exteriors Certified Contractor will take care of that. If you purchase an enhanced warranty from a Local Roofing And Exteriors Certified Contractor and do not receive a copy of your warranty and registration within 60 days after the installation is complete, contact Local Roofing And Exteriors at 610-915-8551.

When you install a Local Roofing And Exteriors Roofing System (defined as Local Roofing And Exteriors Lifetime Shingles plus at least 3 Qualifying Accessories), you are automatically eligible for the coverage provided by the Local Roofing And Exteriors Roofing System Limited Warranty – which provides the same great coverage as the Local Roofing And Exteriors Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty, but adds lifetime coverage on your Qualifying accessory products. Depending on what products you install, you may also be eligible for the WindProven Limited Wind Warranty. See Local Roofing And Exteriors Roofing System Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.
The System Plus Limited Warranty provides all of the same coverage available in the Local Roofing And Exteriors Roofing System Limited Warranty, but the Smart Choice Protection Period is extended from 10 years to 50 years, and tear-off is included (when necessary). See System Plus Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.
The Silver Pledge Limited Warranty provides all of the same coverage available in the System Plus Limited Warranty, but also offers 10 years of workmanship coverage and disposal (when necessary). See Silver Pledge Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.
The Golden Pledge Limited Warranty provides all of the same coverage available in the Silver Pledge Limited Warranty, but the workmanship coverage lasts for 20, 25, or 30 years (depending on the type of shingles you choose to install). See Golden Pledge Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.
The word “Lifetime” refers to the length of coverage provided by your Local Roofing And Exteriors warranty and means as long as you, the original owner(s) [or the second owner(s) if coverage was properly transferred during the Smart Choice Protection Period], own the property where the shingles and/or accessories are installed. The Lifetime Limited Warranty is applicable only to shingles and accessories installed on a single-family detached residence owned by individuals. For any other type of owner or building, such as a corporation, governmental entity, religious entity, condominium or homeowner association, school, apartment building, office building, or multi-use structure, the length of the warranty is 40 years.
