Here’s the truth: most roofing contractors are required to offer at least a one-year workmanship warranty. That’s the industry standard. Some might stretch it to two or even five years, but very few go further. We do.

At Valley Roofing, we back our work for as long as the manufacturer backs their materials. If you purchase a 50-year roofing system, we will stand by our installation for the same 50 years. Why? Because we believe in what we do, and we believe in the people we hire to do it.

What Is a Workmanship Guarantee?

Let’s clear something up: not all warranties are the same. There are two types:

Manufacturer’s Warranty: Covers the materials (your shingles, underlayment, etc.). If there’s a defect in the product, the manufacturer is responsible.

Workmanship Warranty: Covers the installation. If the roof leaks because of how it was installed, not because the shingle itself failed, this is the warranty that matters.

Why it matters:

Even the best shingles in the world won’t protect your home if they’re installed incorrectly. A workmanship warranty is your safeguard that if a mistake happens during installation, you won’t be the one paying for it.

Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t think about the difference between these warranties until something goes wrong, and by then, it’s too late.

What Most Roofing Contractors Offer (and Why It’s Not Enough)

Most roofing companies play it safe with their promises. Here’s the industry norm:

One year of workmanship coverage (some extend to 2–5 years).

After that period, you’re on your own.

Why so short? A few reasons:

• They don’t want the long-term responsibility.
• They can’t promise their crews will be around or doing things the same way in 10 or 20 years.
• They know that cutting corners is easier when there’s no long-term accountability.

The problem? Roofing issues often don’t show up right away, and when it does, the “standard” warranty is long expired, and you’re left footing the bill.

How Valley Roofing Raises the Bar

We think that’s unacceptable. When you hire us, we believe you deserve a promise that lasts. That’s why:

• We match the manufacturer’s warranty period. Buy a 50-year roof? You get a 50-year workmanship guarantee.
• We train and trust our team. We don’t hand out this level of assurance lightly. Our installers are factory-trained and follow strict Valley Roofing quality standards.
• We’re also proud to be recognized as a CertainTeed Select Shingle Master and an Emerald Premium Contractor for Malarkey Roofing Products. These elite certifications mean we meet rigorous standards for installation expertise, ongoing training, and customer satisfaction. Only a small percentage of roofers earn these distinctions, and they allow us to offer our customers stronger manufacturer-backed warranties—because CertainTeed and Malarkey trust us to install their products the right way, every time.
• We’ll be here. We’ve been serving Salem and the Mid-Valley for decades. You can count on us to honor that warranty, whether it’s next year or 30 years from now.

 This is our way of saying:

We stand by every nail we drive and every shingle we lay, for as long as your roof is meant to last.

Why This Promise Matters for Salem & Mid-Valley Homeowners

A roof shields and protects everything inside a home or building. Knowing your roofer is committed to standing behind their work for decades gives you:

1. True Peace of Mind

You won’t have to worry about workmanship-related leaks years down the road. If something wasn’t done right (rare, but it happens), we’ll fix it. Simple as that.

2. Added Home Value

A transferable workmanship guarantee is a selling point. When buyers see that the roof comes with long-term coverage, they feel more confident making an offer, and often a higher one.

3. Accountability You Can Count On

We don’t disappear after finishing the job. When we say, “we’ve got your back,” we mean it. That level of accountability changes how we approach every project.

We get many questions about our promise, and we’re happy to answer them. Here are some of the most common:

Why Hire a Roofing Contractor With a Strong Guarantee?

• Higher quality work: Roofers who offer extended warranties have every incentive to get the job done right the first time.
• Confidence & trust: You’re not left wondering, “What happens if something goes wrong?” You already know the answer; we’ll fix it.
