Roof Warranty in Minnesota – Coverage, Upgrades, and Registration Made Simple
A roof warranty is more than fine print, it’s a critical layer of protection for your home and investment. In Minnesota’s challenging climate, understanding how workmanship and manufacturer warranties work can save you from unexpected repair costs, preserve your roof’s performance, and even boost resale value. At Lakes Country Roofing, we simplify the process by explaining your coverage options, helping you decide if a roof upgrade is right, and ensuring your warranty is properly registered from day one. Our goal is to make roof warranty coverage, upgrades, and registration straightforward, so you can enjoy complete confidence in your roofing system.

What’s Covered Under Our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty
At Lakes Country Roofing, we stand behind every installation with lifetime workmanship warranty that covers labor-related defects on all roofing jobs. This means if there’s an issue caused by improper installation, such as flashing errors, fastener problems, or seam failures, we’ll return promptly to correct it at no cost to you. Our crews follow strict installation guidelines for every roofing system we install, from asphalt shingles to standing seam metal. This roof warranty is automatically included with every job, giving homeowners confidence that their roof is not only built to last, but backed by a team that takes responsibility for its performance.
Roofing Brands & Manufacturer Warranty Options
Lakes Country Roofing installs premium roofing systems from trusted brands, each of which offers its own manufacturer warranty to protect against material defects. For asphalt shingle roofs, we work with Tamko and CertainTeed, both of which offer limited lifetime warranties on select product lines. For low-slope roofing, we use Johns Manville, known for their robust commercial-grade protection plans. For metal roofing, we source from multiple vetted vendors, many of whom provide 30 to 50-year warranties depending on the panel system. We also specialize in DaVinci, F-Wave, and cedar shake roofs, which come with their own material warranties. When a customer opts for an upgraded warranty, our team handles the full registration process with the manufacturer to ensure you’re covered from day one.
Should You Upgrade Your Roof Warranty? Pros & Considerations
Upgraded roof warranty isn’t for peace of mind alone, it’s a smart investment that extends coverage, enhances resale value, and protects against future repair costs. Standard manufacturer warranties cover materials and prorate over time. However, upgraded warranties include non-prorated coverage, extended protection for 50 years, and labor costs in case of material failure. At Lakes Country Roofing, we help homeowners decide whether an upgraded warranty makes sense based on roofing system, budget, and long-term plans for the home. If you choose this option, we handle registration with the manufacturer, ensuring your warranty is active and transferable if needed.
How We Register Your Roofing Warranty (So You’re Fully Covered)
When you choose an upgraded roofing warranty through Lakes Country Roofing, we handle the entire registration process to ensure your coverage is fully activated and documented. Once your installation is complete, our team submits the required information directly to the manufacturer, including material batch numbers, installation details, and proof of purchase, so your warranty is properly validated. This service saves you time, eliminates confusion, and ensures there are no gaps in protection. We also provide you with a copy of the registration certificate and keep a digital backup on file in case it’s ever needed for a claim. It’s part of our commitment to delivering not just a roof, but a worry-free experience.
