Home/Warranty

Limited lifetime workmanship warranty.

For as long as you own and occupy the home on our roofing work, and 5 years on our electrical work. Here is exactly what each covers, and what it does not - in plain language, before you sign anything.

Get My Free Roof Inspection

CRE Roofing warrants that the roof installation we perform will remain free from defects caused solely by improper workmanship, for as long as the original property owner owns and occupies the property. If a workmanship defect results in a roof leak or failure, we inspect the affected area and, once we confirm the defect is covered, repair the defective workmanship at no labor charge.

We are publishing the exclusions too, because a warranty you only read after a leak is not a warranty, it is a sales line.

What the roofing warranty does not cover

  • Manufacturer defects or failure of the roofing materials themselves
  • Storm damage, including hail, wind, tornadoes, lightning or falling objects
  • Damage caused by animals, pests, trees, foot traffic, abuse or neglect
  • Structural movement, settling, improper ventilation, condensation, or moisture originating inside the property
  • Alterations or repairs made by anyone other than CRE Roofing
  • Gutters, siding, skylights, solar panels, antennas, satellite equipment, HVAC equipment and similar components, unless the contract specifically includes them
  • Leaks or damage originating outside the roofing system we installed
  • Cosmetic conditions that do not affect the roof's ability to shed water
  • Failure to provide reasonable maintenance or to report a suspected problem promptly

The roofing terms, stated plainly

This is a limited workmanship warranty, not a guarantee against every possible roof leak or failure. Manufacturer warranties covering the materials remain subject to the manufacturer's terms. The warranty applies only to work for which CRE Roofing has been paid in full. It is issued to the original property owner and is non-transferable unless we approve the transfer in writing. Warranty service must be requested promptly after the issue is discovered, and we must be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect and perform any covered repairs. Our responsibility is limited to repairing the portion of our workmanship determined to be defective. Consequential and incidental damages are excluded to the extent the law allows.

Why a warranty is only as good as the company

A lifetime workmanship warranty from a crew that leaves the state in November is a piece of paper. Ours is backed by a Warr Acres company with Oklahoma roofing registration #80007347 that has been a BBB Accredited Business since 2023.

Before you accept any roofer's warranty, ask two questions: what is the registration number, and who honors this in five years? Here is how to check an Oklahoma roofer's registration →

A separate warranty, for a separate trade

5-Year Electrical Workmanship Warranty.

CRE Roofing warrants that the electrical work we perform will remain free from defects caused by our own installation or workmanship for 5 years from substantial completion of that work - connections and terminations, mounting and installation of equipment, and installation defects in wiring, conduit, breakers, disconnects, panels and fixtures. Once we confirm a defect is covered, we repair or correct the defective workmanship at no charge for labor or the materials reasonably needed to correct it, at our option.

The equipment itself is a separate warranty. Generators, transfer switches, EV chargers, panels, breakers, surge protection devices and fixtures are covered by the manufacturer's own warranty, not this one - we will help identify which manufacturer warranty applies, but this warranty covers our installation of the equipment, not the equipment.

What it does not cover

  • Manufacturing defects, normal wear, or misuse and lack of maintenance
  • Circuit overloading, or utility voltage fluctuations and outages
  • Lightning and surge events not caused by our workmanship
  • Fire, water, storms, wind, hail, pests, or structural movement
  • Pre-existing conditions or code violations outside our contracted scope
  • Existing wiring or equipment we did not install or modify
  • Third-party alterations made after our work
  • Failure of connected equipment not caused by our workmanship

The electrical terms, stated plainly

This warranty applies only to the portions of an existing system that we actually installed or modified, not to wiring or equipment we never touched. To make a claim, notify us within a reasonable period and during the warranty term, and give us a reasonable chance to inspect before another contractor makes permanent repairs, except in a genuine emergency. The remedy is repair, replacement or correction of the defective portion of our work. It is issued to the original property owner and is non-transferable unless we approve a transfer in writing, and a third-party alteration after our work may void the warranty as to the affected portion.

5 Years. Our Workmanship. Our Responsibility.

Roofing warranty - common questions

What does the limited lifetime workmanship warranty cover?

It covers defects caused solely by improper workmanship on the roof we installed, for as long as the original owner owns and occupies the property. If a workmanship defect causes a leak or failure, we inspect it and, once confirmed as covered, repair the defective workmanship at no labor charge.

What is not covered?

Manufacturer defects and material failure, storm damage of any kind including hail and wind, damage from animals, pests, trees, foot traffic, abuse or neglect, structural movement, settling, improper ventilation, condensation or moisture originating inside the property, alterations or repairs made by anyone other than CRE Roofing, and components like gutters, siding, skylights, antennas or HVAC equipment unless the contract specifically includes them. Cosmetic conditions that do not affect the roof's ability to shed water are also excluded.

Is it transferable if I sell the house?

It is issued to the original property owner and is not transferable unless we approve the transfer in writing.

What do I have to do to keep it valid?

Provide reasonable maintenance, report a suspected problem promptly rather than after the damage spreads, and give us a reasonable opportunity to inspect and perform any covered repair. The warranty applies to work we have been paid in full for.

How is this different from a manufacturer warranty?

A manufacturer warranty covers the shingles themselves and is governed by the manufacturer's own terms. Ours covers the installation. Most roof failures are installation failures, which is why this is the one that usually matters - and why it is only worth something from a company that will still be here.

Electrical warranty - common questions

What does the 5-Year Electrical Workmanship Warranty cover?

Defects caused by our own installation or workmanship on the electrical work we performed, for 5 years from substantial completion of that work. That includes connections and terminations, mounting and installation of equipment, and installation defects in wiring, conduit, breakers, disconnects, panels and fixtures. We repair or correct covered workmanship at no charge for labor or the materials reasonably needed to correct it, at our option.

Does this cover the generator, panel, breakers or fixtures themselves?

No. The equipment itself - generators, transfer switches, EV chargers, panels, breakers, surge protection devices, fixtures - is covered by the manufacturer's own warranty, not this one. We will help identify which manufacturer warranty applies to your equipment, but our workmanship warranty covers our installation of it, not the part itself.

What is not covered?

Manufacturing defects, normal wear, misuse or lack of maintenance, circuit overloading, utility voltage fluctuations or outages, lightning and surge events not caused by our workmanship, fire, water, storms, wind, hail, pests, structural movement, pre-existing conditions or code violations outside our contracted scope, existing wiring or equipment we did not install or modify, third-party alterations made after our work, and failure of connected equipment not caused by our workmanship.

Does it cover my existing wiring, or only what CRE Roofing installed?

Only the portions we installed or modified. Existing systems we did not touch are not covered.

How do I make a claim?

Notify us within a reasonable period and during the warranty term, and give us a reasonable chance to inspect before another contractor makes permanent repairs, except in a genuine emergency. The remedy is repair, replacement or correction of the defective portion of our work - not a refund or a new installation of unrelated equipment.

Is it transferable if I sell the house?

It is non-transferable unless we approve a transfer in writing. Third-party alterations after our work may also void the warranty as to the affected portion.
