FAQ
That’s your decision, and it should match your contract. Check your state’s rules and talk to your attorney before you commit to a term.
Your workmanship warranty covers how you built or installed things. Products carry their own manufacturer warranties; give the client those documents too.

A workmanship warranty is your written promise to fix defects in how you built or installed the work, at no cost to the client, for a set term after completion. It covers your labor and installation, not the products, which carry their own manufacturer warranties. This template sets the term, coverage, exclusions and claim steps. It isn’t legal advice; rules vary by state, so check your state’s license guide.
Yes. Describe the roof work in the work-performed line, such as tear-off, underlayment, shingles, flashing and vents, set your workmanship term, and keep the shingle maker’s warranty separate as a manufacturer warranty. Edit the exclusions to fit roofing, such as damage from storms or work by others. Price the job first with the roofing estimate template.
Whether you must give one, and for how long, depends on your contract and your state, which may also set implied or new-home warranties. Many contractors and builders hand over a written warranty at the end of the job anyway. This isn’t legal advice; ask a local attorney. For a one-year warranty letter, fill in 1 year as the term on this certificate and sign it with the client.
