5 Tips for Successfully Transferring a Roof Warranty

If you are in the process of selling your home and have a current roof warranty, it is important to understand how to transfer that warranty to the new homeowners successfully. A roof warranty can add value to your home and provide peace of mind to potential buyers. So, Watergate Roofing is here to outline five tips for ensuring the transfer of a roof warranty goes smoothly.

1. Contact the Roofing Company

The first step in transferring your roof warranty is to contact the roofing company that issued it. They will have specific procedures for transferring warranties and may require certain documentation or fees. Communication with them early in the selling process is important to ensure everything is in order.

2. Provide Documentation

To transfer a roof warranty, you will likely need to provide documentation such as proof of purchase, original warranty paperwork, and details about any repairs or maintenance done on the roof. Ensure you have all this information available for the roofing company and the new homeowners.

3. Inform the New Homeowners

It is important to communicate with the new homeowners about the existing roof warranty and provide them with all relevant information. This will help set expectations and ensure they understand what is covered under the warranty and what steps they need to take if they encounter any issues with the roof.

4. Transfer Fees

Some roofing companies may charge a fee for transferring a roof warranty to new homeowners. Make sure you know any fees involved in the transfer process so you can budget accordingly. It may be helpful to discuss these fees with potential buyers during negotiations.

5. Follow Up

After completing the transfer of your roof warranty, follow up with both the roofing company and the new homeowners to confirm that everything has been processed correctly. This can help prevent any misunderstandings or issues down the road. Plus, it'll be one less thing for the new homeowners to worry about.
