Roofing Warranty Guide — Protecting Your Investment

Understanding Your Roofing Warranty Options

Your roof is one of the biggest investments you will make in your home. The right warranty protects that investment for decades. At Sands Roofing, we believe you should know exactly what your warranty covers, how long it lasts, and what you need to do to keep it valid.

As the Midlands' only TAMKO Diamond Elite contractor, we offer access to warranty coverage that no other local roofer can match — including the exclusive Diamond Shield warranty. Below, we break down every warranty option available to you.

How to Protect Your Warranty

A warranty is only as good as the care you give your roof. Follow these tips to keep your coverage intact for the long term.

  • Schedule annual professional inspections to catch small issues early
  • Keep gutters clean and free of debris to prevent water backup
  • Trim overhanging branches that could damage shingles during storms
  • Never allow unlicensed contractors to work on your roof
  • Document any storm damage promptly and contact us for assessment
  • Avoid pressure washing your shingles, which can void coverage

Want hands-off warranty protection? Our roofing maintenance plans include annual inspections that help keep your warranty valid. We also service gutters and siding to protect your home's entire exterior.

Warranty FAQs

Common actions that can void your roofing warranty include having unlicensed contractors perform work on your roof, improper ventilation or attic insulation modifications, pressure washing shingles, installing satellite dishes or solar panels without proper flashing, and neglecting routine maintenance. Our roofing maintenance plans help you stay on track and keep your warranty intact.
Yes. The TAMKO Diamond Shield warranty, available exclusively through Diamond Elite contractors like Sands Roofing, is transferable to new homeowners for up to 20 years. Standard and Enhanced TAMKO warranties have limited transferability. This makes your home more attractive to buyers if you decide to sell.
Warranty duration depends on the level of coverage. The Standard warranty provides 30 years of limited material coverage. The Enhanced warranty extends that with additional labor protection. The Diamond Shield warranty offers 50-year material coverage and 25 years of craftsmanship protection, is transferable for up to 20 years, and includes wind coverage up to 160 MPH. Our 15-year craftsmanship guarantee is in addition to any manufacturer warranty. Contact us for details on your specific coverage.
For TAMKO manufacturer warranties, registration is recommended to ensure your full coverage is activated. As a TAMKO Diamond Elite contractor, we handle the warranty registration process for you after installation is complete. You will receive your warranty documentation directly from TAMKO confirming your coverage details and terms.
