🏠Is Your Brand New Roof "Striped"? It Might Be a Manufacturer Defect.
You just invested in a brand-new roof, but something looks off. Maybe you notice strange horizontal striping, severe color blending issues, or uneven dark lines across your shingles.
Before you blame your contractor, there’s something you should know: it might be a manufacturer defect.
🔍 Signs to Watch For:
"Striping" or Banding: Uneven, distinct lines that don’t blend out after a few weeks of sun exposure.
Early Blistering or Cracking: Small bubbles or cracks on brand-new shingles.
Hidden Flaws: Some defects are incredibly subtle and take months to fully show up.
🛑 Out of the Installer’s Hands
When shingles leave the factory with a flaw, it is completely out of the installation crew's control. They can install a structurally perfect roof to exact codes, but they can’t fix a chemical or cosmetic issue baked into the shingle itself at the factory. Often times, the defect isn’t noticeable until a job is near complete.
🛡️ Why the Right Company Matters
If your roof has a factory defect, you shouldn’t have to pay for it twice. But fighting a massive manufacturer for a warranty replacement can be a frustrating headache.
The right roofing contractor won't just say "not our fault" and walk away. They will step in, document the issue, handle the complex claim process, and leverage their relationship with the manufacturer to get your roof replaced properly.
