About

TheRoofFacts.com exists because the roofing industry publishes prices and promises, and almost never publishes consequences. Ask what a roof costs and you will get ten answers. Ask what your “Lifetime” warranty actually pays in year 25, whether hail is covered, or what happens to the warranty when you sell the house, and the answer is buried in legal documents nobody reads. We read them.

Where our numbers come from. Every figure on this site is quoted from a named published source: the manufacturer’s own warranty document with its document code and effective date, published inspector-association data, federal energy research. Each carries the date we verified it. Where a number is an estimate, it is labeled as an estimate. Where we do not hold a verifiable figure, we say so on the page instead of inventing one.

How partners are sourced. When you ask for an estimate, we refer you to one contractor, and how that contractor got there is the part that matters. Partners are selected exclusively on performance and pricing: the quality of their completed work and how their quotes compare for the same job. Placement is not for sale. A contractor cannot pay us more to receive more referrals, cannot pay to appear in our content, and cannot pay to influence a single figure we publish. If a partner’s work or pricing stops holding up, they stop receiving referrals.

Why that arrangement is the whole point. A site paid by whoever bids highest has no business telling you what a warranty is really worth; its incentive is the sale, not the fact. Our incentive only works if the referral is good: we are paid a flat referral fee by the one contractor we connect you with, which means the facts on this site can stay facts.

What we are not. We are a publisher. We do not install, repair, or inspect roofs, we do not sell roofing products, and we are not an insurance company or a public adjuster. Nothing here is professional, legal, or insurance advice for your specific situation.
