Two warranties, and the one that gets forgotten

Every roof comes with two promises. The manufacturer stands behind the shingle, and the roofer stands behind the installation. Homeowners are usually shown the first one in a brochure and never told much about the second, which is unfortunate, because the overwhelming majority of roof failures we are called out to in Southern Illinois are installation problems rather than product defects — nails driven high or overdriven, flashing reused instead of replaced, valleys shortcut, ventilation ignored.

Our work carries a limited lifetime workmanship warranty. And because John Beal Roofing has been family owned and operated since 1947, the company that issued it is still the company that answers the phone.

  • Limited lifetime warranty on our workmanship
  • Manufacturer material warranties on the shingles and system components
  • Our own employees on the roof, which is what makes a workmanship warranty meaningful
  • BBB Torch Award winner for ethics
  • Free inspections and free written estimates, no obligation

Questions about the guarantee

What does the workmanship warranty cover?
The installation itself — how the roof was put on. Manufacturer warranties cover the shingle; ours covers our hands.
Is the warranty transferable if I sell the house?
Ask us about the specific warranty on your job and we will tell you exactly what transfers rather than guessing here.
What good is a lifetime warranty if the company disappears?
None, which is the honest answer and the reason we lead with 1947. A warranty is only worth the company behind it.
