Warranty

The Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty

Issued by Interlock Roofing. It covers material and finish for the original purchaser while they own the home, and transfers once: the second owner is covered to 50 years from substantial completion. Workmanship is excluded; in North Carolina the installation is covered by the Metal Roof NC 5-Year Labor Warranty. The Alunar® coating is warranted 30 years, and wind resistance is warranted to 120 mph when installed to manufacturer specification.
