At Linta Roofing, we hear the same story all too often: a homeowner invests in a new roof, only to discover that making a warranty claim is a long battle between their shingle manufacturer and their roofing company.
Between manufacturer-only coverage, national call centers, and slow claims processing, most roofing warranties create more frustration than peace of mind. We’ve seen homeowners go through months of dead-end phone calls, delayed inspections, and rejected claims, only to be told their issue isn’t covered after all. If you live in Myrtle Beach and want a roofing warranty that’s actually designed to protect you, keep reading. We’re breaking down the difference between standard manufacturer warranties and Linta Roofing’s new in-house warranties.
Why Most Roofing Warranties Frustrate Homeowners
Most warranties sound strong, but when you need them, they fall short.
You deal with 1-800 numbers and national call centers
Claims drag on for weeks or months
Nobody takes responsibility
In some scenarios, only materials are covered
Homeowners are left waiting, wondering who’s going to fix their roof.

We own the workmanship warranty from start to finish
We make the decisions

We are fully accountable

5 Questions to Ask Any Roofer Before You Sign
Always ask great questions about your roof warranty, like:
Who handles my warranty claim, you or a third party?
How long does warranty service usually take?
Is this a contractor or manufacturer warranty?
Do you offer in-house workmanship coverage?
Can I see exactly what’s covered and what’s not?
The Bottom Line on Roofing Warranties
When it comes to roofing warranties, it’s easy to be swayed by what sounds good at the moment, especially during a sales conversation. But take a moment to look beyond the promises and consider who’s standing behind them.
A manufacturer warranty can be a great layer of protection, especially when paired with a local installer who’s been around long enough to actually honor it. After all, a 50-year warranty from a company that’s only been in business for five years may not provide the peace of mind it seems to promise.
At Linta Roofing, we’ve been in this community for decades and we’re in it for the long haul. That means if there’s ever an issue, you’re not calling a national hotline or waiting weeks for a return call. You’re calling us and we’re showing up. That’s the kind of warranty support homeowners tell us they actually value.
So as you're comparing options, don’t just look at the paperwork. Look at the people behind it.
