What the Select tier gives you
IKO runs a tiered certification program for roofing contractors. We hold Roof Pro Select, the upper tier, which requires meeting their installation standards and keeping them.
The practical benefit is the Iron Clad warranty. Under it, a claim in year 20 still pays 100 percent of what the materials are worth, with no depreciation taken off. Most material warranties reduce what they pay every year you own the roof, so by year 15 a "lifetime" warranty can be worth very little.
There are not many of us
Including us there are roughly nine IKO-certified contractors in the 15010 area, and a similar number across the North Hills. For a certification that changes what warranty you can actually be offered, that is a short list.
Licensed and insured in Pennsylvania
We carry Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor registration #199428 and full insurance. Pennsylvania requires contractors to display their HIC number on advertising, so if you cannot find one on a competitor's website or truck, that tells you something.
The warranty you end up with
- 2 or 5 years workmanship warranty from us, depending on the package you choose.
- 15 or 20 years IKO Iron Clad warranty on materials, also depending on package.
- Limited lifetime coverage, and all of it transfers to the new owner if you sell the house.
