What warranty do wood roofs come with?

Wood Roof Warranties: What Georgia Homeowners Need to Know

Most cedar roofs come with a limited material warranty between 25 to 50 years, depending on:

• Grade of wood: Higher grades like 100% straight-grain heartwood offer longer warranties.

• Treatment: Pressure-treated or fire-retardant cedar lasts longer.

• Manufacturer: Always request the actual warranty document.

At Roof Nuts, we also provide:

• A workmanship (labor) warranty for your peace of mind.

• Maintenance plans to keep your roof protected year-round.

🔎 Important: Poor installation can void your material warranty. That’s why choosing a certified, local roofing contractor like Roof Nuts matters.
