Every roofing company has something on the truck. A logo, a certification badge, a phrase like factory certified. Most homeowners see those and reasonably assume somebody checked. Sometimes somebody did. Sometimes the badge means a salesperson attended a webinar.

The difference matters more than it sounds, because the strongest roof warranties in the business are not available to every contractor. They are tied to credentials that take years to earn and can be taken away. This series covers what those credentials require, what they actually change about the coverage on your roof, and how to verify any contractor's claims yourself in about two minutes.
