Service Guard helps roofing businesses increase close rates, reduce risk, and improve financial outcomes by transforming workmanship liability into a strategic advantage over your competitors.
Every roof you install comes backed by a regulated insurance carrier, providing the kind of credibility and assurance that differentiates your business and drives higher close rates.
Service Guard works directly with insurance carriers who prioritize qualified, data-verified roofing contractors. Your workmanship record becomes a measurable credential that positions you ahead of competitors when carriers are selecting roofing partners.
Service Guard was built on aligned incentives. When your workmanship performs and claims stay low, you earn back a share of the profits. Your quality generates income and protects your business.
Asphalt, slate, tile, and metal shingles. Our program covers the most common residential roofing systems and materials.
Warranties are transferable during the warranty period. Transferrable coverage adds real value for your customers and differentiates your roofing bids.
When a claim is filed, you are notified immediately and handle the resolution directly with your customer. Protecting your reputation is one of our top priorities.

When homeowners compare bids, trust is the deciding factor. An insurance-backed warranty signals that your workmanship meets the standards of a regulated insurance carrier, giving customers the confidence to choose you before you ever pick up a tool.
Every roofing contractor knows the cost of a callback — truck rolls, materials, labor, and the hit to your reputation. When a workmanship issue surfaces two or three years down the road, it comes straight out of your pocket.
With a Service Guard warranty, an admitted insurance carrier pays covered claims — not you. You transfer long-tail workmanship liability off your balance sheet, eliminating open-ended warranty exposure that can erode retained earnings or complicate a future sale of your business.
For most homeowners, a new roof is one of the biggest and most emotional home investments they'll ever make. They're comparing bids, reading reviews, and looking for reassurance that their money is well spent.
When you hand them an insurance-backed warranty, the conversation changes. It's no longer just your word, it's a legally binding commitment backed by a regulated carrier. That level of confidence accelerates decisions and sets you apart as the preferred contractor of choice.
