I'm looking at a new roof for a townhouse (duplex) of which I own both units. The roofing material literature given to me by the roofing company has a lifetime warranty and the fine print reads that it is for a single family residence and one owner.
My unit is a townhouse - two family residence. It looks like the material warranty would not apply to my roofing job because it is not a SFR and their are two families.
it's not worth worrying about. If you have a problem it will be most likely be associated with the installation, not the product. Choose a good high quality shingle but more importantly choose a good reputable roofer with a good workmanship warranty. If you read the warranty in detail most things are prorated after the first few years anyway
