Thank you for your response @Matthew Terry

As far as our costs go, they are pretty on par with what is quoted on costvsvalue.com (a very good resource for home improvement projects), even with going above and beyond on the project comparatively. It is hard to give a price since every roof and window project is different, so no two houses will have the same price.

Then with the warranty, all of our warranties are held by the manufacture. GAF is the roofing manufacturer that we use. They have the Golden Pledge warranty, and that is exactly what is given with our installs. With windows, we have our own exclusive warranty through Alside that they hold. We did that on purpose, because if something does happen to our company, we wanted the warranties to stay true. 

If the manufacturer goes out of business, no warranty in the world would hold up for any product. GAF has been around since about 1886 and Alside since about 1947, two long standing companies. Not saying they couldn't go out of business, it would just take a lot for them to haha.

Thank you for the response, I am just trying to learn what I can, especially if I am able to help someone in the long run.

I work for a contractor that focuses on roof and window/ door replacement. I just wanted to get some input from experienced investors that hold properties for long term investments. 

On both our product we offer a 50 year, 1 exclusion (an act of God) warranty held by the manufacturer. Meaning, if anything goes wrong, we will replace it for free including all parts and labor for the full 50 years. With that, if you go and purposely damage the integrity of the roof or window frame, it will not be covered. On roofs this includes losing just one shingle or get a leak within the 50 years, and you will get a full roof replacement. With the windows if the argon gas leaks out, accidental glass breakage (the two biggest exclusions on warranties) are both covered for the full 50 years. Both warranties are transferable to the next owner if sold within the 50 years.

I have looked into getting into real estate investing before, but never pulled the trigger. When I got to thinking about the value of these products and the warranty, I thought it would be a very smart investment. Never having to worry about a roof or windows/doors again.

The roof and windows are built to last well over 50 years, and that is why we put that kind of warranty on our products, so it is a premium product, but it comes at a pretty average investment when you compare it to costvsvalue.com

So the main question, would it be of value for an investor to buy a guaranteed 50 year roof and/or windows? Or would you rather just buy the cheap windows that you can find at Home Depot or any other big box store??

Hey everyone!
