Does a home warranty typically cover roof leaks?

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Yes. Some home warranties do cover roof leaks. The home warranty that I recommend does offer limited "Roof Repair Coverage". It is limited and includes rolled roofing, asphalt singles, and flashing leaks. It does not include entire roof replacement. I recommend researching home warranties for comparison purposes. However, I don't believe there is a warranty out there that will cover a total replacement.

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: It should. At Royalty Home Solutions it does.

Answer: In some cases
Explanation: Most home warranties cover roof leaks in specific circumstances. If the roof is reaching the end of its useful life, the home warranty company may claim the leak is a result of the roof needing to be replaced. I offer a 5 Year Platinum Roof Warranty which covers the roof provided it was water tight at the time I performed the inspection.

Answer: In some cases
