It also means you have the ability to protect this important asset with unsurpassed warranty coverage.

The Elevate Red Shield™ Warranty stands alone among the competition. Among the many benefits of the Red Shield Warranty are material and labor coverage with comprehensive, no-dollar limit liability; “edge-to-edge” system coverage including membrane, insulation and metal; and, coverage that is transferable from owner-to-owner. Depending on the commercial roofing system, terms of the warranty can range from five years to a Platinum 30-year warranty.
