TurnKey Roofing Team’s 15-year Unlimited Wind Warranty covers wind damage to qualifying roofs, including damage from named storms, with no wind speed cap on coverage during the warranty period. It works alongside, not instead of, your homeowners insurance policy and manufacturer material warranty.
“Unlimited” refers to wind speed, meaning the warranty does not cap coverage at a specific mph threshold the way some standard wind warranties do. Many manufacturer wind warranties only apply up to a stated wind speed, leaving a gap in coverage during the strongest storms. TurnKey’s warranty is built to close that gap for qualifying installations.
This matters most along the Gulf Coast, where wind speeds during a named storm regularly exceed the caps built into standard warranty language. A warranty with a wind speed limit can leave a homeowner without coverage during the exact event it was meant to protect against.
Homeowners often discover a wind speed cap only after filing a claim, which is one of the most frustrating outcomes a roof warranty can produce. Asking about wind speed limits before signing a contract, not after a storm, is the only way to know for certain what protection you actually have.
Yes, the warranty is designed to cover wind-related damage from named storms tracked by the National Hurricane Center, as long as the roof was installed by TurnKey Roofing Team and meets the warranty’s installation requirements. That includes hurricanes and tropical storms that make landfall or pass close enough to generate damaging wind.
Coverage applies to the roofing system installed under the warranty terms, not to pre-existing damage or issues unrelated to wind, such as normal wear, foot traffic damage, or improper maintenance. A post-storm inspection helps confirm whether reported damage falls under wind warranty terms.
Wind and hail frequently arrive together during the same weather system, and it is common for a roof to sustain both types of damage in one event. A thorough inspection separates wind-caused lifting or tearing from hail-caused bruising or granule loss, since each may fall under a different part of your coverage.
A manufacturer material warranty typically covers defects in the shingles or membrane themselves, while the wind warranty specifically addresses damage caused by wind uplift during a storm event. These are separate protections that can both apply to the same roof.
Homeowners sometimes assume one warranty covers everything. Reading the specific terms for each, or asking your contractor directly, prevents confusion when it is time to file a claim after a storm.
Keeping all three warranty documents together, along with your original installation contract, makes claim filing faster when the time comes. Some homeowners store digital copies in a shared family cloud folder so the paperwork survives even if a physical copy is lost during a storm.
TurnKey backs qualifying residential roof replacements with the wind warranty alongside a 50-year non-prorated material warranty and 10-year workmanship warranty. Full terms are outlined on our Unlimited Wind Warranty page.
Document the damage with photos and video as soon as it is safe to do so, then contact TurnKey Roofing Team for an inspection before filing a claim under either the warranty or your homeowners insurance. A prompt inspection helps establish that the damage occurred during a covered wind event.
Keep records of the storm date and any local reporting confirming named storm status in your area. This documentation supports both a warranty claim and, if applicable, a separate insurance claim for damage beyond what the warranty covers.
Photograph the damage from multiple angles before any temporary repairs begin, and keep those images even after the warranty claim is filed. If a dispute arises later over the extent or cause of the damage, having your own dated photo record alongside the contractor’s inspection report strengthens your position.
If a section of your roof is compromised and needs immediate protection, our team responds quickly given TurnKey’s 24-hour roof replacement guarantee for qualifying emergency situations.
Homeowners who have a full roof system installed by TurnKey Roofing Team, meeting the installation and material requirements outlined in the warranty terms, qualify for the 15-year Unlimited Wind Warranty on that installation. Partial repairs or roofs installed by other contractors do not carry this coverage.
Because coverage terms depend on installation details, homeowners should keep their warranty paperwork and installation records in a safe place. If you are unsure whether a past project qualifies, a call to our office can confirm your specific warranty status.
If you purchased a home with an existing roof installed by TurnKey, ask the previous owner whether they registered the wind warranty and kept the original paperwork. Some warranty terms transfer to a new owner with proper notification, so tracking down that documentation early is worth the effort.
Preparing your home ahead of storm season also matters. Reviewing steps for how to prepare your roof for hurricane season can reduce the chance of damage in the first place, even with strong warranty coverage in place.
Standard wind warranties from many manufacturers cap coverage at a set wind speed, often well below hurricane-force winds, while TurnKey’s warranty removes that cap for qualifying named storm damage. This is one of the clearest differences homeowners should understand before choosing a roofing contractor in a hurricane-prone region.
Ask any contractor you are comparing whether their wind warranty has a speed cap and what documentation they require after a storm. Those two questions reveal how much protection you are actually getting once a real storm arrives.
A wind warranty is only as useful as the company standing behind it. Ask how long the contractor has been in business locally and whether they have handled a large volume of storm claims in past hurricane seasons, since that track record says more than the warranty document alone.
Get warranty terms in writing before signing a contract, not verbally during a sales visit. A written copy protects both sides and gives you something concrete to reference if a coverage question comes up years down the road.
No. The wind warranty covers specific installation-related wind damage from TurnKey Roofing Team, while homeowners insurance covers broader property damage. Many homeowners rely on both together after a named storm.
No, they are separate. The 15-year Unlimited Wind Warranty covers wind damage specifically, while the 50-year non-prorated warranty covers the roofing material itself over a much longer period.
A named storm is a tropical system that has been assigned a name by the National Hurricane Center, typically once it reaches tropical storm strength or higher, including hurricanes affecting the Gulf Coast.
Filing promptly is strongly recommended. Delayed reporting can make it harder to confirm the damage resulted from the storm event, and prompt inspection also limits secondary damage like leaks.
Warranty transfer terms vary by policy. Contact TurnKey Roofing Team directly to confirm whether your specific wind warranty can transfer to a new homeowner and what steps that process requires.
