Imagine this: A powerful summer storm just tore through your Columbus neighborhood. Shingles flew, branches fell, and water found its way into the attic. Now, as the dust settles, you’re facing what every homeowner dreads—the roof insurance claim. But there’s good news. A new update from Van Martin Roofing just changed the game for good. Starting now, Columbus homeowners covered by Van Martin’s VanGuard Lifetime Warranty can finally say goodbye to insurance depreciation headaches—and hello to true peace of mind.
The VanGuard Lifetime Warranty: A Columbus Roofing Breakthrough
For years, insurance policies have had one frustrating clause homeowners couldn’t avoid: depreciation. It meant your roof’s value dropped every year, and so did your coverage—even if the damage was sudden or storm-related. Van Martin Roofing’s new VanGuard Lifetime Warranty is designed to level the playing field.
How It Works: Lifetime Coverage with No Depreciation Catch
This is more than just a warranty. It’s a promise: For the full life of your roof, Van Martin will cover all labor and materials—even if your insurer won’t. That means when damage happens, you aren’t left to foot the bill for the “wear and tear” deductions your policy may try to enforce.
-
Covers both workmanship and materials for your roof’s entire life.
-
Neutralizes insurer depreciation clauses that typically reduce your payout.
-
Backed by certified Select ShingleMaster installers and a 4.9-star local reputation.
Why This Matters to Columbus Homeowners
Storms are becoming more frequent and more destructive across Ohio. From high winds to hail, extreme weather has made roof repair in Columbus a routine conversation—and often an unexpected cost. Homeowners looking for lasting solutions, not just quick fixes, now have a powerful tool in their corner with the VanGuard Warranty.
Who Benefits Most?
This lifetime warranty is a game-changer for:
-
Homeowners in Columbus suburbs prioritizing long-term value.
-
Those planning to stay in their homes for 10+ years.
-
Buyers seeking peace-of-mind during property purchases and sales.
Real Protection vs. Empty Promises: The Van Martin Difference
While many roofing contractors advertise “warranties,” not all are created equal. Most cover defects in shingles or poor labor for 10-15 years at most—and very few stand behind the full life of your roof. Even fewer will advocate on your behalf when your insurance company shortchanges your storm damage claim.
Built on Trust, Proven by Results
Van Martin Roofing isn’t just handing out fancy guarantees—they’re backing it up with:
-
Over 1,100 5-star Google reviews and an A+ BBB rating.
-
24/7 emergency storm response crews equipped with drone imaging and thermal cameras.
-
A team that personally assists with insurance documentation to make sure your claim doesn’t get denied or reduced unfairly.
Putting It to the Test: A Columbus Storm Story
Let’s walk through a real scenario. This past spring, high winds swept through Grove City, damaging dozens of roofs. One Van Martin customer had their shingles shredded just 8 years into a 30-year roof. Their insurance adjuster estimated repair costs at $11,000—but only offered $6,500 after applying depreciation. That’s a $4,500 gap. Normally, it would fall on the homeowner. But because of the VanGuard Lifetime Warranty, Van Martin covered the rest—no questions asked.
Storm-Resistant—and Wallet-Proof
In a world of unpredictable weather, the real value of a roof isn’t just how well it holds up during the storm—it’s how protected you are after it. With Van Martin’s commitment, your roof isn’t just covered. You’re covered.
-
Drone inspections catch hidden hail damage early.
-
Digital documentation supports insurance claims more accurately.
-
Warranty applies no matter how many years you’ve had your roof.
Is Your Roof Covered? Here’s How to Check
If you’ve recently worked with Van Martin Roofing—or are planning to schedule a replacement—you may already be eligible for the VanGuard Lifetime Warranty. It applies to all residential roof replacements installed after January 2024 in the Columbus region. If your current contractor hasn’t discussed what happens after installation, it might be time for a second opinion.
Steps to Confirm Coverage
