When it comes to quoting metal roofing projects — especially large or complicated ones — confidence matters. Contractors need assurance that the work will go smoothly, install challenges won’t derail the job, and the finished roof system won’t come back with leaks or callbacks. That’s exactly why Indiana Metal created its Weathertight Warranty Program — to help contractors quote with confidence and win more bids, without worrying about the labor side of the job.
What Is the Weathertight Warranty Program?
The Indiana Metal Weathertight Warranty is more than just a piece of paper — it’s a performance guarantee for your customer backed by experienced installers and Indiana Metal oversight. When a project is installed by an Indiana Metal Certified Subcrew, a standard 5-year Weathertight Warranty is included at no extra charge.
This warranty is issued upon successful completion of the installation and is subject to required documentation and program paperwork being completed by the contractor. Proper job registration, install request forms, and any required project information must be submitted to ensure warranty eligibility and issuance.
This process allows Indiana Metal to verify installation standards, provide field oversight, and confidently stand behind the finished system — giving both contractors and building owners peace of mind.
Certified Subcrew — Your Labor Partner
One of the biggest hurdles on larger projects is finding reliable, experienced labor to install metal roofing and siding. Indiana Metal addresses this head-on with its Certified Subcrew Network.
-
These subcrews are vetted and certified to install metal roofing to Indiana Metal’s standards.
-
They undertake the labor on behalf of the contractor, so installation quality is controlled and consistent.
-
Because these crews are certified, your customer gets a genuine weathertight warranty backed by both installer workmanship and manufacturer support — a powerful differentiator when you’re competing for bids.
This program isn’t just about materials — it standardizes installation excellence so you’re not guessing whether the crew knows the right techniques or details.
Field Oversight You Can Rely On — Including Bilingual Support
What sets Indiana Metal’s approach apart is hands-on field oversight throughout the installation. An Indiana Metal Field Manager is assigned to each weathertight project to observe progress, document workmanship, and ensure compliance with warranty standards — all the way from start to finish.
This position isn’t just an inspector — they’re a contractor support resource, helping prevent issues before they become problems and issuing the final warranty upon completion. What’s more, Indiana Metal’s Field Manager is bilingual in Spanish, supporting crews and communication across diverse teams to keep the job on track and understood by everyone on site.
Measurement and Job Size Details
Not every job is the same, and not every job requires the same level of prep. For projects that need hand measuring, Indiana Metal does offer measurement services, but please note:
-
A measurement fee applies if the job requires hand measuring.
-
This fee is waived if you choose to provide a cut list instead.
This ensures accuracy on complex builds while giving contractors flexibility on how they want to handle layout and takeoffs.
There is also a minimum square footage requirement for installation under this program. Contact Indiana Metal for details on minimums and how they apply to your project’s scope.
Why This Program Helps You Close More Jobs
The real value of the Weathertight Warranty Program isn’t just the warranty — it’s what it signals to your customer:
-
Professional assurance: They know the roof will stay watertight because qualified crews and field oversight are involved.
-
Backed by manufacturer support: Indiana Metal stands behind materials and installation standards.
-
Reduced risk: Less guesswork, fewer callbacks, and fewer surprises.
For contractors quoting large, multi-phase, or architecturally unique jobs, this confidence can make the difference between winning the bid or losing it to someone else.
