Even a small roof leak can imperil your entire home. Roof damage can get out of hand quickly, making it important to repair problems as soon they appear.
The specialized nature of roof repair means it can be rather costly, but you don’t need to strain your budget to keep dry in your own home. Liberty Home Guard can deliver an affordable home warranty with roof coverage to help you repair a roof leak with speed and efficiency.
The average home roof has several layers. We see the external shingles, but beneath those are sheets underlayment or roofing membrane. The underlayment sits upon a layer of wood, and beneath that are the rafters, insulation, and sheetrock or drywall.
These different layers of protection serve different purposes, but they all work together to keep the elements from making their way into your house.
Over time, roofing materials deteriorate due to fluctuating temperatures, moisture, ice, sun, wind, insects, and more. When water finds it way past the shingles, it can seep into a tear or seam in the underlayment. It can leak through hardware mountings for rooftop equipment, such as HVAC units or ventilation pipes. It can also drip through gaps where caulking or sealant has dried and cracked.
Once water is beyond the underlayment, it can easily seep through plywood, insulation, and drywall. Those materials are not meant to be waterproof.
There's a reason Liberty Home Guard was rated the #1 Home Warranty

It’s not a good idea to manage a roof leak with an amateur solution. Once a small leak starts, it can further deteriorate your home’s roofing materials and get larger in time. In exceptionally bad cases, it can comprise the integrity of your roof.
Moisture within your walls and ceilings can also facilitate mold growth. Some forms of mold can cause a range of severe health complications. Mold removal is also much more costly than minor roof repair, and it’s much less likely to be covered by a home warranty or homeowner’s insurance policy.
The bottom line: Do not put off repairing a roof leak, no matter how minor.
Will a home warranty cover roof leak patching? Not all home warranties provide such coverage, but Liberty Home Guard does. You can add roof leak protection to your policy to ensure necessary roof patching is attended to when necessary. Let’s take a closer look at how the process works.
Once your policy is active, you can submit a claim to request service as soon as you notice a leak in your roof. We maintain a network of licensed, bonded, and insured technicians across the United States, so we’ll take care of finding a qualified professional to repair your roof.
It’s as simple as that. Your roof is patched, and you’ve avoided paying for roof repair out of pocket. And those savings can be substantial. The average cost of roof repair is just shy of $1,000. Depending on the size and location of the leak, that cost can be much higher.
Home warranty roof coverage with Liberty Home Guard is affordable, transparent, and convenient. It’s hard to overstate the peace of mind you’ll experience in knowing that the roof over your head can be secured at the earliest sign of a leak.
Of course, we can cover more than just your roof. Kitchen appliances, major home systems, electronics, maintenance services—Liberty Home Guard covers it all and more. Call (866)-225-7958 to get started on the right plan for you.

View All PostsA home warranty is a service contract that covers the cost of repairs and replacements for your home’s systems and appliances when they break down over time from normal wear and tear.
It’s simple, you can select the coverage plan of your choice that is the best fit for your home and budget.
When you request service for a covered item, you will be charged a pre-set fee in order to initiate the service request.
With an LHG home warranty, when a covered item needs repair, simply follow these steps:
Liberty Home Guard offers 3 different plans depending on the coverage your home needs. The Total Home Guard is a combination of both our Appliance Guard and Systems Guard plan. It is our most comprehensive and most economical.
We offer add-ons to each plan. Check HERE for our Home Warranty Plans & Policies page to learn more about everything we cover.
A home warranty covers the costs of repairs and replacements of major home appliances and systems. Home systems, for example, include plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
Homeowners insurance provides coverage if theft or natural disaster hits.
The main difference is that a manufacturer’s warranty generally covers the failed part of a single appliance, but usually doesn’t include the cost of labor or repair. With a home warranty, one plan covers a variety of systems and appliances, making it a more cost-effective way to safeguard your home.
A home warranty protects the homeowner’s budget by removing the risk of fluctuating expenses when big ticket items break down. With a Liberty Home Guard home warranty, the homeowner will pay for a monthly plan, along with a flat rate service call fee associated with any repairs, rather than the full retail cost of replacing or repairing any of their home appliances or systems.
No. Liberty Home Guard doesn’t require a home inspection or any maintenance records to purchase a home warranty plan.
Liberty Home Guard will dispatch a licensed technician to your home within 24 - 48 (business) hours of your request. Extenuating circumstances do apply.

Yes, there are some limitations to what a home warranty plan can cover. Home warranties cover breakdowns that occur due to normal wear and tear. For example, if a fan in your AC unit breaks due to natural use, LHG would cover the replacement. However, if that AC was broken from human misuse or a natural event, it would not fall under our coverage.
No, it doesn’t. You can get an LHG warranty plan no matter the age of your appliances.
You can start requesting service after 30-60 days depending on the coverage you purchase. If you purchased your plan while buying your home, ask your agent about whether or not we start coverage on the day the escrow closes.
If, for any reason, you need to change your plan, you can do so within the first 30 days of purchasing your coverage. To make a switch call (833) 544-8273
