Sounds like a pretty stable company insofar as they've been in business for 85 years, has 17,000 employees and $6.4 BILLION in sales.
You are an idiot. A lifetime warranty means the shingles are under warranty for the life expectancy that the company determines, we arent talking about the company being around in the future to warranty themThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-11-17 at 8:06 PM UTCIf the company goes belly up, so too does your warranty.
Not going to happen in this case, genius. -

Originally posted by stl1 He said the warranty is defined by the company. I interpret that to mean "the warranty is only as good as the company behind it." Obviously, the company can be expected to honor their warranty just like they have for the last 85 years.
If you have a differing explanation, please…share it with the class. -

And if you’re interested in more than just a standard shingle warranty, you may be eligible for one of our system warranties depending on the products you install and the contractor you select to do the job."
The roof has a lifetime warranty to Tech, the original purchaser as long as she owns the home. -

Not necessarily true. If the company that manufactured them goes under then youve got a problem. If a 3rd party who sold you the shingles goes under thats a completely different scenario -

Now you are making yourself look retarded. There is a huge difference between manufacturing defects and wear. You need to reference what i said earlier about what a lifetime warranty means -

2020-11-17 at 8:25 PM UTCI prefer the finer things but can go without. so uhhh, everything and nothing.

I don’t buy warranties, EVER. My hubby likes to, but I won’t do it. It’s like the company saying “our product is shitty, so you need this warranty”. The lifetime transferable warranty came with the product.
Oh, and BTW, this isn’t my first big purchase. I know these warranties are limited. -

Then explain it to STL who seems to have completely misunderstood the entire foundation of the original comment. -

2020-11-17 at 10:09 PM UTCI buy cheap tools, because I don't do anything super serious with them. I use a cheap hydraulic press, and a cheap drill press. Cheap miter saw, cheap dremel, cheap hammers, cheap hand held drills. Cheap socket wrenches, etc.
I will not buy a cheap cleaning rod unless its for a pistol, I only use dewey rods. Though to be honest I saw in Russia they make knockoffs that have all the same features for much cheaper, so maybe look for a cheaper one, but the ones I bought 10 years ago still work fine.
No cheap computer parts. No cheap projectors/mounts/bulbs.
Only original car parts for the cars I care about, autozone parts OK for cars I don't care too much about.
Only tested quality gun parts for guns I care about, cheaper end stuff OK for shit that I just play around with. No tapco/promag stuff here, only quality mags.
NO CHEAP MECHANICAL PENCILS. I only use ones made out of sterling silver. Yes.
I don't usually buy furniture, I get it for free. Most of it is very nice though, even if it has some minor dings. I see many houses of people, I see their Ikea furniture, and I have the pleasure of moving it around; Fuck Ikea, I won't be buying any ever.
Cheap liquor is OK unless I want cognac.
Cheap watches are OK if they have all the features I need. I don't need a 5k Rolex if I can get by with a swiss automatic with whatever complications I need for only 1k. -

There are some things I’ll buy as cheap as possible, and suffer the quality, but there’s some things I have to have quality, going cheap is just not worth it.
I bought expensive furniture years ago. I had the furniture made custom. That shit lasted me over 20 yrs, and is still in use in my basement. This last time I bought a cheapo couch, and I regret it. The cushions wore out in 2 years. I’m going to end up spending more to replace my couch every few years.
When do you let quality go?
do you ever regret marrying a ferral nigger tho ?
the only bipeds that are even lower in quality are probably rohingyas and negritoes. -

Its more convenient to have a watch on the wrist, which is the case almost always. I can tell the time while swimming or in the shower.
There are many times when my wrist is more accessible than my phone. -

any time ive used owens corning i completely disliked them. some of them have a funky 'nail strip' made out of some sort of nylon that is supposed to reinforce the nails. from what ive seen its more marketing propaganda than anything else.
the expensive version of 'certainteed' are the sturdiest, 'best' ive come across

abbos are essentially full sized negritoes thanks to protein rich diet.

on the opposite end is milwaukee tools. when i first started buying milwaukee from the mid-90s until about 2010 or so they were the best, most reliable, most functional power tools. after 2010 they were shit and full on walmart-tier 'quality'
another example of the opposite end is a 'lee universal decapping die' that i bought in the early 90s for about $4 that ive used to deprime literally thousands of rounds. fast forward to last year when i bought an, allegedly, top-of-the-line sinclair stainless steel decapping die that was about $40 that i literally wasnt able to get more than about 300 assorted rifle rounds deprimed after it broke or bent all four of the included pins. the best part was everyone was out of the pins to replace them. piece of shit.
im the same way about gun parts. i bought almost every available AR bolt-catch and tested them out before i finally settled on the CMMG one as being the 'best'…then bought a whole pile of them.
i dont buy cheap furniture. not the 'fake leather' shit that flakes off or the particleboard shit that disintegrates with moisture…i only get real leather or decent plywood…or solid wood if i can find it -
