The Bold North Difference
Most roofing warranties are written with terms that sound generous until something goes wrong — at which point the manufacturer points to installation defects to deny coverage, and the contractor is unreachable or out of business. Understanding what your warranty actually covers, what voids it, and what certification means for your claim eligibility is something most contractors never explain. We do.
IKO's Dynasty shingle carries a lifetime limited warranty against manufacturing defects. To be eligible for the full warranty — including extended coverage available exclusively through ROOFPRO certified contractors — the shingles must be installed to IKO's specifications by a certified installer. This means correct nail placement in the ArmourZone nailing strip, proper sealant activation, appropriate starter shingle installation, and correct ventilation meeting IKO's requirements. Shortcut any of these steps and the warranty applies in name but not in practice.
Bold North Exteriors is IKO ROOFPRO certified. That credential requires training, installation standard adherence, and ongoing accountability to IKO's quality program. After every installation, we provide warranty registration documentation so your coverage is on record with the manufacturer. If a warranty issue ever arises, your claim is supported by a certified installation record — not a question mark about whether the contractor who did the work met IKO's requirements.

What Voids a Roofing Warranty
Improper installation — including incorrect nail placement, inadequate ventilation, and incorrect product layering — is the most common reason warranty claims are denied. This is why certified installation matters, not just material quality.

It was fantastic working with Jon and Bold North Exteriors. We had just a small job for him to do and he took the time to find the exact color match and made sure it was perfect. Communication was great and would highly recommend him anytime. Whenever we need roofing done in the future, Jon is the guy we will call.
Jen Wood
They did a good job with installing two new exterior doors. Good communication, on schedule, cleaned up properly afterward.
Dawn Packard
Jon from Bold North Exteriors delivered on a tricky project for us and was top notch! I would not hesitate to use him for future needs or to recommend him to anyone.

Common Questions
Warranty & Workmanship FAQ
What does the IKO Dynasty lifetime warranty cover?
The lifetime limited warranty covers manufacturing defects in IKO Dynasty shingles for the lifetime of the original owner. This includes color and granule defects, cracking and breaking under normal conditions, and algae-related black streaking. Wind damage up to 130 mph is covered when shingles are installed per IKO's specifications. The warranty does not cover hail damage — impact resistance ratings are for insurance discount purposes, not warranty coverage.
What is required for the warranty to be valid?
Installation by an IKO ROOFPRO certified contractor following IKO's installation specifications — including correct nail placement in the ArmourZone nailing strip, proper ventilation meeting IKO's requirements, and correct underlayment and starter shingle installation. Shortcuts on any of these steps can void warranty coverage even if the materials themselves are genuine IKO products.
What additional coverage is available through ROOFPRO certification?
IKO offers enhanced warranty coverage exclusively through ROOFPRO certified contractors — including extended wind coverage and longer workmanship protection periods. We register every installation for the maximum available coverage and provide documentation to the homeowner.
How do I make a warranty claim if needed?
Contact Bold North Exteriors first. We'll assess whether the issue is a workmanship matter we address directly or a manufacturing defect to be handled through IKO's warranty process. Having a certified installation on record with IKO significantly streamlines any manufacturer warranty claim.
