[quote=Anonymous] Sorry- dictated to little phone.

No low slope roofing manufacturer is going to come out and inspect your application.  The material the OP has a quote for is manufactured by  Firestone,  Firestone will not send out a rep to a residential structure under 20,000 ft.².

The warranty ratings that the OP has received are merely suggestions based on following the manufacturers guidelines.

Commercial roofing manufacturers have something called NDL warranties;  it stands for no-dollar-limit.  In the event of a failure that was not due to applicator error the manufacturer will pay all costs associated with repair and any  subsequent damages below.

Here's how it works: Once the project is completed the installing contractor asks for the manufacturer to inspect the project and issue the warranty, if at inspection the manufacturer notices any deficiencies they will then have the contractor make repairs to bring the roof up to standards. 
Once all inspections are passed the manufacturer will  "buy" the project and take on most of the liability. 
 This is not something that they will do for a little row house.

In the unlikely event that your roof developed a leak because of a manufacturing defect the best you can ever hope to get would be a few rolls of free material.

By the way, that material is torch applied – make sure you get a copy of their liability insurance. [/quote]
