As I understand it, if you are a second owner, you only have 2 years after buying the house to file a claim. So, if you buy a 6-year old house, you must file the claim by the 8th year. I would suggest confirming that with CertainTeed.
Update: Today, I called CertainTeed to get an explanation of their algae stain warranty. The algae stain warranty extends for a period of 10 years from the date of construction, for the original owner and for the second owner. So, either owner can file a claim for the house as long as the house is less than 10 years old. During that period, CertainTeed will clean the roof for free. However, a third owner or any subsequent owners have no algae stain warranty.
