When your home needs a new roof, turn to a GAF-certified roofer to obtain the highest-quality installation and a longer warranty than otherwise available. In this blog, we’ll explore what makes a GAF-certified roofer different and why you should choose one to install your roof.
Earning GAF Certification
When a roofing contractor earns GAF’s certification, it shows that their business ranks in the top five percent of contractors in the U.S. Before a business can earn the certification by attending classes at the GAF CARE Roof Contractor Training Center, it must provide proof of its insurance and licensing. Each business that applies to the program must carry workers’ compensation insurance and a business liability policy valued at $1 million. GAF also considers an applicant’s Better Business Bureau rating, years of roofing experience, and credit rating before accepting the applicant.
The company’s stringent application requirements ensure that only the highest-quality roofing contractors in the U.S. attend the school and earn the right to use the GAF branding and the terms “GAF certified” and/or “Master Elite Contractor” on their website and other marketing materials.
How Does GAF Certification Benefit Roofing Customers?
After a contractor completes GAF’s program, their certification earns their customers enhanced warranties on all GAF products. The initial certification level means customers receive the System Plus Limited Warranty, which guarantees the products against manufacturer defects for up to 50 years from the date of installation. A roofing contractor who earns Master Elite status provides their customers with a warranty that lengthens coverage and covers tear-off. It also includes an installation warranty of up to 30 years.
Choosing Your GAF Roofer
Your home’s roof represents one of your most important investments because it protects the rest of your home. Your roof may have aged, incurred damage, or been improperly installed, requiring a replacement roof. Make that investment wisely by choosing the best quality products – GAF – and hiring a GAF-certified contractor.
