FAQs On Being A GAF Master Elite Certified Roofing Company

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about being a GAF Master Elite Certified company:

  • What does it take to become a roofer to start with?- Here in Florida, and many other states, there actually aren’t many requirements to become a roofer. This means that basically anybody who has a hammer and a nail gun can install your roof. While there are building codes stipulating how roofs should be installed, the reality is that when (and if) the building inspector comes to take a peek, there isn’t really any way to verify the proper code has been met since the roof is already on. Now that you know this, it’s no wonder that roofing complaints make up 70% of all Better Business Bureau complaints.
  • How can I protect my home and investment?- Luckily, a few shingle manufacturers have come up with a certification program allowing contractors to offer superior warranties and thus better protection than your everyday roofer/handyman/dude with a nail gun. While these programs are great, there are still some holes. Standard certification programs for major manufacturer only necessitate three of their system components to be used to get an upgraded warranty, which is a step up from the standard but still doesn’t cover components from other manufacturers and can leave you with a nasty bill if you require warranty coverage.

  • How does GAF Master Elite Contractor Protect my investment?- A Master Elite contractor is the only kind of roofer that offers the golden pledge warranty. A golden pledge warranty is the only warranty that requires the entire roof system to be from GAF, a single manufacturer. After your new roof is installed, GAF will send a representative to certify your roof installation. This guarantees the quality of the workmanship and materials!
  • What makes a Master Elite contractor different from a certified contractor or standard roofer? Master Elite contractors are the top 3% of total roofers in the U.S. They have to comply with the following certifications:
    • minimum 7 years in the business plus 1 year in their certified program
    • 99% customer satisfaction based on independent surveys from GAF
    • 1 million general liability coverage + proper and valid workers compensation
    • satisfactory rating with BBB
    • GOOD or better credit rating
    • clean banking record (no overdrafts, negative info)
    • clean distributor reference (means we pay our bills)
    • no liens, or judgements unresolved on record
    • good workmanship record
