Only a select few roofing contractors in North America, less than 2%, are eligible to proudly wear the prestigious GAF Master Elite® badge*.

Being recognized as a GAF Master Elite® Contractor allows us to provide the industry’s finest warranty – the GAF Golden Pledge®. This exceptional warranty significantly extends the coverage period against manufacturing defects from 10 years to an impressive 50 years, including tear-off and disposal costs. Moreover, the GAF Golden Pledge® Warranty is transferable to new homeowners if the house is sold, providing between 20 and 30 years of coverage, depending on the selected shingles. It also safeguards against errors in the application of GAF Shingles & Accessories and Covered Flashings that might have occurred during the original installation of your roof.
