PROTECT YOUR COVERAGE
What Voids a Roof Warranty?
A comprehensive manufacturer's roof warranty can provide protection and peace of mind, but poor workmanship, unauthorized changes, or damaging maintenance practices can limit or void that coverage.
Installing New Shingles Over the Old Ones
Installing new shingles over an existing roof, sometimes called reroofing, can void a roof warranty. Although the method may be faster and cheaper, it can conceal problems and significantly affect the roof's lifespan.
Antenna or Satellite Dish Installation
Poor antenna or satellite dish installation can affect a roofing warranty. Drilling through the roof without the right waterproofing details can make the system vulnerable to leaks.
Solar Panel Installation
Solar panels can provide several benefits, but installation may affect roof coverage. Ask both your roofer and solar installer how penetrations, removal, and workmanship are handled under their warranties.
Inadequate Roof Ventilation
Poor or inadequate attic ventilation can contribute to moisture and heat problems in both metal and asphalt roofing systems. Manufacturers or contractors may limit coverage when ventilation does not meet requirements.
Skylight Installation
Adding a skylight or another roof penetration changes the roofing system. Poor installation can affect roof lifespan and warranty coverage, so the work should be coordinated with a qualified roofer.
Use of Unauthorized Accessories on the Roof
Accessories or materials that are not authorized for the roofing system can void coverage. Your roofer should explain which products and installation methods are permitted.
Use of Pressure Washing
Pressure washing may damage shingles while removing debris. If the cleaning method damages the roof, the resulting condition may not be covered by the warranty.
Using Third-Party Components
Using third-party roofing components that are not certified or validated by the manufacturer can affect system coverage and may void the warranty.
Ponding or Standing Water
Depending on the warranty, damage caused by ponding or standing water may not be covered. Drainage conditions should be corrected before they create a larger roofing problem.
High Winds
Warranty terms vary, and some warranties do not cover storm damage caused by high winds. Review the written coverage and exclusions before choosing a system.

GAF WARRANTY GUIDANCE
Roof Warranty FAQ
Clear answers help you compare manufacturer coverage, workmanship protection, and the contractor qualifications behind a GAF roof.
Why are roof warranties so important?
A new roof is a major investment that may protect your home for decades. Knowing in advance what the warranty covers can help you avoid unexpected costs if a material or installation problem occurs.
What should I look for in a roofing warranty?
Ask about two types of protection: coverage against material defects and coverage against workmanship errors. Make sure the details, limitations, and required maintenance are provided in writing.
What does a materials warranty cover?
Most roofing products include coverage against material defects, but the term and scope vary by brand and component. Choose a financially strong manufacturer that is likely to support its coverage for as long as you own the roof.
What is the GAF Weather Stopper System Plus Ltd. Warranty?
The GAF Weather Stopper System Plus Ltd. Warranty can provide coverage against material defects for qualifying major GAF components—not only the shingles. It is available through GAF certified contractors and may provide up to 50 years of non-prorated material-defect coverage, subject to the written warranty terms and restrictions.
What are the chances I will have a problem with my new GAF roof?
Serious material problems are uncommon, but a major issue can be expensive to correct. That is why homeowners should compare the cost and scope of warranty protection even when the likelihood of a claim is low.
What is GAF's SmartChoice Protection Period?
GAF warranties may include a SmartChoice Protection Period for critical early years of the roof. During this period, qualifying material defects on covered components may include replacement materials and reasonable labor, subject to the specific written warranty.
What if there are problems with the roof's installation?
Many roofing problems are connected to workmanship rather than the material itself. Choosing a factory-certified GAF Master Elite contractor helps homeowners work with a roofer that has met manufacturer requirements for training, licensing, insurance, and reputation.
Does Affordable Roofing cover me against workmanship errors?
Affordable Roofing Systems participates in GAF warranty programs that can include workmanship coverage for qualifying installations. The exact term, eligibility, inspection requirements, exclusions, and cost should be confirmed in the written warranty proposal for your roof.
