What is GAF Master Elite?

Your roof is one of the essential parts of your home. So it only makes sense that you work with a professional roofer to install and maintain it. And when it comes to hiring a roofer, a qualification that you need to look for is if they're a certified contractor. So what's the best certification that you'd want to see? The GAF Master Elite Certification.

GAF stands for General Aniline & Film. They are the leading manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing materials in North America. So if you have a roof over your head, there's a good chance it's built with GAF products.

The GAF Master Elite is a certification program that provides ongoing training and support to roofing contractors who use GAF materials. Working with a GAF Master Elite contractor means you get professional installation for your new roof, making it last longer.

Standards To Qualify For A GAF Master Elite Certification

Only 3% of the roofers in the country are qualified as GAF Master Elite contractors. And Affordable Roofing Systems is proud to say we are one of the roofers with this Master Elite status. But how exactly did we achieve this certification? Here are the standards that we needed to qualify for:

A+ BBB Rating

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is the country's most respected independent business review organization. If a roofing company gets an A+ rating from BBB, the business is trustworthy and transparent, protects the client's privacy, and embodies integrity.

Possess An Established License For The State of Florida

A Master Elite contractor must be fully licensed in the state where they operate. In Affordable Roofing Systems' case, we are a licensed Florida roofing contractor.

Be Current With Distributor Partners In Receivables

We shop for GAF's lifetime shingles and products only from legit distributors. In addition, we are up to date with all financial obligations, ensuring that there will be no supply disruptions during your project.

Have Been In Business For At Least 3 Years

Affordable Roofing Systems is a family business providing quality roofing services for over 25 years!

Consistently Show Ethical Contracting In Their Service Area

A Master Elite contractor must have an excellent reputation within their local community.

Affordable Roofing System provides residential and commercial roofing services in Tampa, Clearwater, and the surrounding areas.

Be Adequately Insured

Affordable Roofing Systems is fully and currently insured with a $1 million liability policy for the client's protection and peace of mind.

Show A Commitment To Ongoing Professional Training

Affordable Roofing Systems is committed to continuing professional training. This is to ensure that we provide our clients with the best possible service using updated and effective roofing installation and repair techniques.

GAF Master Elite Warranties

Being a qualified Master Elite roofing contractor means we can provide our customers with the best warranties in the roofing industry. GAF offers these warranties to help ensure customer satisfaction and peace of mind in knowing that their roof will be taken care of no matter what happens.

But even if a customer chooses not to purchase a GAF warranty, they will still receive the highest quality workmanship in the business, and quality materials will still be used on their roof.

Golden Pledge Warranty

A GAF Master Elite contractor is the only roofer that can provide the golden pledge warranty. This warranty is the most powerful and inclusive in the entire roofing industry.

The Golden Pledge is a one-time, transferable warranty that covers 100% of all manufacturer defects for the entire lifetime of the roof shingles. It also covers workmanship defects for 25 years. This even includes disposal costs and tear-off costs.

Silver Pledge Warranty

The Silver Pledge Warranty is GAF's mid-tier warranty. It is also a one-time, transferable warranty that covers 100% of all manufacturer defects for the entire lifetime of the shingles. The workmanship coverage is for 10 years, including tear-off and disposal costs.

Systems Plus Warranty

The Systems Plus is GAF's lowest-level warranty. Just like the other two, it is also a one-time, transferable warranty that covers 100% of all manufacturer defects for the entire lifetime of the shingles. However, it only has a 2-year workmanship coverage. And although it includes tear-off costs, it does not cover the disposal costs.
