A Quick Guide to the Different Levels of GAF Certification

GAF, a leading manufacturer in the roofing industry, provides a certification program that distinguishes contractors based on their skill, knowledge, and quality of work. This article explores the different levels of GAF certification, enabling residents of Iowa to choose a contractor that best fits their roofing needs.

Understanding GAF Certification

GAF certification signifies a roofing contractor’s commitment to quality installation, superior protection, and customer satisfaction. Based on rigorous standards, this certification is a testament to the contractor’s ability to offer exceptional services. Evans Roofing Home Repair Inc. prides itself on attaining GAF certification, ensuring homeowners receive top-notch roofing services.

Authorized Level

The authorized level is the initial step in the GAF certification ladder. Contractors at this tier have met basic requirements set by the roofing manufacturer and are recognized for their commitment to providing quality roofing services. Homeowners working with authorized contractors have access to the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty, which offers comprehensive coverage for roofing systems installed by these professionals. Authorized contractors are a reliable choice for homeowners prioritizing quality and assurance in their roofing projects.

Certified Level

Moving beyond the authorized level, the certified tier represents a significant step up in terms of expertise and reliability. Contractors achieving this certification have a proven track record of quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Opting for a certified contractor means enjoying the benefits of the GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty, which includes extended coverage for materials and workmanship. Certified contractors have undergone additional training, committing to regular professional development to stay abreast of the latest advancements in roofing technologies and methods.

Master Elite® Level

The Master Elite certification is the pinnacle of GAF’s certification program. Only the top 2% of all roofing contractors in North America attain this level, which requires rigorous dedication to quality, customer satisfaction, and ongoing professional training. This allows them to offer the highest standard of excellence and professionalism. Like their GAF-certified counterparts, Master Elite contractors offer the GAF Golden Pledge Plus Limited Warranty, plus a 40-point factory inspection, ensuring long-term peace of mind.

President’s Club Award

Within the Master Elite level, the President’s Club Award represents the zenith of achievement for GAF contractors. This exclusive recognition is reserved for those who have exemplified exceptional levels of excellence, reliability, and service. President’s Club members have access to the same advanced warranty protections offered at the Master Elite level but are distinguished by their proven track record of success and customer satisfaction across a range of projects.

GAF Shingles and Products

It’s essential to note that beyond the certifications and the warranties, the quality of GAF shingles and roofing products stands unmatched. From traditional three-tab shingles to advanced architectural designs, GAF ensures durability, aesthetics, and performance. Iowa residents trust in the combination of skilled craftsmanship from GAF-certified contractors and superior products for a roofing solution that lasts for decades.
