Understanding Your GAF Roofing Warranty

Investing in a new roof is costly and could get costlier if problems arise from faulty materials or improper installation. A warranty comes into play to cushion the investor in case of any repairs or replacement. For a better understanding, here are different GAF roofing warranties.

GAF Shingle and Accessory Warranty

This base coverage warranty encompasses 100% roofing system and ten years for defective materials. For the first decade, the labor cost for installation is included in the coverage. Any item considered an accessory for GAF products is part of the ten-year coverage.

GAF companies conduct frequent inspections to avoid deterioration during the coverage tenure. However, GAF is aware of what could happen to their products. They have included GAF Lifetime Designer Shingles for 30 years. The GAF Timberline Lifetime Shingles for 25-year coverage, and GAF 3-Tab Shingles for 20 years.

System Plus Limited Warranty

This warranty assures GAF’s quality shingles, plus a 50-year coverage on material defects and the entire system. Warranties, including StainGuard Protection, cover harmful blue-green algae that can cause discoloration. GAF also provides ten years of coverage on GAF accessories and even warrants GAF ridge caps for up to 25 years. With this warranty, homeowners receive full coverage on labor if installed by a GAF Master Elite or Certified Contractor. Shingles identified as GAF products are insured from wind damage up to 130 miles per hour.

Silver Pledge Warranty

With the GAF Silver Pledge Warranty, GAF will cover repairs or replacement of up to half the cost of all GAF-supplied materials for up to 50 years. GAF will also pay for all labor costs associated with repairs or replacement. The company understands how important protecting your home is, and its warranty allows you to enjoy peace of mind. GAF warranties are also transferable, so if you ever sell your home, you can rest assured that GAF’s warranty will go along with it. The Silver Pledge warranty is an excellent way to extend your rooftop’s life.

Golden Pledge Ltd. Warranty

This is GAF’s top-of-the-line roofing warranty that provides homeowners with unprecedented protection. This warranty protects the life of your GAF roofing system against manufacturing defects and labor costs. By activating your GAF Warranty, any GAF-covered materials and services will be at their best for as long as you own your home.
