When buying any expensive item, it is necessary to get a warranty for the product. This usually serves as an assurance of quality and durability to ensure peace of mind. When purchasing your roofing materials, it is essential that you get the appropriate warranty for your home. While the roof protects your home from harsh weather conditions, you need to protect your pocket from additional expenses. Therefore, you should work with our experts to guide you on the appropriate package deal that fits the materials you purchase. Each level provides a unique cover for a set timeline where you can report any manufacturing defects.
GAF Shingle and Accessory Limited Warranty
This is the basic level warranty you receive after buying GAF roofing products. You get a lifetime warranty, meaning that you can get a refund for any defects you find at any time, as long as they are not a result of external factors. The cover also includes a 10-year protection against algae growth. Thus, you can seek compensation if you get algae damage during this period. Finally, you will enjoy coverage against strong winds up to 135mph. This is significantly above what other roofing products offer. However, all these rely on having professionals perform the installation work to ensure they work according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
GAF Roofing Limited Warranty
To enjoy this warranty, you need to purchase GAF shingles with three qualifying accessories. It lasts for the entire lifespan of the shingles and has a 10-year protection period and coverage against algae damage. This comes in handy, especially for individuals who live in areas with high moisture levels. You also get a 15-year Windproven limited warranty coverage. This means that your roof remains covered against wind damage for the next 15 years, no matter the strength of the wind.
System Plus Limited Warranty
This package also works for GAF shingles accompanied by three qualifying accessories. However, the restrictions require using a GAF-certified roofing expert or a Master Elite Roofing Contractor during installation. The purpose of this regulation is to ensure expert installation to avoid mistakes that may damage or weaken the structure.
This warranty level provides a lifetime warranty lasting 50 years and the usual 10-year algae growth coverage. You will also get the Windproven limited warranty as provided by the previous package. Therefore, you will not incur damage costs if you live in an area prone to storms or hurricanes. The warranty can also cover shingle tear-offs if they seem applicable to the situation. Nevertheless, a trained expert will assess the damage before the claim gets processed.
Silver Pledge
This is the second-highest warranty deal and requires you to have GAF shingles and four recommended accessories. You must also use a Master Elite Roofing Contractor in the installation process since they are familiar with the products and have excellent skills. As with the previous warranties, the Silver Pledge offers a 50-year lifetime warranty and a 10-year algae growth coverage.
You also receive a 15-year wind warranty for your shingles without any limitations on the wind strength. This way, you can claim compensation if the shingles get damaged during stormy weather. The workmanship coverage extends up to ten years, and you will also enjoy tear-off and disposal coverage. These last two come in handy when you want to replace an old GAF roof with a new one.
Gold Pledge Limited Warranty
This highest-level warranty pledge can give you the absolute rest you need after incurring such a considerable expense. However, to qualify, you must rely on your Master Elite Roofing Contractor to purchase and install your GAF shingles. With our expert team on the job, you get high-quality services that will be worth every penny you spend.
The Gold Pledge warranty offers a similar offer to the Silver Pledge. The manufacturer provides the same lifetime, algae growth, and Windproven coverage for this package. However, the workmanship coverage spans 25 years, thus assuring you of the quality of the work. It also covers expenses involved in tear-offs and disposal.
