Getting to Know Your GAF Roofing Warranties

Are you familiar with roofing warranties? These cover items and other quality defects, guaranteeing that your roofer will be responsible for fixing issues if the installation or replacement fails. However, contracts may vary depending on the situation. Today, your trusted roofing contractor discusses the basics of GAF roofing warranties. 

  1. GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty: GAF shingles and accessories come with a Lifetime warranty. This includes a 10-year protection period and 10-year coverage against algae growth. It comes with a wind coverage of 15 years as long as installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  2. GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty: To get this, you must have GAF shingles installed, along with three qualifying accessory products. This provides a 10-year protection period and a 10-year algae warranty, with a wind warranty coverage of 15 years— a WINDPROVEN Limited Wind Warranty without any maximum speed limitations.
  3. System Plus Limited Warranty: Roof replacement installers say this feature also requires you to have GAF shingles installed with at least three qualifying accessories. The products must be installed by a GAF certified provider of roofing services or a Master Elite® Roofing Contractor. It includes a Lifetime warranty with a 50-year protection period, a 10-year algae warranty, and a 15-year WINDPROVEN Limited Wind Warranty without maximum speed limitations. It also covers shingle tear-offs if necessary. (GOOD)
  4. Silver Pledge™ Limited Warranty: You’ll need to have GAF shingles installed along with at least four qualifying accessory products to gain access to this warranty. A GAF Master Elite roofing contractor must also install these products. It comes with a Lifetime warranty with a 50-year protection period, a 10-year algae coverage, and a 15-year wind warranty without maximum wind limitations. Whenever necessary, both shingle tear-off and disposal are covered. (BETTER)
  5. Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty: To obtain this feature, get GAF shingles and at least five qualifying accessory products installed by a GAF Master Elite roofing contractor. This will grant you a Lifetime warranty with a 50-year protection period and 10-year algae coverage. It includes a 15-year wind warranty coverage with a WINDPROVEN Limited Wind Warranty without maximum wind speeds limitations. Like the Silver Pledge Limited Warranty, it covers tear-offs and disposals when necessary. It also comes with a workmanship guarantee of 25 years.  (BEST)
