Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, so you don\u2019t want to leave it to just anyone. If you have to do any kind of roof repair or replacement, you need to hire the most qualified contractor. That\u2019s why you should talk to a Master Elite roofing contractor. This is someone who has been factory authorized by the GAF, which is one of the oldest and largest roofing companies in the United States.

It is extremely difficult for roofers to get certified as a Master Elite contractor.
Not only do they have to be licensed and insured, but they also have to have an
excellent rating with the Better Business Bureau. They also need to have all of
the following:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>A 99% customer satisfaction rate based on independent GAF surveys.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>A clean banking record.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>No unresolved liens or judgments on their record.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

To keep their GAF certified roofing title, they must also be committed to doing
continuing education and training so they can provide the best possible service
with the most state-of-the-art roofing installation and repair methods. They
also get consistent praise from clients because of their work ethic and
craftsmanship. And because GAF has a reputation for roofing excellence that
goes back to 1886, their certifications are among the most prestigious in the industry.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Should Hire a GAF Certified Roofing Contractor<\/h2>\n

Only 3% of all roofing contractors are GAF certified, but it would be in your best
interest to find one in your area. GAF certified roofing contractors will be
able to provide the best quality service. Because they need to have a 99%
customer satisfaction rating, almost every client they serve needs to be happy
with their work. And because they must continue their training, any Master
Elite contractor you hire will be able to perform a high-quality installation
or repair.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Not only will a GAF certified roofer be able to give you the best possible service, they
will also be able to give you some of the best warranties in the industry. They
must comply with GAF factory standards, and many of them include the option for
a factory inspection on your finished roof. A GAF certified roofing warranty
will be able to give you more home protection with the GAF\u2019s Weather Stopper
Roof Protection System, which gives you lifetime protection from severe weather
by including the following:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>A state-of-the-art leak barrier.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>An attic ventilation system.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>Ridge cap shingles.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

All of these are designed to keep your roof safe and dry even during the worst storms.
GAF certified roofing contractors can also offer algae protection for the first
ten years, as well as wind protection for the first 15 years. And if there’s a
manufacturing defect in any installed GAF product, the warranty will replace
the item and cover any reasonable costs for labor. There are also warranties that
will give you coverage for any GAF product that wasn\u2019t installed correctly.
This can include any flashing that was installed in any of the following areas:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>Valleys.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>Dormers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>Chimneys.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span>Plumbing vents.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

More commonly referred to as \u201cworkmanship coverage,\u201d these warranties are only
available through GAF Certified Master Elite roofing contractors.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Master Elite roofing contractors must also agree to complete a certain amount of
ongoing education on how to install GAF products. This will make sure that the
work done on every home is done professionally. In fact, 93% of more than
28,000 property owners that were surveyed would recommend their GAF certified
contractor to a friend or family member. The GAF also randomly inspects roofing
projects that have been completed by each of its certified contractors to make
sure that their standards are upheld.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
