GAF Roofing Warranties: An Overview

There are three common types of roof warranties — the manufacturer’s product warranties, contractor warranties and enhanced manufacturer’s warranties. All three of them grant homeowners the peace of mind that if the product fails unexpectedly, then the cost of repairs or replacement will be reduced or completely covered. In this post, your trusted roofing contractors suggest that enhanced manufacturer’s warranties deliver homeowners the most protection. Today, we’ll delve into GAF roofing warranties. 

Understanding GAF Roofing Warranties

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. The warranty comes with a wind coverage of 15 years (with a maximum wind speed coverage of up to 130mph) as long as installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. 

GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty  You must have GAF shingles installed for this protection, along with three qualifying accessory products. It offers a 10-year protection period and a 10-year algae warranty. It also has a wind warranty coverage of 15 years with a WINDPROVEN Limited Wind Warranty without any maximum speed limitations. 

System Plus Limited Warranty  Roofing contractors say this 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 and a 10-year algae warranty. It has a 15-year WINDPROVEN Limited Wind Warranty without maximum speed limitations. It also covers shingle tear-offs if necessary.

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 and a 10-year algae coverage. It also has a 15-year wind warranty coverage without maximum wind limitations. Whenever necessary, both shingle tear-off and disposal are covered. 

Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty  To acquire this feature, you must have GAF shingles and at least five qualifying accessory products installed by a GAF Master Elite roofing contractor. This will give you access to 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 speed limitations. Like the Silver Pledge Limited Warranty, it covers tear-offs and disposals when necessary. It also comes with a workmanship guarantee of up to 25 years.
