What GAF Certified Means For You
GAF Certified Contractor status indicates participation in GAF’s factory-backed training and standards. That helps us install according to manufacturer specifications and, when we install a qualifying GAF roofing system (shingles plus required accessories), it may provide access to enhanced GAF warranty options beyond standard product coverage. Specific eligibility and terms depend on the exact system and GAF program rules — we present these options in writing before work begins.
