Here’s what it means to be GAF Master Elite Certified and why the difference matters.
HOW GAF CERTIFICATION WORKS
The Importance of GAF Master Elite Certification in the Industry
GAF (General Aniline & Film) is recognized as a top manufacturer in the United States for roofing and waterproofing materials. The GAF Master Elite Certification is a prestigious recognition in the roofing sector, granted by one of the industry’s largest and most renowned roofing material manufacturers. It symbolizes a roofer’s professional excellence, skill, and quality of work.
To earn this title, roofers must fulfill several criteria, including:
Restrictions may apply. Cannot be combined with other offers. Financing is on approved credit.
A+ BBB RATING
PROPER INSURANCE AND LISCENSURE
A MINIMUM OF 7 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN ROOFING
A LOCAL SATISFACTION RATE OF 99% OR HIGHER
A DEDICATION TO CONTINUAL TRAINING
This certification is not easily attained and represents a roofer’s commitment to excellence in their field. A GAF Master Elite® certified roofer stands out as the only one able to offer the top-tier Silver Pledge and Gold Pledge warranties, both supported by GAF. This certification also means the roofer’s workmanship is covered by GAF.
Since most roofing issues stem from installation rather than the products themselves, a GAF Master Elite® roofer’s training ensures proper installation and adherence to high ethical standards. Spartan Home Pros is proud to be recognized as a GAF Master Elite® contractor, guaranteeing that your roofing project is handled with expert care and professionalism.

GAF's Warranties
Maintaining a strong community reputation is just one requirement for roofing companies to attain GAF Master Elite Certification. Certified contractors are typically cautious, yet mistakes can still occur, sometimes with significant financial implications for homeowners. To mitigate this, many GAF-certified contractors offer warranties as a safeguard. GAF provides various levels of warranty protection to accommodate different needs and preferences.
THE GOLDEN PLEDGE WARRANTY
This warranty offers comprehensive coverage for the lifetime of the shingle, protecting against all manufacturing defects without any extra cost. Under the Golden Pledge, any faulty workmanship is addressed for up to 25 years, including the costs for removal and disposal. A GAF Master EliteTM Roofing Contractor will rectify any roof issues, whether they stem from material defects or installation errors. The Golden Pledge is a one-time warranty, ensuring lasting peace of mind for homeowners.
THE SILVER PLEDGE WARRANTY
The Silver Pledge is the company’s mid-level warranty option. It covers any manufacturing defects for the life of the shingle and includes a ten-year warranty on workmanship. This plan also covers costs for removal and disposal. Additionally, the Silver Pledge warranty is transferable and applicable once, offering a balance of protection and value.
THE SYSTEMS PLUS WARRANTY
GAF’s basic warranty, Systems Plus, provides two years of workmanship coverage and protects against manufacturer defects for the shingle’s lifetime. While it includes tear-off expenses, disposal costs are not covered. This warranty can be transferred once, offering essential protection with limited duration of workmanship coverage.
