Qualifications for the GAF Lifetime Warranties

Introduction

When you decide to begin a roofing project, you have to make all the necessary preparations because it is not a small investment. In this preparation, you need to ensure you get a lifetime solution to give your family the quality they can trust. Part of this includes getting the proper warranty for your home’s roofing. GAF provides excellent residential warranties to protect you from unnecessary costs brought about by poor materials and installation. However, you need to consult our experts at Baldpates General Contracting to know the best option for your house. Each warranty provides different time limits and will ensure you enjoy the whole expected lifespan.

GAF Shingle and Accessory Limited Warranty

You automatically qualify for this warranty when you purchase GAF shingles and any other accessory alongside them. This option works for any single, detached family house where you install the GAF shingles and accessories. You will receive a ten-year protection period and coverage against algae growth. The warranty will also cover your home from wind damage for fifteen years against winds that are up to 130 mph. However, to enjoy all these, you must employ the services of a professional contractor who will install the roofing according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 

GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty

This warranty comes in the second position and requires you to have a GAF roof installed alongside three specified accessories. You will receive ten-year protection from damage and algae growth. You also get WINDPROVEN wind coverage for 15 years without a maximum speed limit. However, you don’t get any specifications on who installs your roofing system.  

System Plus Limited Warranty

This warranty applies to everyone who buys a GAF roofing plus a minimum of three qualifying accessories. You will also have to get a certified Master Elite Roofing Contractor like Baldpates General Contracting to install your home’s top. This option provides a 10-year coverage against algae growth, 50-year protection time, and 15-year coverage from wind damage. The benefit of having this warranty is that you do not have any wind speed limit. To top it off, you will get coverage from tear-offs in case they happen during the set period. 

Silver Pledge Limited Warranty

This warranty offers more than the system plus, thus assuring you more protection. However, you will need to purchase a GAF roofing system plus four qualified accessories. Additionally, you will need to have a Master Elite Roofing Contractor like us do the installation on your residence. This requirement ensures that the work gets done according to the instructions given by the manufacturers. Any shortcuts or incorrect installation disqualifies the warranty. 

With the Silver Pledge Lifetime warranty, you get an overwhelming fifty-year protection period. The algae and wind coverage remain at ten and fifteen years, respectively. Like in the system plus option, there is no maximum limit for wind strength. Other additions include disposal and tear-offs coverage, which help you deal with any minor issues that come up along the way. You also get workmanship coverage for ten years which guarantees that our pros shall provide quality work. 

Golden Pledge Limited Warranty

The gold pledge is the highest warranty level and requires you to purchase the GAF shingles plus at least five accessory items. Having your roof installed by a Master Elite Roofing Contractor is also essential to guarantee access to this coverage. With these requirements met, you can enjoy the maximum benefits of using GAF products. 

You receive the standard ten-year coverage against algae damage and fifteen-year coverage against extreme winds. As with the other two options, the warranty does not have a maximum wind speed limit, thus providing you with peace of mind no matter the raging storms. 

Additionally, you will also receive a 25-year workmanship coverage, thus guaranteeing you decades without constant repairs. Tear-offs and disposals also get covered when necessary.
