Each credential holding us accountable to a higher standard and allowing us to offer top quality products for our customers
When a homeowner hires a ShingleMaster-certified contractor, they can expect several advantages
Quality Workmanship
Installations are performed by knowledgeable crews who follow manufacturer-specified guidelines, reducing the risk of premature roof failure.
Access to Superior Products
Certified contractors can offer CertainTeed's full line of products, including high-performance shingles and integrated roofing system components.
Enhanced Warranties
A primary benefit is access to SureStart™ PLUS extended warranties, which provide more comprehensive coverage than standard warranties, potentially covering materials for up to 50 years and workmanship for up to 25 years. These warranties are also often transferable, adding value if the home is sold.
Accountability
Contractors must often maintain high customer satisfaction ratings to keep their certification, providing accountability.

A GAF certified roofer is a roofing company that has met stringent quality, reliability, and training standards set by GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer. Certification signifies that the company is fully licensed and insured, has a history of excellent workmanship, and has undergone specialized training to properly install and maintain GAF roofing products. GAF certified contractors also have the ability to offer special GAF warranties, such as the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty, which provides extensive coverage on both materials and workmanship.
What a GAF Certified Roofer Must Do
To become and remain GAF certified, a roofing company must:
Meet rigorous standards: This includes demonstrating a consistent history of exceptional work and meeting specific requirements for licensing, insurance, and financial responsibility.
Undergo specialized training: Installers receive ongoing training on the latest GAF products and techniques, ensuring they stay current with industry best practices.
Maintain a strong reputation: GAF requires certified contractors to have a stellar reputation for service and business standards within their community.
