Different Roofing Warranties Offered by GAF

December 15, 2014 by Tonia Hornsby

Many people like to purchase products with a warranty because it makes you feel better about spending money when you believe there is a quality guarantee. However, it’s important to understand that a roofing warranty is really only as good as the company that is behind that warranty. For that reason you want to work with a Madison, MS roofing contractor that provides high quality installations and a roofing manufacturer that builds the best quality products.

GAF, a leading manufacturer of roofing materials in America for decades, offers one of the best warranties in the business. As a potential roof buyer, you should know that GAF actually offers three different warranty options. Here is a quick comparison to help you determine which is right for you—they call them the Base, Better, and Best System Warranties.

Material Defect Coverage

If you find a defect in your GAF roofing materials, the warranties will cover 100 percent of the costs to replace them. The amount of time you get full coverage depends on the warranty:

BASE System: 10 years with available roofing system coverage and cost of installation labor included for all 10 years.
BETTER & BEST Systems: 50 years, with roofing system coverage included, and installation coverage available for life (as long as you remain in the home).

Workmanship Coverage

This type of coverage might be offered by your Madison, MS roofing contractor, but some of the GAF warranties also include workmanship coverage. While the Base System doesn’t include it, you can get two-year coverage with the Better System, and 25-year coverage with the Best System Warranty. The same coverage periods are applicable for misapplication of certain flashings.

Installer Certification

The choice of which roofing contractor to hire in Madison, MS can impact your warranty. The GAF Base System warranty does not require a certified installer, but the Better and Best Systems both require a GAF certified installer to be valid.

Other Benefits

GAF also offers tear-off costs for Better and Best System warranties, plus an exclusive 40-point factor inspection with both of these warranties so you can avoid problems down the road. Disposal costs are included as part of the Best System warranty only.

Some additional perks available on all GAF warranties to provide you with added peace of mind include:

Maximum wind coverage up to 130 mph Category 3 hurricane wind speeds (except on 3-tab shingles, and some restrictions may apply)
Transferrable warranty
Free transfer available

When it comes to roofing materials, quality matters, and GAF has been in the business of quality for many years. Contact a Madison, MS roofer today to find out more about how to get these roofing materials on your home.

Complete Exteriors did an amazing job. They are super professional, on time, and the quality is top notch. They found things that others had missed and worked with me the whole time. One of key takeaways for me is their service. To have a vendor not only do they job, but also inform and educate you through the whole process is amazing. Damien was on site the entire day during the build, constantly updating and working with his crews. He was even there the next day after the job to ensure all was good to do one last spot check. Even the general manager Eddie came out to ensure all was going right. Another aspect that was awesome is even when I was at work, I was getting a progress report with where they were at with job through today. Even when the materials were delivered, I got an update that showed all the matching lot numbers for every case of tiles. This was in no way a Lowes delivery weeks before the job. This was a managed direct delivery with all matching numbers. I will say, in a world where customer service is becoming less and less, Compete Exteriors is breaking the mold. Again, if you need a roof, give them a call. I feel 100% confident I have a roof for MANY years to come.

Complete Exteriors recently replaced my roof due to hail damage. I was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of the job. As proven by the finished product, they had a skilled team performing the roofing ( and wood replacement where needed. ). They even cleaned up the walkways in the attic. Joe, Damien, and Greg all checked in personally throughout the day to ensure the job was going according to my standards. I would definitely recommend them for any restoration or roof work.

I'd like to compliment Josh Wilson with complete exteriors. Josh handled all the handyman issues that needed to be done after the roof was installed. He took care of everything in a prompt and quality maner.

Damien was my roofer and is excellent and very professional. My experience with Holden overseeing this whole project has always been thorough. I’ve never had a problem with this company at all. I highly recommend!

Complete Exteriors has got to be the most organized, thorough, and efficient roofing contractor any where around. From the initial inspection with an insurance adjuster to installation, I never had to repeat myself nor ask the same questions until I got an answer. The left hand knew what the right hand was doing all through the process and I never had to worry about them following through with what we discussed in the planning stage. They handled all the paper work with the insurance company once I filed the claim. I highly recommend Complete Exteriors to service your roofing, gutter, and siding needs!

Great Company and staff. They did a great job with our roof replacement. Damien Pierre kept us aware about everything that was going on. He did a great job managing the process. I was really impressed with that young man.

I'd like to thank the Gutter installers from Complete Exteriors Roofing & Gutters for doing an outstanding install today, totally changed the look on the front of the house, appreciate the advice on going with the copper penny gutter, it has the look of expensive copper install but without the cost or tarnishing over the years. Professional, friendly, and timely, will definitely be looking at other services they offer.
