These warranties give our customers the peace of mind to know that no matter what happens, their roof will be taken care of. Even if customers choose not to purchase these warranties, they know that quality materials are being put on their roof and that they will receive the highest quality workmanship in the business.

Warranties

GAF offers three levels of worry-free warranties.

The Golden Pledge Warranty is the most inclusive warranty available.  It covers 100% of all manufacturer defects for the entire lifetime of the shingle.  Golden Pledge also covers workmanship defects for 25 years.  This includes tear-off costs, as well as disposal costs.  Any repairs needed because of manufacturer defects or poor workmanship will be made by a GAF Master Elite™ Roofing Contractor, ensuring that you will get the highest quality work possible.  Golden Pledge is a one-time transferable warranty.

The Silver Pledge Warranty is the mid-level warranty that is offered by GAF.  This covers 100% of all manufacturer defects for the entire lifetime of the shingle.  The workmanship coverage for Silver Pledge is 10 years.  This includes tear-off costs, as well as disposal costs. It is also a one-time transferable warranty

The Systems Plus Warranty is the lowest level warranty that GAF offers.  It also covers 100% of all manufacturer defects for the entire lifetime of the shingle, but it only has a 2 year Workmanship Coverage.  It is a one-time transferable warranty.
