GAF Roof Warranty vs. Competitors in NJ: Comparing Coverage

A Strong Roof Starts with Strong Coverage

When you invest in a new roof, you’re not just paying for shingles and labor—you’re paying for long-term peace of mind. A reliable roofing warranty ensures that if something goes wrong, you’re not left covering the cost of repairs or replacements out of pocket.

At Golden Master Roofing, we proudly install GAF roofing systems backed by the industry’s most comprehensive warranties. As a GAF Master Elite® Contractor, we’re authorized to offer exclusive protection options that go far beyond the standard coverage offered by most New Jersey roofers.

What Makes a GAF Roof Warranty Different?

1. Lifetime Coverage on Materials and Workmanship

Most roofing warranties from other contractors only cover manufacturing defects. But with GAF’s enhanced warranties, you get protection for both:

• Material Defects (e.g., shingle cracking, blistering, or manufacturing flaws)
• Workmanship Errors (the most common cause of premature failure)

Through the GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty, your entire roofing system is protected for 50 years on materials and up to 25 years on labor—when installed by a Master Elite contractor like Golden Master Roofing.

🔍 Compare that to most local warranties, which offer just 10–15 years of material coverage and little to no workmanship protection.

2. Certified Installation = Valid Warranty

Only 2% of all roofing contractors in North America are certified as GAF Master Elite. That means when you hire Golden Master Roofing, you’re getting:

• GAF-verified training and ongoing certification
• Access to exclusive warranty tiers not available to the general public
• Compliance with strict installation and material specs

A standard roofing warranty is only as strong as the installer backing it. GAF ensures that both the product and the workmanship are covered—no finger-pointing between manufacturer and contractor.

3. One-Time Free Transfer to New Homeowners

GAF warranties can be transferred once to a new homeowner within the first 20 years, at no cost. That’s a powerful selling point if you plan to move.

Other warranties are often:

• Non-transferable
• Only partially transferable
• Require a costly re-inspection or service fee to transfer

In a competitive New Jersey real estate market, having a fully transferable roof warranty increases your property’s value and marketability.

4. Tear-Off, Disposal & Labor Included

Many standard warranties only cover materials—meaning you could still be stuck with:

• The cost of tearing off failed shingles
• Disposal and landfill fees
• Re-installation labor costs

GAF’s system warranties cover the entire roofing system, including:

• Shingles
• Underlayment
• Starter strips
• Ridge caps
• Flashing
• Labor

This means zero surprises if your roof fails due to covered reasons.
