Does My Roof Qualify for a GAF Lifetime Limited Warranty?

Checking for a warranty is crucial when investing in a costly or cherished item. While your brand-new roof shields your home from harsh weather conditions, it’s wise to ponder a set of inquiries, such as: How can I safeguard my roof? 

What exactly is a roofing warranty? What aspects does this warranty encompass, and for what duration? This blog post will delve into GAF warranties and comprehensively answer your queries. Remember that with various GAF warranty tiers, you can enjoy a reassuring sense of security, knowing your roof is well-protected.

What is a GAF Roofing Warranty?

While your freshly installed roof is undeniably impressive, it’s essential to acknowledge that its durability isn’t infinite. To avoid future roofing expenses and financial burdens, secure proper insurance coverage.

Teaming up with a certified GAF roofing contractor gives you access to a comprehensive roofing warranty encompassing materials and labor. Despite GAF materials’ renowned resilience against elements like heavy rainfall and strong winds, ensuring sufficient coverage is wise. 

What is A Lifetime Limited Warranty?Â

The term “Lifetime” in your GAF warranty refers to the duration of coverage. It stays in effect as long as you or the subsequent owner(s) of the property with the installed shingles/accessories retain ownership. This warranty covers shingles and accessories on privately owned single-family homes. For all other ownership or building types, like corporations, religious organizations, condos, or apartments, the warranty period is 40 years.

GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited WarrantyÂ

You automatically receive GAF’s comprehensive limited warranty when you invest in GAF roofing products. GAF shingles and accessories come with a lifetime warranty for single-family homes owned by individuals. This warranty includes 10-year protection against manufacturing defects and an additional 10-year coverage for algae growth prevention. Furthermore, GAF’s warranty extends its protection to include wind damage, offering an impressive 15-year coverage period for wind-related issues. 

This wind coverage remains valid if the roofing materials are installed strictly per the manufacturer’s recommended specifications. Notably, the wind protection encompasses winds of up to 130 miles per hour, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners. GAF’s warranty ensures lasting quality and home protection for your roofing investment.

Golden Pledge Limited WarrantyÂ

To be eligible for this warranty, specific criteria must be met. First, choose GAF shingles and ensure the installation includes at least five qualifying accessories. You should also choose a qualified GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor who strictly follows the manufacturer’s guidelines for your roofing project. Meeting these requirements qualifies you for a Lifetime Warranty, providing 50 years of roofing protection and 10 years against algae-related issues. 

In the event of wind damage, you can rely on the Limited Wind Warranty, which covers winds of all speeds. This warranty also extends its protection to include disposal and tear-offs when necessary. Furthermore, your roofing project has a solid 25-year workmanship guarantee, offering extra assurance.

System Plus Limited Warranty

Like the GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty, this also requires GAF shingles and at least three approved accessories for installation. A GAF-certified roofing service provider or a Master Elite Roofing Contractor must do the installation. 

This warranty boasts Lifetime coverage, a 50-year protection period, and a 10-year algae warranty. Additionally, it offers a 15-year WINDPROVEN Limited Wind Warranty with no speed limits and covers shingle tear-offs as needed.

Sale and Exclusive WarrantyÂ

This exclusive limited warranty overrides all other warranties, whether stated or implied by law or equity. This warranty encompasses the implied assurances of merchantability and suitability for a specific purpose. It is the singular recourse accessible to any GAF Shingles or Accessories owner. GAF does not provide additional assertions, terms, guarantees, or warranties beyond what is explicitly articulated herein.

GAF disclaims liability for damages, regardless of legal claims or reasons, whether related to structures or not. This restricted warranty affords you particular legal entitlements, and you might possess additional rights that fluctuate depending on your jurisdiction. In some areas, incidental or consequential damages limitations may not apply, making the above limitations or exclusions irrelevant.
