GAF Certification
GAF Master Elite
Awarded to roughly the top 3% of roofing contractors in the country — GAF's highest certification tier.
What Is GAF Master Elite?
GAF Master Elite is the highest certification GAF offers, held by a small fraction of the residential roofing contractors GAF works with across the U.S. Getting there means proving licensing, insurance, and financial stability, then keeping a strong track record on warranty claims and customer satisfaction — GAF audits this, it isn't self-reported.
Why It Matters To You
- Unlocks GAF's strongest manufacturer warranty coverage — not available through non-certified contractors
- Independently vetted and renewed annually, not a one-time badge
- A prerequisite for GAF's Presidential Award, which we've also won
- Backed by proven installation quality across residential and commercial jobs
