What does it mean to be a GAF certified contractor?

GAF is the largest manufacturer of roofing products in North America and has been in business for 125+ years. One of the many reasons they have become such a long-lasting and reputable company is their commitment to quality, both in their products and those they certify to install their roofing materials. To become a factory-certified contractor for GAF means that the roofing company has went through training and certification to meet the GAF stringent set of standards.

GAF Certified Contractor Requirements

To become one of the GAF certified contractors, Fort Worth roofing companies must be able to prove they are worthy of the distinction. GAF certified contractors must go through ongoing testing and classes to ensure they are familiar with GAF products and the proper installation.

GAF offers the program to any roofing company that installs their product, but few are able to meet the qualifications. To get the Golden Pledge warranty that GAF offers, which is the best warranty on a roof you can get, your roof needs to be entirely GAF products and installed by one of these certified contractors. Some of the minimum requirements to be certified through GAF are:

–        Prove that you have all the proper licensing for your city and state

–        Have full insurance for your customer’s protection

–        Complete ongoing training to ensure that installers are aware of all product changes and standards

–        Keep a stellar reputation in the community for service and business standards

GAF certifications are renewed once a year so that any company not able to maintain these qualifications may lose the certification title. When looking for a Fort Worth roofing contractor, you can verify if a contractor is GAF certified by visiting the GAF website at http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Residential/Contractors/Validator. Just enter the contractors phone number or contractor ID to see if they are certified.

A new roof is a large investment. Before hiring any contractor, it is important to ensure that they are insured and qualified for the job. Being a GAF certified contractor means that the company has already passed these qualifications, and more, and can offer to install one of the best roofing products in the industry with the most extensive warranty.

Not all roofing contractors are the same. It takes more than being able to swing a hammer to be able to install a quality roof that will last for decades. Considering the investment that homeowners put into a new roof, it makes sense to ensure that the contractor that installs it has a good reputation and is qualified to install the best roofing products. For homeowners in the Fort Worth and Dallas areas, they can count on Old Pro Roofing to provide that service. They are factory-certified by GAF and offer a free roof inspection for all their neighbors. Call today to schedule one for your home.
