Watch this video for a simplified explanation outlining the benefits of warranties available for the GAF Roofing System.
When replacing your roof, one of the factors to look for is a comprehensive manufacturer's roof warranty that offers protection and peace of mind. However, that can evaporate if shoddy work or common mistakes void your warranty.
Installing New Shingles Over the Old Ones
Installing new shingles over an existing or old roof or "reroofing" can void your roof warranty. Some roofers prefer using this method because it's easier and much cheaper. However, this process is not recommended because it can cause future problems and significantly affect your roof's lifespan.
Antenna or Satellite Dish Installation
Poor antenna or satellite dish installation can also affect your roofing warranty. Installing these usually requires drilling, which makes your roof prone to leaks and other roofing problems.
Solar Panel Installation
While solar panel installation can provide several benefits, keep in mind that it can void your roof warranty. If you need a solar panel for your home or property, ask your roofer about your warranty, so you know what to expect. Also, be sure to talk to your solar panel installer about their warranties.
Inadequate Roof Ventilation
Whether you have a metal roofing system or asphalt shingles, poor or inadequate roof ventilation can lead to several roof problems. Manufacturers or roofers may void your warranty if your attic space has improper ventilation.
Skylight Installation
Any major roofing project, like adding skylights or roof penetration, can void your roof warranty. Skylights can boost your home's curb appeal. However, poor installation can significantly impact your roof's lifespan and your roof warranty, as well.
Use of Unauthorized Accessories on the Roof
Avoid using unauthorized accessories on the roof. Using or installing prohibited accessories on the roof can automatically void your warranty. Your roofer should inform you about the unauthorized accessories or materials that can void your roof warranty.
Use of Pressure Washing
While many homeowners enjoy the convenience of pressure washing when cleaning debris off the roof, this method can also damage your shingles. The warranty can be voided if the roof is damaged due to pressure washing.
Using Third-Party Components
Another thing you should avoid is using a third-party component. Unless certified or validated by the manufacturer, your warranty will be voided when you use roofing materials, accessories, or anything from a third party.
Ponding/Standing Water
Depending on the warranty provided by your roofing contractor or the manufacturer, your warranty can also get voided when the roof damage is caused by ponding or standing water.
High Winds Can Void Your Roof Warranty
Again, you need to check warranties cover. Note that some warranties do not cover storm or roofing damages due to high winds.
A new roof is a big investment, typically involving thousands of your hard-earned dollars and lasting 25, 30, 40 years or more. As with any big investment, knowing in advance what your warranty covers could save you thousands in the event that problems arise with your roof.
Basically, there are two types of coverage that you should ask your contractor about: coverage against material defects and coverage against workmanship errors. Make sure you get both in writing.
Almost all roofing products come with a warranty against material defects, although your exact coverage will vary depending on the brand. For example, a typical shingle warranty will cover material defects for a period of 20, 30, 40 years or more.
The warranty on the other components of your roofing system can vary from as little as a few months to several years.
It is important to remember that coverage against material defects is provided by the manufacturer, so you should select a brand from a manufacturer who is financially strong and therefore more likely to be in business for as long as you own your roof, which could be several decades!
The GAF Weather Stopper System Plus Ltd. Warranty provides coverage against material defects for all major GAF components on your roof (not just your shingles), so you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing that, if any covered roofing component fails, it will be covered by the warranty (see ltd. warranty for complete coverage and restrictions).
The warranty is available through GAF certified contractors, and is a low-cost way to get up to 50 years of non-prorated coverage (against material defects) on your new roofing system.
Based on GAF’s state-of-the-art manufacturing process, the odds of having a problem with a new GAF roof are about 1 in 1000! On the other hand, while serious problems with GAF roofing materials are rare, if you were to have a problem, it can be as expensive to fix as your roof originally cost.
So while the risk of having a problem is low, the cost if you do have a serious problem can be high.
GAF’s warranties come with a special provision called the Smart Choice Protection Period that covers you against material defects during the critical early years of your new roof.
During this period, in the event that you experience a material defect on covered components, GAF will provide you with 100% replacement materials and the reasonable cost of labor to install them.
This is important because some roofing warranties may only provide replacement materials, but not the labor to install them.
Studies indicate that more than two-thirds of the problems that people experience with their new roofs are due to the contractor's workmanship, not the roofing materials.
That’s why you should trust a GAF “Master Elite” certified contractor like Affordable Roofing Systems with the installation.
Affordable Roofing Systems participates in the GAF Golden Pledge Ltd. Warranty, the first manufacturer’s warranty to cover both material defects and the contractor’s workmanship (see warranty for complete coverage and restrictions).
GAF will stand behind our workmanship up to 20 years! The Golden Pledge Ltd. Warranty is available only through GAF Master Elite Contractors like Affordable Roofing Systems who are factory-certified by GAF. The warranty even includes an inspection by GAF’s independent inspectors after your new roof has been completed to insure proper installation.
It is the strongest, safest warranty available in roofing today. Affordable Roofing Systems can provide a price for the warranty when we give you a quote for your new roof.
