When investing in a new roof for your home, one of the most important—and often overlooked—factors is the warranty. At RB Restoration Builders, we proudly install GAF roofing systems backed by some of the best warranties in the industry, including a 25-year workmanship warranty. But what exactly is a GAF warranty, and why should homeowners in Charlotte, NC care?
In this article, we’ll break it all down for you.
What is GAF?
GAF (General Aniline & Film) is the leading roofing manufacturer in North America, known for producing high-quality roofing materials that are durable, attractive, and built to last. With over 130 years of experience, GAF has become synonymous with reliability in the roofing industry.
Types of GAF Warranties
GAF offers several warranty options depending on the materials installed and whether the contractor is GAF certified. At RB Restoration Builders, we are proud to offer enhanced warranties thanks to our status as a trusted installer.
Here are the most common GAF warranty types:
1. GAF Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty
- Covers material defects only.
- Typically includes a limited period of non-prorated coverage (also known as the Smart Choice Protection Period).
2. System Plus Warranty
- Covers both materials and some components of the full roofing system.
- Extended Smart Choice Protection Period.
- Requires installation of at least 3 qualifying GAF accessories.
3. Silver Pledge Warranty
- Includes 50 years of material defect coverage.
- Offers 10–25 years of workmanship coverage (we offer 25 years).
- Requires installation by a GAF Certified Contractor.
- Includes a 40-point factory inspection.
4. Golden Pledge Warranty
- GAF’s most comprehensive warranty.
- Includes 50 years of material coverage and 25 years of workmanship.
- Backed by GAF and includes an in-depth factory inspection.
- Only available through Master Elite® contractors.
At RB Restoration Builders, we offer 25-Year GAF Workmanship Warranty as part of our commitment to quality and long-term peace of mind for our customers.
📌 Why Does a GAF Warranty Matter for Charlotte Homeowners?
Charlotte’s weather can be unpredictable—storms, hail, wind, and humidity all take a toll on your roof. Having a reliable warranty means you’re protected long after installation day.
Here’s why the GAF warranty is a game-changer:
1. Storm Damage Peace of Mind
A GAF-backed roof ensures that if storm-related damage is covered under the warranty, you won’t be left footing the bill for material defects or faulty workmanship.
2. Workmanship Matters
Most roofing issues stem from improper installation—not defective materials. That’s why our 25-year workmanship warranty is so valuable: it covers you even if the issue wasn’t caused by a storm or natural wear.
3. Adds Home Value
A transferable GAF warranty can increase resale value. If you sell your home, the next owner can benefit from the remaining protection—an excellent selling point.
4. No Out-of-Pocket Surprises
If something goes wrong that’s covered under the warranty, you avoid unexpected expenses. That’s security you can’t put a price on.
