Don’t Get Soaked by a Cut-Rate Roof: Why GAF Master Elite Contractors Rule
Is your roof looking a little worse every year? Listen, we’ve all been roofing contractors for more than thirty-five years, and we’ve seen every kind of roofer come and go. Here’s the golden rule we tell homeowners: don’t put your home in the hands of an unqualified professional!
Sure, some roofers might offer a price that sounds too good. But here’s the catch: those roofing contractors probably don’t have certification—they aren’t GAF-certified, let alone GAF Master Elite, or certified with other manufacturers such as CertainTeed, Owens Corning, or IKO. By the way, we install those roofing shingle brands as well.
That means a couple of things. First, forget fancy warranties like the GAF System Plus or the Golden Pledge. Only GAF Master Elite contractors can offer those; believe me, those warranties are worth their weight in gold (Another post for another week). They protect you way more than a handshake deal with a random roofer.
Second, with a non-certified roofer, it’s like a high-risk maneuver. You know how bad those can go! Successfully executing it will be like winning a championship. Don’t execute; your family will never let you forget about it. A non-certified roofer might use cheap materials that won’t last many Michigan winters. They may tell you all roofing shingles are the same. Worse yet, they could hack the job, void your manufacturer warranty, and cause building code violations. Code violations are a nightmare – you could end up with fines or even having to redo the whole roof! That so-called significant savings just cost you double. Double D’oh!
Phil: A cautionary tale
Let us tell you a cautionary tale. Remember Phil down the street? A year ago, he went with a bargain-basement roofer to save some money. There’s nothing wrong with trying to get a good deal. It seemed alright at first; the service was meh, but then came the first absolute downpour. Leaks everywhere—ruined ceiling, soaked furniture. It cost him a fortune to fix the mess, besides paying for a whole new roof and a lawyer.
Talk about a double whammy!
What’s the point?: When you skimp on the roofer, you’re not just risking leaks and repairs. You’re risking the safety of your whole home and everyone in it. A GAF Master Elite contractor, on the other hand, is qualified, plays by the rules, and has integrity. They follow strict building codes and are trained to install quality GAF roof materials, like the popular and durable Timberline® HDZ Roof Shingle. Would you entrust an unqualified babysitter with your children? Absolutely…Not! The same reasoning applies to your home.
“More professional training than regular certified contractors and an extensive record of happy customers.”
But that’s not all. GAF Master Elite contractors are the A-listers of GAF certifications. They undergo even more ongoing professional training on the best GAF roofing products than regular certified contractors. They have all necessary licenses, insurances, and permits, including $1 million in liability and worker’s compensation insurance. In addition to the requirements above, a contractor must have 7+ years of roofing experience and an excellent credit rating Finally, they have a proven track record of happy customers with the Better Business Bureau. That means you’re getting an authorized contractor dedicated to quality who will stand behind their work.
