The venerable roofing materials company General Aniline and Film (GAF) has provided US roofers with top-quality materials since 1886. To improve the performance of their roofing materials, they offer various certifications to roofers who complete manufacturer-designed training in the proper installation of their products. Two of these certifications – Certified and Master Elite – set apart roofers who have undergone GAF training and exams.
The three percent of North American roofers who earned GAF certification did so by completing a GAF training program and exam. This entry-level certification confirms the craftmanship and roofing skills of the individual. To qualify for the training, the roofer must offer evidence of their experience, superb reputation and trustworthiness. After passing the training ethical qualifications, the roofer completes coursework and an exam in the following GAF-specific topics:
After completion of this process, the roofer agrees to offer free roof inspections. When a GAF Certified roofer installs a roof, that roof receives a 25-year workmanship warranty.
The entry-level GAF certification offers roofers the opportunity to earn certification for the type of roofing they typically install. These include:
When you read the words “GAF Certified,” it means the roofer earned at least the lowest level of certification in their specialty – Authorized Homebuilder, Master Select, or Solar Elite.
The Master Elite designation indicates that the roofer earned the top-level GAF certification for residential roofing. In the US, only three percent of roofers earned this certification. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2021, 158,800 individuals held the job of a roofer, meaning about 4,764 of those roofers earned the Master Elite certification.
Roofers who earn these certifications offer the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty, a limited lifetime warranty that includes 50 years of non-prorated coverage. They also offer a 25-year workmanship warranty. Since only the GAF-certified roofers can offer the 25-year warranty, GAF makes it worth the effort to find and hire one of them.
