GAF roofs come with quite a few options and the notoriety of a quality roof. If you have already looked into a GAF roofing system, you may have balked at the price, but really you should look at it as a worthy investment. The value and benefits of investing in a GAF roofing system are worth it for a number of reasons.
There’s an unfortunate assumption that every new roof installed on homes comes with a warranty. That’s not true. There are some roofs that do not come with any warranty at all, and some roofs that have a very limited, very short-term warranty. The limited warranties are three years or less and often don’t cover some of the most common issues you might encounter with a roof.
With a GAF roof, you have an incredible warranty that covers materials, construction, installation, and a number of conditions that commonly affect roofs. Most of what you pay for a GAF roof is directly tied to the warranty itself. It is worth every penny knowing that a GAF roof has that much protection.
No other roofing system can make the same claim. Every perk and every benefit that comes with a GAF roofing system is transferrable. That means that if you ever sell your home, the benefits that came with that roof transfer over to the new owners. Certificates received with your purchase of this roofing system should be handed over to the new owners during the sale process so that they can continue experiencing all of the related benefits.
When you have a GAF roof, the resale value of your home is higher. Real estate agents will promote the fact that the roof is a very high quality system that will last, prompting buyers to pay more. Ergo, what you pay and invest into your roof will come back to you whenever you choose to sell the home.
These contractors go through a really rigorous training process to get the distinguished honor of installing these roofs. They are also the only contractors allowed to repair them. That means that you will see the same contractor from start to finish and for all roofing needs in the future. You never need to call anyone else or hire anyone else once you have worked with your chosen GAF certified roofing contractor.
The high-tech research that goes into creating the shingles and other GAF roofing materials has created a roof that is remarkably resistant to just about everything that can destroy it. High winds are not a problem, including hurricane and tornado winds. Fire is no match for this roof either. As for water, be it flood water, snow, ice, etc., can’t find a way into or through the roof. It has received rewards and recognition for being one of the most resistant and most durable roofing systems.

For the most part, a GAF roofing system doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. You may still have to clean gutters, but you can avoid that by adding accessories that help keep the gutters clear. You can also keep snow and ice off the roof with some other GAF-approved roof accessories. Consider having these accessories installed at the same time your roof is replaced.
If you are still on the fence about buying a GAF system, there is financing available. Your new roof becomes more affordable when you can make payments over several months and/or years. Check with the contractors to see what kind of financing options they offer for GAF roofing systems before you hire one of them.
