GAF Limited Warranties

GAF’s limited warranties is available in four levels of coverage:


  • GAF Shingle and Accessory Limited Warranty — GAF’s basic limited warranty coverage is on par with what is deemed as the “standard” warranty coverage. It features up to 10 years factory warranty and includes coverage on cost of installation labor. For homeowners on a budget, the coverage for the cost of installation labor is a clear advantage. Other contractors would still charge labor costs even if the work is done under warranty.


  • GAF System Plus Limited Warranty — This warranty level bumps up the factory warranty to up to 50 years. It also includes a two-year workmanship coverage as well as coverage on tear-off costs.


  • GAF Silver Pledge Limited Warranty — The next level upgrades the System Plus Limited Warrant workmanship coverage to 10 years as well as adds roofing disposal costs.


  • GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty — GAF’s top-tier warranty is available exclusively through the best roofer


  •  for the job, GAF Master Elite contractors. It features a 25-year coverage on workmanship, among other upgrades.



Roofing systems covered under these warranties also come with a special provision: the Smart Choice® Protection Period provides extra coverage against factory defects during its first critical years. If problems caused by factory defects develop on warranted components, GAF will provide replacement materials as well as the reasonable cost to install them, at no cost to the homeowner.
