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.

Thinking about a new roof? It’s a significant investment and one of the first questions homeowners ask Tony’s Roofcare, Inc. is, “ How much does a new roof cost ?” We understand that budgeting is crucial for any project as large as a new roof. While providing an exact figure is impossible without a personalized assessment, we can offer a general overview of what goes into the costs for a new roof. What Factors Influence Roof Costs? Before we dive into pricing information, it’s important to understand the factors that will impact the final price: The size of your roof. The complexity of your roof. This includes multiple levels, dormers, intricate designs and more. The roofing materials you choose. Homeowners have the option of asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile and wood shakes and all have varying price points. The cost of labor. These costs vary based on your location and the experience your roofing contractor brings to the table. Underlayment and flashing. You will want to invest in quality materials and ensure proper installation because these are essential for a long-lasting roof for your investment. Removal and disposal of old roofing materials adds to the overall cost of the project. A difficult to access roof may increase labor costs. Addressing underlying issues like damaged decking or framing will add to the cost of the roof replacement. General cost ranges – keep in mind these are ever-changing and are only averages Asphalt shingles are the most common and affordable option. For an “average-sized” home the costs could begin at around $10,000. Metal roofs are the most durable and long-lasting option and are becoming more popular in recent years. The cost for an “average-home” size for a metal roof could begin at around $18,000. Tile or slate roofing is a premium option; these materials are great for historic buildings or homes concerned about moisture problems. These are the most expensive option and for an “average-sized” home the starting costs would be around $25,000. What are other considerations for a new roof? Any of the price options are rough estimates. Actual costs vary and depend on your roof, its condition, the roofing material you choose, where you live and other factors. Get more than one quote from a reputable roofing contractor. If the prices are vastly different ask for an explanation on the differences. Don’t shop for the lowest price for your roof. Consider the roofing contractor’s experience and reputation. Because a roof is such a significant expense, you want to get the absolute best. Inquire about warranties. Remember, a low price could sometimes mean low quality work or materials, and that could cost you more to fix in the future. Your roof is your home’s protection from the outside elements and you want the best protection your budget allows.
