What Does It Take to Be a GAF Master Elite™ Roofer

In the roofing industry, the GAF Master Elite™ program is the most coveted certification of all. Attached to only the top 3% of all roofing contractors in America, it’s the culmination of the brand’s stringent standards.

As one of the few Master Elite roofing contractors in the country, Krech Exteriors talks about what it takes to be one:

Proper Licensing

In states where a license is necessary to perform roofing work, GAF considers it a non-negotiable prerequisite when certifying roofers. Meeting the state’s demanding trade requirements lets the brand know that the company plays by the rules.

Hiring a licensed roofer is the best way to protect yourself against scams. A license is your guarantee that the company is proficient enough to carry out roofing jobs according to the latest building codes. A licensed roofer will provide you a legally binding written contract, which is your insurance against unfinished tasks and hidden costs.

Adequate Insurance

The main difference between GAF Master Elite and Certified™ roofing contractors is insurance. Insurance brings peace of mind in every project by employing sufficient liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Apart from ethical business practice, adequate insurance equals protection for your pocket. In case of any accidents, an insured roofer will spare you the burden of accountability and the rigors of litigation.

Proven Experience and Reputation

To be a Master Elite roofer, one must be in the business for a long time and establish a solid local reputation. Without impeccable customer service history, earning this prestigious title is impossible.

Unwavering Commitment to Ongoing Training

Gaining the Master Elite status is one thing, but maintaining it is another. GAF requires all contractors in its extensive network to stay current in the latest installation methods and best industry practices. With access to extensive educational materials developed by GAF’s technical experts, Master Elite roofers are prepared for anything.
