What it Means to Be a GAF Certified Roofer

---

As North America’s largest manufacturer of roofing products, GAF (General Aniline & Film) is known for its longstanding commitment to quality, not only in their products but to the individuals and companies they certify to install them.

So, what does it mean to be a GAF factory-certified roofing contractor? And more importantly, why should you care that the contractor you hire to replace your roof bares this designation? Read on to find out.

 

To become a GAF certified contractor, one must undergo rigorous training and evaluation to meet GAF’s standards. This includes:

• Proof of proper and current licensing
• Maintain adequate insurance for the customer’s protection
• Ongoing training to keep current on all products and standards
• Maintain a good reputation for quality service and ethical business practices

Because certifications are renewed annually, any company or contractor who is not able to continually maintain these qualifications and standards is in jeopardy of losing their certification.

When you replace a roof, it’s not a once-in-a-while thing. A new roof can and should last for 15 years and more. So, doesn’t it make sense to ensure you’re hiring the very best, someone who is highly skilled, qualified, insured, and can stand behind their product and installation by offering the most comprehensive warranty available?

That’s not all you get with Zaman Roofing, a leading contractor serving homeowners throughout Central CT and beyond:

• Access to more roofing options. GAF certified roofing contractors can offer a wider array of roofing systems that are both stylish and functional.
• Skillful installation. When you choose to partner with a GAF certified contractor, you can rest easy knowing they are trained in all the latest installation techniques and are provided with the best educational tools and systems in the industry.
• Higher-end warranty eligibility. A roofing company doesn’t need to be GAF certified to install a GAF roofing system. However, a certified contractor like Zaman Roofing can offer its customers special warranty options such as extended coverage on shingles and labor.
