Wind damage is available in all GAF roof warranties covering shingles and accessories. Wind damage is one of the most common risks to be covered by roofing warranties. For 15 years, you can trust that your warranty will cover wind damage on GAF shingles and ridge cap shingles. Note that wind warranties cover no other GAF accessory products. GAF Wind Warranties will only provide coverage up to a maximum wind speed, which will vary depending on the type of shingle and ridge cap shingle installed. The installation method will also factor into the maximum wind speed. When claiming wind warranty coverage, the remedy provided will be reimbursement for reasonable costs of replacement and re-sealing of applicable materials. See the applicable warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.

The exact coverage of a materials warranty will depend on the brand material used in your roof installation. Typically, material warranties will cover shingles for at least 20 years, but possibly 40 years or more. Some shingles can last longer than you might expect, such as GAF 50-year architectural shingles. Other components could have material coverage for as short as just a few months. Please note that it is the manufacturer who provides coverage against material defects. This means that if the manufacturer goes out of business 10 years after your roof is installed, your coverage goes out with them! Don’t be caught unaware. Select a brand that is in a position to last as long as the material you have installed.

Independent Construction participates in the GAF Golden Pledge® Ltd. Warranty, the first manufacturer’s warranty to cover both material defects and the contractor’s workmanship (see warranty for complete coverage and restrictions). While many manufacturers stand by their products, GAF works closely with roofing experts to ensure you receive only the best installation. You should only work with a trusted contractor like us, who has put in the work to become a GAF-certified roofing contractor. With the Silver and Golden Pledge Ltd. GAF roof warranties, you will be covered against workmanship error for 10 and 25 years, respectively.

Algae discoloration and damage coverage are available in all GAF roof warranties, covering shingles and accessories. The remedy provided in the event of a claim will be the reasonable cost of commercial cleaning of the shingles, ridge cap shingles, or StarterMatch® starter strip shingles. GAF reserves the right to offer or reject replacement of the affected shingles under this coverage. StainGuard®-labeled shingles carry a 10-year limited warranty and 1-year non-prorated period. If you opt for an enhanced warranty offered through GAF-certified contractors, your StainGuard Plus™-labeled shingles, ridge cap shingles, and starter strips may be eligible for a 15-year non-prorated period. Algae discoloration is not covered for any other GAF Accessory Products.
