GAFCertifiedApplicator.
Master Elite status — GAF's highest commercial contractor certification.
Not every
roofer
makes this cut.
We are a Master Elite certified applicator for GAF Commercial Roofing Systems — qualified to install and warranty the full system lineup. This certification requires product training, application audits, and documented project verification.
Every system,
specified.
We specify GAF systems to match your substrate, climate zone, and warranty requirement — not whatever is available. Every application is backed by a manufacturer-issued warranty through our certified status.
GAF EverGuard Extreme TPO
GAF's premium TPO membrane — reinforced with 3-ply fiberglass scrim for puncture and tear resistance. Available in 45, 60, and 80 mil. ENERGY STAR qualified in white. Seam strength exceeds 375 lbs/in when heat-welded per spec.
Manufacturer Profile
Why we specify GAF
GAF is North America's largest roofing manufacturer and the single most recognized brand in commercial roofing. The Master Elite designation is awarded to fewer than 2% of GAF-certified roofing contractors and requires rigorous training, licensing verification, insurance review, and customer satisfaction standards. Master Elite contractors are the only category permitted to offer GAF's 30-year Golden Pledge NDL warranty — the most comprehensive commercial roofing coverage available from any manufacturer.
Our Master Elite certification covers GAF's full commercial systems portfolio: EverGuard TPO and EPDM membranes, Ruberoid APP and SBS modified bitumen systems, and GAF commercial coating systems. This breadth lets us specify the right GAF system for each substrate and application, backed by manufacturer warranty coverage that protects the building owner — not just the contractor.

Honest Comparison
When to specify GAF vs. alternatives
GAF is the default specification for building owners who need brand-name validation and the deepest warranty coverage. The 30-yr NDL Golden Pledge is the most comprehensive warranty in commercial roofing. The trade-off vs. Gaco is that GAF membrane warranties require ballasted or adhered systems — GAF coating warranties are available on restoration projects, but ponding water coverage depends on the specific system specified.
Common questions
about GAF.
Technical questions we field before every assessment on this system.
01What is a GAF Master Elite contractor and how does it differ from certified?
Master Elite is GAF's top tier — fewer than 2% qualify. Only Master Elite contractors can offer GAF's 30-year Golden Pledge NDL warranty.
02What does GAF's Golden Pledge 30-year NDL warranty cover?
Golden Pledge covers both materials and labor with no dollar limit for 30 years. It requires annual inspections by a GAF-certified inspector and is transferable to a new building owner — a significant property value enhancement.
03Can an existing GAF TPO or EPDM roof be restored under a new GAF warranty?
Yes. GAF's WeatherSeal silicone coating system, installed by a Master Elite contractor on a qualifying GAF membrane, can reset the warranty clock. We evaluate eligibility during the free assessment.
04Does GAF's commercial warranty cover ponding water on flat roofs?
Standard GAF membrane warranties exclude chronic ponding water (water standing more than 48 hours). The WeatherSeal silicone restoration system does carry ponding water coverage when installed per specification.
05How does GAF's Master Elite program benefit me as a building owner?
It guarantees the contractor has been independently vetted by GAF for licensing, insurance, training, and customer satisfaction — reducing the risk of substandard installation that voids the warranty.
