Certification FAQs
What does GAF Master Elite certification mean?
GAF Master Elite is the highest certification level offered by GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer. Only 3% of roofing contractors qualify. It requires proven installation excellence, customer satisfaction history, proper licensing and insurance, and ongoing factory training. This certification allows us to offer GAF's best warranties, including their Golden Pledge lifetime warranty.
How can I verify your contractor license?
Our South Carolina contractor license can be verified through the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation at LLR.SC.GOV. We're happy to provide our license number upon request. Verifying contractor licenses is an important step when choosing any roofing contractor.
Why does insurance matter for roofing?
Roofing work carries inherent risks. Without proper insurance, YOU could be liable for accidents on your property. Our comprehensive insurance includes general liability (protects your property) and workers' compensation (covers any worker injuries). We provide certificates of insurance upon request. Never hire uninsured contractors.
What warranties come with your certifications?
Our GAF Master Elite certification allows us to offer industry-best warranties: GAF's Golden Pledge warranty covers materials for 50 years and workmanship for 25 years. This is significantly better than standard manufacturer warranties available to non-certified contractors.
