What You Get

Coverage on the materials and on the work

Every roof we install carries two separate protections. The materials are covered by the manufacturer’s own warranty, and the installation is covered by our workmanship warranty. You get both in writing at the final walkthrough.

Manufacturer warranty

Covers the roofing materials themselves, and is issued and honored by the manufacturer. The terms depend on the product line and the manufacturer can change them, so the current version always lives on the manufacturer’s own site.

Installation workmanship warranty

Covers our work: how the roof was put on. If something we installed is not right, we come back and put it right.

Want your paperwork, or a copy of the manufacturer terms before you decide? Get in touch and we will send it over.

Shingle Roofs

What GAF Certified means for your shingle roof

GAF lets only certified contractors offer its enhanced warranties, and the certification a contractor holds decides which ones they can write. Roof Works is GAF Certified, which covers the System Plus Limited Warranty on qualifying shingle roofs. Plenty of roofers are not certified to offer it at all.

GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty

The baseline. Put GAF Lifetime Shingles on with at least three qualifying GAF accessories and this one applies on its own. Its Smart Choice Protection Period runs 10 years, which is the window where an approved manufacturing defect claim covers replacement materials and the labor to install them.

System Plus Limited Warranty

The step up, and the one our certification lets us register for you. It stretches that Smart Choice Protection Period from 10 years to 50, and tear off and disposal of the old roof are included. After the period ends, labor is no longer covered and the material credit is reduced to reflect the use you have had.

System Plus needs a qualifying GAF system and has to be registered with GAF once the work is done, so ask us whether your roof qualifies before you count on it. Coverage, terms and restrictions vary by warranty and by the products installed, and GAF can change them. You can compare the full ladder on GAF’s residential warranty comparison guide.

The Documents

The warranty documents

Two documents sit behind the coverage above. The GAF comparison guide sets out what System Plus includes on shingle roofs. The EverGuard® specimen is a different product family: it covers TPO and PVC membrane roofs, so it applies only if your roof is a membrane roof. Whichever applies, your own warranty is the one registered for your roof and your products, and GAF notes that its terms are subject to change and that the current version is always at gaf.com.
