The Roofing Certification That Makes a Difference
GAF Master Elite® certification isn’t simply a badge a roofing company can put on its website. It’s a designation GAF awards to less than 2% of roofing contractors that meet its standards for professionalism, licensing, insurance, reputation, and workmanship.
At AC Matthews, we’re proud to hold that certification because it reflects the standards we bring to every roofing project. More importantly, it can give you added confidence when you’re choosing us to work on your home.
What GAF Master Elite® Certification Means
Not every roofing contractor can become GAF Master Elite® certified. Contractors have to meet GAF’s eligibility requirements and demonstrate that they operate to established professional standards.
Those requirements include:
- Required state licensing
- Proven business track record
- Strong professional reputation
- Positive customer feedback and reviews
- Minimum $1 million in liability insurance
- Workers' compensation coverage
- Continued GAF training and testing
- Annual recertification
For you, that means you’re working with a roofing company that’s been evaluated by one of the country’s leading roofing manufacturers rather than simply taking a contractor’s word for its qualifications.
The Training Behind Our Roofing Work
A roof only performs as well as it’s installed. As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, we have access to ongoing training on GAF products, roofing systems, and installation practices so our team can stay current on how each component is designed to be installed.
That knowledge carries into the work we do on your home. From underlayment and flashing to shingles and ventilation, we understand how the different parts of the roofing system work together, helping us deliver a roof that’s installed correctly and built for long-term performance.
GAF Roofing Products We Install
We install GAF shingles because they’re known for quality, durability, and a wide range of styles and performance options. GAF also offers complete roofing systems and strong warranty choices, giving you more flexibility when selecting the right roof for your home.
Our team regularly installs:
- Timberline UHDZ®
- Timberline HDZ®
- Camelot® II
- And additional GAF shingle options
We’ll help you compare the available products and choose the right combination of appearance, performance, and value for your home.
The Golden Pledge® Warranty
Our GAF Master Elite® certification means we can offer the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty, GAF’s highest-tier warranty. It provides enhanced coverage for qualifying roofing materials and workmanship, giving you added protection beyond a standard manufacturer warranty.
When you work with AC Matthews, we’ll explain the available coverage before your project begins so you know what’s protected, how long the coverage lasts, and what applies to your specific roofing system.
Why Certification Matters When Choosing a Roofer
When you’re comparing roofing companies, you’ll want to look at licensing, insurance, experience, customer reviews, installation practices, and warranty options. GAF Master Elite® certification makes that evaluation easier by showing that a contractor has already met a defined set of requirements established by GAF.
It doesn’t tell you everything about a company, but it gives you a useful starting point for identifying contractors that have been reviewed for key qualifications and can offer certain GAF warranty options.
