GAF Certified Roofing with the System Plus Warranty
As a residential exterior contractor, we focus on doing roofing the right way the first time. While siding is our specialty, roofing is a natural extension of what we do because the roof and siding systems work together to shield your home from water intrusion, wind, and temperature extremes. Achieving GAF Certified status required us to meet rigorous standards for installation quality, business reputation, insurance, and licensing.
What the System Plus Warranty Actually Covers
The GAF System Plus Warranty is a layered coverage package that goes well beyond a standard shingle manufacturer warranty. Rather than just covering the shingles themselves, it covers the entire GAF roofing system when installed by a certified contractor like us. This includes the shingles, the underlayment, the leak barriers, the ridge cap shingles, the starter strip shingles, and the attic ventilation components when they’re all part of the GAF product family.
Coverage highlights include:
- 50-year non-prorated material defect coverage protecting against manufacturing defects in the shingles for a full half century
- 10-year workmanship coverage backed by GAF directly, not just by the contractor, which is uncommon in the roofing industry
- Misapplication protection meaning if an installation error is discovered, the warranty still responds
- Transferability within the first portion of the warranty period, which can boost the resale value of your home
- Wind coverage up to 130 mph when qualifying accessories are installed correctly
Our Installation Methodology
Every roofing project we undertake follows the same disciplined approach. It begins with a free on-site estimate where we measure your roof, examine the existing decking condition, check ventilation, and discuss the visual and performance options with you. We provide a transparent written proposal that outlines exactly which GAF products will be used, from the leak barriers in the valleys to the ridge cap on the peaks.
On installation day, our certified installers strip the existing roofing down to the deck so we can inspect for soft spots, rot, or fastener failures. Any compromised decking is replaced before we move forward. We then install a high-quality synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in the vulnerable areas, starter strips along the eaves and rakes, and finally the architectural shingles themselves. Proper nailing patterns, ventilation balance, and flashing details are non-negotiable parts of our process because skipping any one of them can void the System Plus Warranty and shorten the life of the roof.
Why Certified Installers Matter
Our installers are certified in every material that we use, and this is especially important for roofing. A GAF roofing system installed by an uncertified crew may look identical on day one to one installed by a certified team, but the differences become apparent over years of seasonal cycles. Improper nail placement, inadequate ventilation, mismatched accessory products, and shortcut flashing details all lead to premature failure.
Because we treat your home like our own, we don’t cut corners that the eye can’t see. We document our work, communicate proactively about scheduling and progress, and leave the job site clean. We stand by what we offer and we believe that the GAF System Plus Warranty is a tangible expression of that commitment.
Financing Options for Your New Roof
A new roof is a significant investment, and we want to make it accessible. We offer financing programs that include same as cash options, deferred payment options, and full replacement plans starting at $99 per month. This flexibility allows homeowners across Ashland, Hanover, Glen Allen, Laurel, VA, and the Greater Richmond Area to address their roofing needs on a schedule that works for their budget rather than waiting until a small problem becomes a big one.
