Understanding GAF Roofing Warranties
GAF warranties are designed to provide homeowners peace of mind, assuring them that their investment is protected. The warranties cover various aspects of roofing systems, from manufacturing defects to workmanship errors, depending on the level of warranty coverage you choose.
Key Features of GAF Warranties
A notable feature of GAF warranties is the Lifetime warranty option, which is applicable as long as the original owner of a single-family detached residence owns the property. This coverage includes manufacturing defects on GAF shingles and specific accessories. It is important to note that for Lifetime coverage to apply, the installation must include GAF Lifetime shingles.
