If you've been researching Connecticut roofing contractors, you've probably seen the term "GAF Master Elite®" on some websites. But what does it actually mean — and does it matter for your roof replacement? The answer is: yes, significantly.
What Is GAF Master Elite® Certification?
GAF is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America. Their Master Elite® designation is held by fewer than 3% of all roofing contractors in North America. Requirements include:
- Minimum years of established roofing experience
- Full state licensing and insurance
- Demonstrated commitment to ongoing training
- Maintenance of a high customer satisfaction rating
- Ongoing compliance with GAF standards
