As with any big investment, knowing in advance what your warranty covers could save you thousands in the event that problems arise with your roof.<\/p>\n<p><strong span=\"\" style=\"color: #014711;\"><em>What are the chances I will have a problem with my new GAF roof?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Based on GAF\u2019s state-of-the-art manufacturing process, the odds of having a problem with a new GAF roof are about 1 in 1000! On the other hand, while serious problems with GAF roofing materials are rare, if you were to have a problem, it can be as expensive to fix as your roof originally cost. So while the risk of having a problem is low, the cost if you do have a serious problem can be high.<\/p>\n<p><strong span=\"\" style=\"color: #014711;\"><em>What if there are problems with the roof\u2019s installation?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Studies indicate that more than two-thirds of the problems that people experience with their new roofs are due to the contractor\u2019s workmanship, not the roofing materials. That\u2019s why you should trust a GAF \u201cMasterElite\u201d certified contractor like DryTech Roofing with the installation.<\/p>\n<p><strong span=\"\" style=\"color: #014711;\"><em>What should I look for in a roofing warranty?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Basically, there are two types of coverage that you should ask your contractor about: coverage against material defects and coverage against workmanship errors. Make sure you get both in writing.<\/p>\n<p><strong span=\"\" style=\"color: #014711;\"><em>What does a materials GAF Warranties cover?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Almost all roofing products come with GAF Warranties against material defects, although your exact coverage will vary depending on the brand. For example, a typical shingle warranty will cover material defects for a period of 20, 30, 40 years or more. The warranty on the other components of your roofing system can vary from as little as a few months to several years. It is important to remember that coverage against material defects is provided by the manufacturer, so you should select a brand from a manufacturer who is financially strong and therefore more likely to be in business for as long as you own your roof, which could be several decades!<\/p>\n<p><strong span=\"\" style=\"color: #014711;\"><em>What is GAF\u2019s \u201cSmartChoice\u00ae Protection Period\u201d?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GAF\u2019s warranties come with a special provision called the Smart Choice\u00ae Protection Period that covers you against material defects during the critical early years of your new roof. During this period, in the event that you experience a material defect on covered components, GAF Warranties will provide you with 100% replacement materials and the reasonable cost of labor to install them. This is important because some roofing warranties may only provide replacement materials, but not the labor to install them.<\/p>\n<p><strong span=\"\" style=\"color: #014711;\"><em>What is the GAF Weather Stopper\u00ae System Plus Ltd.

Warranty provides coverage against material defects for all major GAF components on your roof (not just your shingles)\u2014so you\u2019ll have the peace of mind of knowing that, if any covered roofing component fails, it will be covered by the warranty (see ltd. warranty for complete coverage and restrictions). The warranty is available through GAF certified contractors, and is a low-cost way to get up to 50 years of non-prorated coverage (against material defects) on your new roofing system.<\/p>\n<p><strong span=\"\" style=\"color: #014711;\"><em>Does DryTech Roofing<\/em> <em>cover me against workmanship errors?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DryTech Roofing participates in the GAF <strong>Golden Pledge\u00ae Ltd.

As with any big investment, knowing in advance what your warranty covers could save you thousands in the event that problems arise with your roof.<\/p><p><strong><em>What are the chances I will have a problem with my new GAF roof?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Based on GAF\u2019s state-of-the-art manufacturing process, the odds of having a problem with a new GAF roof are about 1 in 1000! On the other hand, while serious problems with GAF roofing materials are rare, if you were to have a problem, it can be as expensive to fix as your roof originally cost. So while the risk of having a problem is low, the cost if you do have a serious problem can be high.<\/p><p><strong><em>What if there are problems with the roof\u2019s installation?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Studies indicate that more than two-thirds of the problems that people experience with their new roofs are due to the contractor\u2019s workmanship, not the roofing materials. That\u2019s why you should trust a GAF \u201cMasterElite\u201d certified contractor like DryTech Roofing with the installation.<\/p><p><strong><em>What should I look for in a roofing warranty?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Basically, there are two types of coverage that you should ask your contractor about: coverage against material defects and coverage against workmanship errors. Make sure you get both in writing.<\/p><p><strong><em>What does a materials warranty cover?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Almost all roofing products come with a warranty against material defects, although your exact coverage will vary depending on the brand. For example, a typical shingle warranty will cover material defects for a period of 20, 30, 40 years or more. The warranty on the other components of your roofing system can vary from as little as a few months to several years. It is important to remember that coverage against material defects is provided by the manufacturer, so you should select a brand from a manufacturer who is financially strong and therefore more likely to be in business for as long as you own your roof, which could be several decades!<\/p><p><strong><em>What is GAF\u2019s \u201cSmartChoice\u00ae Protection Period\u201d?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>GAF\u2019s warranties come with a special provision called the Smart Choice\u00ae Protection Period that covers you against material defects during the critical early years of your new roof. During this period, in the event that you experience a material defect on covered components, GAF will provide you with 100% replacement materials and the reasonable cost of labor to install them. This is important because some roofing warranties may only provide replacement materials, but not the labor to install them.<\/p><p><strong><em>What is the GAF Weather Stopper\u00ae System Plus Ltd. Warranty?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>The GAF Weather Stopper\u00ae System Plus Ltd. Warranty provides coverage against material defects for all major GAF components on your roof (not just your shingles)\u2014so you\u2019ll have the peace of mind of knowing that, if any covered roofing component fails, it will be covered by the warranty (see ltd. warranty for complete coverage and restrictions). The warranty is available through GAF certified contractors, and is a low-cost way to get up to 50 years of non-prorated coverage (against material defects) on your new roofing system.<\/p><p><strong><em>Does DryTech Roofing<\/em> <em>cover me against workmanship errors?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>DryTech Roofing participates in the GAF <strong>Golden Pledge\u00ae Ltd. Warranty<\/strong>, the first manufacturer\u2019s warranty to cover both material defects and the contractor\u2019s workmanship (see warranty for complete coverage and restrictions). GAF will stand behind our workmanship up to 20 years! The Golden Pledge\u00ae Ltd. Warranty is available only through GAF Master Elite\u2122 Contractors like DryTech Roofing, who are factory-certified by GAF. The warranty even includes an inspection by GAF\u2019s independent inspectors after your new roof has been completed to insure proper installation. It is the strongest, safest warranty available in roofing today. DryTech Roofing can provide a price for the warranty when we give you a quote for your new roof.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3837","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3837"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51924,"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3837\/revisions\/51924"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/drytechroofingcompany.com\/pleasant-hills-md\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
