Mar 8, 2024 | Warranties | 0 comments

The GAF Golden Pledge and GAF Silver Pledge extended warranties are the two main warranties that Renaissance Roofing, Inc. offers in their roof proposals. Only Master Elite contractors such as Renaissance Roofing, Inc. can offer these warranties. A warranty is an extremely important aspect of a roof replacement. Having peace in mind knowing your roof is covered is something every homeowner should care about.

The GAF Golden Pledge Warranty is the best warranty offered by GAF, providing:

  • GAF shingles and accessories for lifetime non-prorated
  • Upfront coverage period of 50 years
  • Covers the entire roofing system
  • Cost of installation and labor is included for lifetime
  • 25/30 years of workmanship coverage (misapplication of shingles, accessories, and covered flashings backed by GAF)
  • Free transferable warranty one time within 20 years

The GAF Silver Pledge Limited Warranty is the 2nd best warranty that GAF offers, providing:

  • GAF shingles and accessories for lifetime non-prorated
  • Upfront coverage period of 50 years
  • Covers the entire roofing system
  • Cost of installation and labor is included for lifetime
  • 10 years of workmanship coverage (misapplication of shingles, accessories, and covered flashings backed by GAF)
  • Free transferable warranty one time within 20 years

The main difference between the two warranties is their workmanship coverage. Opting for the Golden Pledge over the Silver Pledge gives you 25/30 years of workmanship coverage for misapplication of shingles, misapplication of accessories, misapplication of covered flashings compared to the 10 year coverage the Silver Pledge warranty offers. See GAF warranty selection guide to learn more information about the warranty coverage.

Post-Installation Inspection & Warranty Registration

Question: What should I do after the roof is installed?

  • Walk the roof perimeter with your contractor (from ground level) for final review.
  • Request all warranty documentation (manufacturer and workmanship).
  • Register your warranty with the manufacturer (often the contractor does this on your behalf). Manufacturers like GAF highlight this as part of a proper system installation. GAF
  • Take photos of the new roof for insurance records.
  • Review maintenance instructions: cleaning gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and checking attic ventilation.
