As a GAF Certified Plus™ contractor, All Around Construction Contractors can offer roofing systems backed by some of the strongest manufacturer warranties available today. The information shown here outlines the different levels of GAF limited warranties, how they work, and what homeowners can expect depending on the materials and installation.
Because this content is provided directly by GAF, we’ve included a clear breakdown below to help you understand what it means for your home.
What Makes GAF Roofing Warranties Different
Not all roofing warranties are the same. Many standard warranties only cover manufacturing defects in shingles. GAF goes further by offering complete roofing system warranties, which can include:
- Coverage on shingles and all qualifying roofing components
- Protection against manufacturing defects
- Coverage for installation labor in certain warranties
- Extended protection periods depending on the system installed
The level of coverage depends on how the roof is installed and which products are used together as part of a complete system

Types of GAF Warranties
GAF offers several tiers of warranty protection. Each level adds more coverage and longer protection periods.
1. GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty
This is the standard warranty that comes with GAF shingles. It covers manufacturing defects but does not include full system or workmanship coverage.
2. GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty
This warranty expands coverage to include the entire roofing system when multiple qualifying GAF components are installed together.
3. System Plus Limited Warranty
This level includes extended coverage for both materials and installation when installed by a certified contractor.
4. Silver Pledge™ Limited Warranty
This is one of the strongest options available through a Certified Plus contractor, offering extended coverage periods and added protection that includes workmanship backed by GAF
Why Installation Matters
One of the most important details many homeowners miss is that warranty coverage depends heavily on how the roof is installed.
To qualify for enhanced warranties:
- A full roofing system must be installed (not just shingles)
- Specific combinations of accessories are required
- The work must be completed by a GAF Certified contractor
This is where working with a qualified contractor makes a real difference. Enhanced warranties are only available when installation meets strict manufacturer standards
Coverage Periods and Protection
Many GAF roofing systems include what’s called an “up-front coverage period”, where both materials and labor are covered at 100%.
Depending on the warranty level, this can range from:
- 10 years on standard systems
- Up to 50 years on enhanced warranties
Some warranties also include coverage for installation errors, which adds another layer of protection for homeowners
Wind and Weather Protection
Roofs installed with qualifying GAF shingles and accessories can include strong wind protection.
- Standard systems can be rated up to 130 mph winds
- Certain GAF shingles with LayerLock™ technology may qualify for WINDPROVEN™ coverage with no maximum wind speed limit when installed correctly
- This is especially important for homes in coastal New Jersey, where strong storms and high winds are common.
Algae Protection
Many GAF shingles also include protection against algae growth, which can cause dark streaks on roofs over time.
- Coverage ranges from 20 to 30 years, depending on the product
- Certified contractors can offer extended non-prorated protection periods
This helps maintain the appearance of your roof over the long term
What This Means for Your Home
Choosing a roofing system backed by a GAF warranty means you’re not just getting shingles — you’re getting a complete system designed to work together.
With proper installation, homeowners can benefit from:
- Long-term protection against defects and weather
- Coverage on both materials and labor (with enhanced warranties)
- Strong wind resistance for coastal conditions
- Added peace of mind knowing the system is backed by a major manufacturer
