Understanding GAF Certification and Its Importance

When you’re investing in a new roof, choosing the right materials and contractor makes all the difference in protecting your home for decades to come. At Best Solutions Roofing & Siding, we’ve earned our GAF certification, which represents one of the highest standards in the roofing industry. This certification isn’t just a badge – it’s a promise to our customers throughout Lewis County & Southern Thurston County, WA that we meet rigorous standards for installation quality, business practices, and customer service.

GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, only certifies contractors who demonstrate exceptional expertise and commitment to excellence. To achieve this status, we underwent comprehensive training programs, maintained proper licensing and insurance, and consistently delivered outstanding workmanship. This certification means we have direct access to GAF’s technical support, extended warranty options, and the latest product innovations, benefits we pass directly to our customers.

The GAF Master Elite Advantage

Our GAF certification opens doors to exclusive warranty programs that standard contractors simply cannot offer. The GAF System Plus Limited Warranty extends coverage beyond just shingles to include all GAF accessories, providing comprehensive protection for your entire roofing system. This integrated approach ensures that every component works together seamlessly, from the deck protection to the ridge caps, maximizing your roof’s lifespan and performance.

We also offer the GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty, which provides coverage for material defects for up to 50 years and workmanship coverage for up to 25 years. This exceptional warranty includes tear-off costs and disposal, giving homeowners peace of mind that their investment is fully protected. Only GAF certified contractors can offer these premium warranty options, making our partnership with GAF invaluable for property owners seeking long-term protection.

Premium GAF Roofing Systems We Install

Our expertise with GAF products extends across their entire lineup of advanced roofing systems. The Timberline HDZ shingles remain one of our most popular installations, featuring LayerLock technology that provides incredible wind resistance up to 130 mph. These architectural shingles combine durability with aesthetic appeal, offering homeowners the look of wood shakes without the maintenance requirements.

For customers seeking ultra-premium options, we install GAF’s Timberline UHDZ shingles, which provide even greater thickness and dimensional appearance. The Grand Sequoia and Camelot lines offer luxury options that dramatically enhance curb appeal while delivering decades of reliable protection. Each GAF shingle line includes advanced features like StainGuard Plus time-release technology that prevents ugly blue-green algae growth, keeping roofs looking newer longer.

Advanced GAF Technologies and Innovations

GAF continues to lead the industry in technological advancement, and we stay current with every innovation. Their Advanced Protection Technology combines multiple layers of materials to create roofing systems that withstand extreme weather conditions. The Dura Grip adhesive seals each shingle firmly, while the StrikeZone nailing area ensures proper installation every time.

We’re particularly excited about GAF’s commitment to sustainability. Their shingles now include recycled materials, and we participate in their shingle recycling program, diverting tons of materials from landfills annually. The cool roof technology in GAF’s reflective series helps reduce energy costs by reflecting solar heat, making homes more comfortable while lowering utility bills. These environmental benefits align perfectly with our commitment to responsible contracting practices.
