Every GAF shingle comes with a standard GAF warranty. System Plus is the upgrade, and GAF only offers it through contractors it has certified. Under One Roof is GAF Certified, contractor #1155323, based on Rosser Road in Farmers Branch.
Here's what System Plus adds, in GAF's own terms:
System Plus, per GAF
- Your GAF shingles and qualifying GAF accessories are covered together, as one roofing system
- Coverage on manufacturing defects stays non-prorated for 50 years. GAF's standard system warranty is non-prorated for 10
- Tear-off and disposal are included when a covered defect means the roof has to come off
- It can be transferred one time if you sell the house
"Non-prorated" means GAF doesn't shrink the payout as the roof ages. On most warranties, the coverage drops a little every year after the first few. With System Plus, year 30 is covered the same as year 3.
What It Takes to Qualify
System Plus isn't automatic. GAF sets three conditions, and we check all three before you sign anything.
The three GAF requirements
- A GAF Lifetime shingle
- At least three qualifying GAF accessories. These include leak barrier, roof deck protection, starter strips, ridge cap shingles and attic ventilation
- A GAF Certified contractor who installs the roof and registers the warranty
We list the shingle and every qualifying accessory on your estimate. If your roof is one accessory short, we'll tell you which one and what it adds to the price.
What System Plus Doesn't Cover
GAF is clear about this, and you should be too. System Plus covers defects in GAF's products. It doesn't cover how the roof was installed.
Outside the GAF warranty
- Installation mistakes, such as a nail in the wrong spot or flashing that wasn't sealed
- Hail, wind and other storm damage. That's a homeowner's insurance matter
- Damage from foot traffic, tree limbs or work done by other trades
If a storm damages your roof, start with your insurance company. We inspect the roof, document the damage with photos and meet your adjuster on site. Planning a new roof? See our roof replacement process.
Our 5-Year Workmanship Warranty
GAF's warranty covers the products. Ours covers the work. Every new roof we install comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty from Under One Roof.
It covers problems that come from how we installed the roof, which is the part System Plus leaves out. If an installation problem shows up in those first 5 years, call us.
How Registration Works
You don't fill out GAF paperwork. We do.
From install to coverage
- Before the job, we confirm the shingle and accessories qualify and put them in writing on your estimate
- We install the roof to GAF's instructions
- After the job, we register System Plus with GAF in your name
- GAF sends you the warranty and registration
If you don't have your copy within 60 days of the install, GAF asks you to call them at 1-877-423-7663. Or call us and we'll chase it down.
If You Ever Need to Use It
Call us first. We'll come out, look at the roof and tell you whether it looks like a product defect or something else. If it's a GAF matter, you can open the claim at gaf.com/claims. We'll give you the proof of purchase and photos GAF asks for.
Selling the house? System Plus transfers one time. The new owner has to notify GAF in writing within one year of buying the home. GAF's transfer steps are on its warranty page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need all GAF products to get System Plus?
You need a GAF Lifetime shingle plus at least three qualifying GAF accessories, like leak barrier, roof deck protection, starter strips, ridge caps or attic ventilation.
Is the GAF System Plus warranty really 50 years?
For a single-family detached home owned by an individual, GAF covers manufacturing defects without prorating for 50 years. Other owners and buildings get different GAF terms. We'll show you yours before the job.
What happens to the warranty if I sell my house?
System Plus can be transferred one time. The new owner has to notify GAF in writing within one year of buying the home for the coverage to carry over.
Does the GAF warranty cover hail or storm damage?
No. GAF warranties cover manufacturing defects. Hail and wind damage is a homeowner's insurance matter. We inspect the roof, document the damage and meet your adjuster on site.
Does System Plus cover installation mistakes?
No. System Plus covers defects in GAF products, not how the roof was installed. That's why GAF only lets certified contractors register it, and why it matters who installs your roof. Our own 5-year workmanship warranty covers the installation on new roofs.
How do I file a GAF warranty claim?
Call us first and we'll check whether it looks like a product defect. If it does, you can open the claim at gaf.com/claims. We'll give you the proof of purchase and photos GAF asks for.
