Find a Certified Contractor near you
A local contractor certified by GAF can answer your questions about choosing a roof, and what to expect from the installation process. Contractors certified by GAF are trusted to offer our enhanced warranties.
Contractors enrolled in GAF certification programs are not employees or agents of GAF, and GAF does not control or otherwise supervise these independent businesses. Contractors may receive benefits, such as loyalty rewards points and discounts on marketing tools from GAF for participating in the program and offering GAF enhanced warranties, which require the use of a minimum amount of GAF products. Your dealings with a Contractor, and any services they provide to you, are subject to the Contractor Terms of Use.
