Choosing a Roofing Contractor? Take CARE

If you're like most homeowners, the biggest fear about selecting the right roofing contractor is knowing if they're really qualified to do the best job with the best materials available in today's market. You want to know the insurance you carry is going to cover your expenses. When it comes to roofing, cost is also a consideration, but it should be secondary to getting the best possible job by the most highly qualified contractor bidding on your roof project.

When it comes to roofing your home, the old saying, "penny wise and pound foolish" applies when selecting a contractor strictly based on cost. There are a lot of ways you can cut costs, but your roof system should not be one of them.

After all, it is your roof that protects everything you own, just ask anyone who has experienced a roof leaking onto his dining room table or living room couch. Remember, you probably don't drive the cheapest car, wear the cheapest clothes or watch the cheapest TV, so why would you hire the cheapest roofing contractor? GAF Elk's Master Elite roofing contractors are factory trained certified installers that are using the very best roofing products available on the market today. They take pride in having their crews annually trained in the best installation techniques offered by GAF Elk's CARE training professionals. CARE stands for the Center for Advancement of Roofing Excellence and is the only training facility of its kind in the industry.

Master Elite installers are the only contractors that can offer GAF Elk's Golden Pledge Warranty which gives the homeowner 15-50 years of coverage and 100% peace of mind coverage against all potential material defects as well as 15-20 year coverage and 100% peace of mind coverage against possible faulty installation and workmanship. This is possible because as part of your Golden Pledge Warranty, a factory certified inspector from GAF Elk comes to your home after every job is completed and does a 40 point inspection of your roof to make sure it was done to the manufactures specifications using the best materials available. Only after the Master Elite installation passes this rigorous inspection is the warranty released to the homeowner, thereby insuring that the roof materials and workmanship are done to the manufacturer's exacting standards.

When a job is completed, the homeowner enjoys a new roof that has been inspected and backed by a $3 billion company in business since 1886. So even if your contractor goes out of business you are covered 100% by the manufacturer.

That's value for your roofing dollar. So, if you are in the market for a new roof be sure to contact anyone of a number of qualified Master Elite Contractors in your area and inquire about the Golden Pledge Warranty; you will be glad you did. GAF Elk is North America's largest roofing manufacturer and is quality you can trust.
