Is Your Roofer GAF Master Elite? Here’s Why They Should Be
GAF is one of the oldest and most trusted manufacturers in the U.S. for roofing materials, but they also understand that quality roofing shingles are no good if you don’t match that with quality installation. That’s why they created the GAF Master Elite Certification—it’s an honor only awarded to the top 3 percent of all roofing contractors in Billings and around the U.S., so you know if you’re working with a Master Elite contractor, you’re getting the cream of the crop.
Why GAF Certification?
In the state of Montana, any construction contractor or subcontractor who hires employees is required to register with the Department of Labor and Industry, but this registration is essentially just to ensure that the company is complying with Montana worker’s compensation insurance regulations. While worker’s compensation insurance is important, GAF certification takes it several steps further to ensure that your Billings roofing contractor has the right experience and a track record of quality work.
What is GAF Certification?
GAF requires contractors to go through several different questions and evaluations in their screening process, with the end goal of making sure that anyone who gets their highest level of certification:
- Is properly licensed according to all state, city, and other municipal regulations
- Carries the right amount of insurance, including both worker’s compensation and general liability insurance, to protect against workers who get hurt on the job as well as property damage
- Has a solid reputation as a quality roofing contractor, according to independent surveys as well as reviews and complaints from organizations like the Better Business Bureau
- Is financially solvent and has a good banking and credit history (in which case they are probably less likely to take your money and never do the work)
- Trains employees continually on all the latest trends and techniques in the roofing industry for the most efficient installation processes
