When you install a qualifying GAF shingle, the basic GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty provides a Lifetime limited warranty term for the shingles. And when you install a qualifying GAF shingle with at least 3 qualifying accessory products, you are automatically covered by the GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty*, which also provides Lifetime coverage for your qualifying accessory products!
“Lifetime” means as long as the original owner(s) [or the second owner(s) in certain circumstances] owns the single family detached residence where the shingles and qualifying accessories are installed.
The Lifetime warranty term also comes with 10 years of 100% coverage, during which GAF will provide replacement GAF products necessary to repair your roof due to a manufacturing defect. GAF will also pay the reasonable cost to install them*. This limited warranty is also transferable, once, to the next homeowner, for free.
With the GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty* or the GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty, after the first 10 years, labor is no longer included and the replacement material will be prorated.
- See GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty*, GAF Roofing System Limited Warranty, and Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions. See gaf.com/LRS for a list of qualifying shingles and accessory products.
- The word ‘Lifetime’ refers to the length of coverage provided by the GAF Shingle and Accessory Ltd. Warranty, and means as long as the original individual owner(s) of a single-family detached residence [or the second owner(s) in certain circumstances] owns the property where the shingles and accessories are installed. For owners/structures not meeting the above criteria, Lifetime coverage is not applicable. Lifetime Ltd. warranty on accessories requires the use of at least three qualifying GAF accessories and the use of Lifetime Shingles.
- **Coverage for 3-Tab Shingles includes 25- or 30-year warranty term and 5-year 100% coverage period.

To be eligible for the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty, you MUST fulfill these requirements:
- You MUST install a full roof; roofs installed on portions of buildings (such as half a roof on a duplex structure) do not qualify.
- Your roof MUST be installed by a GAF Master Elite® Roofing Contractor.
- The roof system must NOT be installed over an existing roof – all existing materials must be removed to the deck.
- You MUST use GAF Roof Deck Protection (visit gaf.com/LRS for eligible products).
- You MUST use GAF Leak Barrier in valleys and around dormers, side walls, firewalls, chimneys, plumbing vents, and skylights (visit gaf.com/LRS for eligible products). In the North, an eligible Leak Barrier product must also be used on all eaves to at least 24” (60.96 cm) inside of the warm wall.
- You MUST use GAF pre-cut Starter Strip Shingles (only those with factory-applied adhesive) at the eaves.
- You MUST use a GAF Attic Ventilation Product installed in a properly balanced attic ventilation system consisting of both intake and exhaust ventilation.
- You MUST use eligible GAF Roofing Shingles.
- You MUST use GAF Ridge Cap Shingles or shingles that correspond to the shingle product you are installing.
{insert chart} - For maximum weather protection, the use of GAF Master Flow™ Pivot™ Pipe Boot Flashing is highly recommended (but not required).
- New metal flashing(s) MUST be installed unless existing flashing(s) are in like-new condition. Metal drip edge MUST be used at eaves and is recommended (but not required) at rake edges.
In addition to the requirements listed above, your Contractor must register and pay for a warranty within 45 days after installation. If your Contractor has not registered your warranty within 45 days, GAF reserves the right not to issue your Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty.
Note: GAF reserves the right to withhold the warranty if the roof has not been installed according to GAF published application instructions.
