Golden Pledge Warranty - Taking the risk out of roofing.
The GAF Golden Pledge Warranty is the best shingle roof warranty. Not only is it backed by GAF, North America's largest shingle manufacturer, it also back by the Good Housekeeping Seal. This means that if there are any defects in the materials backed with the Seal, they will be replaced by Good Housekeeping if for some reason GAF will not be able to replace them. So when you choose Schwartz Residential to install a Golden Pledge Roof you are hiring a 110+ year old roofing company, installing materials made by a 130+ year old company that is back by a company that is 130+ years old. This is the safest roofing choice you can make. No other residential roofing contractor in Macon, Warner Robins, Forsyth, or surrounding areas can offer you a Golden Pledge Roof Warranty. Because Schwartz Residential Roofing is the only GAF Master Elite contractor in Middle Georgia. We offer the Golden Pledge Warranty with all our proposals as the Premium Option. This warranty is transferable one time.
Silver Pledge Warranty- Adding Value to Your Roof
GAF's Silver Pledge Warranty covers the entire GAF Roof System, including the shingles, ridge vent, starter shingles, hip n ridge shingles and other GAF roof components that are installed on the roof. By opting for the Silver Pledge, the non-prorated period lasts for 50 years. This is unbelievable considering most shingle warranties start to decrease their coverage by prorating their shingles after 10 years. This warranty is transferable one time.
What does it mean to be a GAF Master Elite Contractor?
As a GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor, Schwartz Residential Roofing is a factor-certified installer of GAF shingles. To qualify as a Master Elite, roofing contractors must meet many requirements, such as a minimum level of insurance, have a proven reputation, and be committed to ongoing training. We are required to maintain a high customer satisfaction rating and training requirement every year to stay in the Master Elite program. Because of these stringent requirements, only 3% of residential roofing contractors in the United States have qualified for this status.
