GAF Warranty Programs

Product Overview

When you invest in a new roof, the warranty behind it matters just as much as the shingles on top. GAF offers a tiered system of limited warranties — from the standard coverage that comes with every purchase, all the way up to the industry-leading Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty, which is only available through GAF Master Elite® contractors like Eagle's Landing General Contracting.

As a GAF Master Elite contractor serving Garland, Plano, Richardson, McKinney, Allen, Frisco, and the greater Dallas area, Eagle's Landing is authorized to offer every level of GAF warranty protection — including the most comprehensive workmanship and product coverage GAF provides. That means your roof isn't just backed by the shingles — it's backed by a contractor and a manufacturer working together to protect your investment for decades.

Included with installation — warranty tier depends on products selected and scope of roofing system.
System Plus — Homeowners who want significantly extended non-prorated protection beyond the standard warranty without additional workmanship coverage. Silver Pledge™ — Homeowners who want peace of mind against both product defects and installation errors, backed by 10 years of workmanship protection. Golden Pledge® — Homeowners seeking the absolute highest level of roofing protection available — the gold standard for long-term investment protection, storm-prone areas, or high-value properties.

GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty (Standard) The baseline coverage that comes automatically with every qualifying GAF shingle purchase. No registration required — just keep your proof of purchase. Covers manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the roof (as long as the original owner owns the home) with a 10-year Smart Choice® non-prorated protection period.

System Plus Limited Warranty Requires GAF shingles plus at least 3 qualifying accessory products, installed by a GAF Certified contractor or higher. Extends the Smart Choice® non-prorated period from 10 years to 50 years and adds tear-off coverage when necessary. Requires registration by your contractor.

Silver Pledge™ Limited Warranty Requires GAF shingles plus at least 4 qualifying accessory products, installed by a GAF Certified Plus or Master Elite contractor. Includes everything in System Plus, plus 10 years of workmanship coverage and disposal costs when necessary. Requires registration.

Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty GAF's highest residential warranty. Requires GAF shingles plus at least 5 qualifying accessory products, installed exclusively by a GAF Master Elite contractor — the top 3% of all roofers in the U.S. Includes everything in Silver Pledge, plus 25 years of workmanship coverage (30 years on Timberline UHDZ® shingles), disposal, and comprehensive protection for the full roofing system. Requires registration.

What Makes Timberline HDZ Different?

Unlike standard architectural shingles, Timberline HDZ features GAF’s exclusive LayerLock™ Technology—a revolutionary adhesive system that mechanically fuses shingle layers together during installation. This creates a bond so strong that it withstands extreme wind events that would tear lesser shingles apart. Combined with StainGuard Plus™ algae protection and impact-resistant construction, Timberline HDZ delivers performance that standard shingles simply cannot match.

For North Texas homeowners, this means peace of mind during severe weather season. When hail storms produce golf ball to softball-sized hail and winds exceed 100 mph, your roof becomes your first line of defense. Timberline HDZ’s Class 4 impact rating and 130 mph wind resistance provide the protection your home needs to weather the storm—literally.

As one of only 3% of roofing contractors nationwide to earn GAF Master Elite certification, Eagle’s Landing General Contracting delivers installation quality that unlocks the industry’s best warranty coverage. Our crews are factory-trained, our installations are documented with photo verification, and our workmanship is backed by decades of experience serving the North Texas community.

A copy of your deed or proof of sale will be required. Filing a Claim: Claims can be filed at gaf.com/claims, by calling 1-800-458-1860, or by emailing warrantyclaims@gaf.com. GAF's Warranty Claims Department is located at 1 Campus Drive, Parsippany, NJ 07054.

GAF enhanced warranties are tied directly to who installs your roof and what products are used — which makes the contractor selection as important as the warranty tier itself.

To qualify for each tier, Eagle's Landing installs:

  • System Plus — GAF Lifetime shingles + minimum 3 qualifying GAF accessory products
  • Silver Pledge™ — GAF Lifetime shingles + minimum 4 qualifying GAF accessory products
  • Golden Pledge® — GAF Lifetime shingles + minimum 5 qualifying GAF accessory products

As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, Eagle's Landing is certified to offer all three enhanced warranty tiers. During your consultation, we'll help you select the combination of shingles and accessory products that qualifies you for the coverage level you want — and we handle the warranty registration with GAF directly after installation is complete.

Why Choose GAF Warranty Programs

Eagle's Landing General Contracting is a GAF Master Elite® contractor, placing us in the top 3% of roofing contractors nationwide. That certification isn't just a badge — it's what makes you eligible for GAF's best warranty coverage. When Eagle's Landing installs your roof, you're not just getting quality materials and 30 years of experience. You're getting access to the strongest warranty protection GAF offers, registered and backed by a contractor GAF trusts.

FAQ

Does my GAF warranty need to be registered?

The standard GAF Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty requires no registration — just keep your proof of purchase. Enhanced warranties (System Plus, Silver Pledge™, and Golden Pledge®) do require registration, but Eagle's Landing handles that process for you after installation is complete. You should receive your warranty documentation within 60 days.

What does "Lifetime" mean in a GAF warranty?

"Lifetime" means the warranty covers you for as long as you — the original owner — own the home where the shingles are installed. For a second owner, coverage continues if the warranty was properly transferred during the Smart Choice® Protection Period. Note: for non-residential or commercial properties, "Lifetime" is defined as 40 years.

What is the Smart Choice® Protection Period?

This is the non-prorated phase of your warranty — the period during which GAF pays 100% of covered replacement costs without reducing for depreciation or time. After this period, settlements are prorated based on how long the shingles have been in service. Extended Smart Choice® periods (up to 50 years) are a major benefit of enhanced warranties.

What does workmanship coverage mean?

Workmanship coverage protects you if your roof develops a problem caused by an installation error — not just a manufacturing defect in the shingles themselves. Silver Pledge™ includes 10 years of workmanship coverage; Golden Pledge® provides 25 years (30 years on Timberline UHDZ®). Only GAF-certified contractors can offer this coverage.

Can I transfer my GAF warranty if I sell my home?

Yes. All GAF enhanced warranties are transferable to a second owner. To transfer, email ccp@gaf.com with your name, address, and property transfer date, along with proof of sale. Transferring during the Smart Choice® Protection Period gives the new owner the full remaining coverage.

What voids a GAF warranty?

Coverage is voided by conditions unrelated to manufacturing defects — including improper ventilation, damage from weather events, structural issues, or modifications made by non-certified contractors after installation. GAF also requires that adequate ventilation be installed at the time of roofing — Eagle's Landing addresses ventilation as part of every roofing system.

Which warranty tier should I choose?

It depends on your goals. If you want baseline protection, the standard warranty covers manufacturing defects for the life of the roof. If you want longer non-prorated coverage, System Plus is the step up. If installation workmanship matters to you — and it should — Silver Pledge™ or Golden Pledge® are the right choice. Golden Pledge® is ideal for homeowners who want the most complete protection available and are in high-wind or hail-prone areas like North Texas.
