Surprise,
Surprise...
Don’t Be Burned By The Risks
Think about the risks of choosing the wrong
roofing partner for your company:
• Budget Surprises... from unexpected roof
replacement
• Facility Damage & Downtime... from leaky
roofs that cannot be replaced due to lack
of budget
• Warranty Surprises... from expenses
that hit your budget because of “loopholes”
in your guarantee
• Embarrassment... having to ask for
unbudgeted funds due to unanticipated
roofing problems
“I wear so many hats
every day, I barely have
time to breathe. That’s
why I chose GAF as my
strategic roofing partner,
they give me the peace of
mind that my roofs are
in good hands.”

Custom-Tailored Roofing
Solutions For Superior
Return On Investment
And Less Hassles For You
Let’s face it. Some manufacturers
with a limited product line will try to
convince you that their roofing system
is a one-size-fits-all miracle solution.
At GAF, we know better. That’s why
we’ve developed one of the most
comprehensive product offerings in the
industry. With more options, you can
be certain of choosing the right roofing
system for each of your properties.
Ultimately, that means better performance
and superior return on your roofing
investment. As a GAF Strategic Accounts
Partner, you’ll have access to an
extensive portfolio of roofing solutions
for virtually any application:
• Industry-leading EverGuard® TPO
and PVC roofing systems, including
EverGuard® Extreme®, the industry’s
first TPO designed for thin film solar
installations, and EverGuard®
metal-look TPO at a fraction of
the cost of the real thing
• Tried-and-true asphaltic roofing
systems, including built-up roofing,
modified bitumen roofing, and
GAF composite roofing
• Coatings and sealants that can
restore tired and worn asphaltic,
metal, and single ply roofing systems
for up to 20 years—at a fraction of
the cost of a complete replacement
• GAF GardenScapes™ vegetative
roofing, which can save energy and
reduce rainwater run-off
• Plaza Deck systems, when you have
a roof that needs to be a walkway or
other people-bearing surface
• The industry’s most comprehensive
line of slate and asphaltic shingles,
for your properties with both low- and
steep-slope roofs
Why try to
force-fit a
single roofing
technology to
all of your
properties,
rather than
choosing the
best solution
for each
property?
“When you do your
homework, you find
out that not all NDL
guarantees are alike...
GAF really stands
apart from the rest!”

The Most Innovative
Guarantee Options—
For Your Ultimate Peace
Of Mind!
Yes, every roofing manufacturer offers
no-dollar-limit (NDL) guarantees. But are
those guarantees worth the paper they’re
printed on? As North America’s largest
roofing manufacturer, GAF’s commercial
guarantees are second to none in
protecting our customers’ investments.
• The Diamond Pledge™ Guarantee
with exclusive Edge-To-Edge™ coverage
goes beyond what standard roofing
warranties provide. If your commercial low
slope roof leaks from either installation or
material defects, the costs of repair are
completely covered—with no dollar limit.*
That includes custom-fit metal flashings,
roof penetrations like vents and drains, your
roof insulation, and more—items that are
excluded from many commercial roofing
guarantees. So there’ll be no surprises later.
And we now offer the industry’s longest
warranty (up to 35 years!) on our
EverGuard® Extreme® TPO!
•B
ecause we manufacture both low and
steep slope roofing, GAF developed
the All-American Pledge Guarantee.
It’s the industry’s first no-dollar-limit guarantee
for facilities that have both low- and steepslope roofs—one guarantee for all your
roofing needs. Less hassle for you and no
finger-pointing between manufacturers.
• EverGuard® TPO Puncture-Resistance Ltd
Warranty is the most inclusive warranty
of its type in the industry. Compare it to
anyone’s puncture warranty!
• The Well Roof™ Advantage is the
most innovative roofing protection and
maintenance program in the roofing
industry. When you agree to use a GAF
Master Select™ roofing contractor to perform
your regular maintenance, GAF will extend
your Diamond Pledge™ Guarantee by 25%!
It’s absolutely unique and helps you to
stretch your already stretched budget.
Not only do we offer the strongest warranties,
but all of our roof installations are inspected
by GAF’s factory-trained inspection force
(not salespeople).
*Diamond Pledge™ Guarantee for complete coverage
and restrictions.
“It wasn’t easy to become
a GAF Master Select ™
Contractor. The standards
are high, but so are
the rewards. Working
for some of the best
companies is one of them.”
