Understanding Composite Shingle Warranties:

Why Warranties Matter

Before we dive into the specifics, it’s essential to understand why warranties matter. A warranty not only safeguards your investment but also reflects the manufacturer’s confidence in their product. It offers you assurance that your roof will stand the test of time.

The GAF Advantage and Our Credentials:

Why GAF Stands Out

At Progressive Energy Solutions, we’re proud to be GAF certified. What does this mean for you? It means we’re held to the highest industry standards, practices and ethics ensuring your roofing project is in expert hands.

GAF System Plus Warranties

Our commitment to quality extends to the warranties we offer. We’re excited to present GAF System Plus warranties, and here’s why they’re the cream of the crop:

Comprehensive Coverage

With a GAF System Plus warranty, you’re not just protecting your shingles; you’re safeguarding your entire roofing system. It covers not only the materials but also the workmanship. We believe in the longevity and reliability of GAF products.

Transferable Warranty

GAF System Plus warranties are transferable to the next homeowner, adding tremendous value to your property. You can showcase your home’s quality when you decide to sell.

Extra Peace of Mind

One key aspect of GAF System Plus warranties that provides customers with extra peace of mind is the inclusion of non-prorated coverage. But what does “non-prorated” mean, and why is it important to you as a homeowner?

Understanding Prorated vs. Non-Prorated Warranties

  • Prorated Warranty: In a prorated warranty, the coverage decreases over time. This means that as the years pass, the warranty’s protection diminishes. So, if an issue arises with your roof after several years, the manufacturer might provide a reduced amount to address the problem. For example, if a roofing shingle has a 30-year warranty and a problem occurs after 15 years, a prorated warranty might cover significantly less than the original cost of replacement or repair.
  • Non-Prorated Warranty: In contrast, a non-prorated warranty, also known as a “full” or “bumper-to-bumper” warranty, provides the same level of coverage throughout its entire duration. If an issue arises with your roof within the warranty period, the manufacturer typically covers the full cost of replacement or repair, without any reduction in coverage due to the age of the shingles. This means you won’t have to bear a significant financial burden should you encounter a problem.

So, when we say that GAF System Plus warranties offer non-prorated coverage, we mean that you’ll have consistent, comprehensive protection for the entire duration of the warranty. It’s an extra layer of assurance that you won’t be left with unexpected expenses down the road, should your roof require attention.

This non-prorated feature reflects GAF’s commitment to standing behind their products and giving you peace of mind for years to come. It’s just one more reason why we stand by GAF as our top choice for roofing projects.

Tips for Choosing the Right Shingles for Your Project:

It’s Not Just About Warranties

While warranties are essential, we understand that other factors play a role in your decision. Your budget, local climate, and the aesthetics of your home are all important considerations. We’re here to help you find the perfect match for your roofing project.
