GAF Roof Warranty in Texas: What Homeowners Get with Walton Roofing
Your roof is a major investment. A strong warranty helps protect it—and your budget—over time. In this guide, you’ll learn how a GAF roof warranty works in Texas, what coverage looks like, and why choosing a GAF Master Elite® contractor makes a real difference.
What Is a GAF Roof Warranty?
GAF offers tiered warranties for residential roofing systems. Coverage ranges from basic product protection to enhanced options that include workmanship. Only certified contractors can offer the higher-tier warranties.
Types of GAF Warranties (Plain-English Breakdown)
- System Plus Limited Warranty: Upgraded material coverage when you install a qualifying GAF roofing system with required accessories.
- Silver Pledge™ Limited Warranty: Material coverage plus workmanship coverage when installed by eligible certified contractors.
- Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty: GAF’s highest level of protection, including robust workmanship coverage (up to 30 years) when installed by a Master Elite® contractor.
Why Master Elite® Matters
Fewer than 2% of roofing contractors earn GAF Master Elite® status. Master Elite® contractors are the only ones who can offer all enhanced GAF warranties—including the Golden Pledge®. Walton Roofing is proud to hold this certification.
What’s Typically Covered—and for How Long?
- Lifetime limited coverage on qualifying GAF shingles and eligible accessories when your roof is built as a complete GAF system (shingles + at least three qualifying accessories). “Lifetime” applies to owner-occupied, single-family homes per GAF’s terms.
- Workmanship coverage on enhanced warranties like Silver Pledge™ and Golden Pledge®—the latter offers up to 30 years of workmanship protection.
Note: Exact terms vary by product, home type, and warranty tier. Always review current GAF documents before final decisions.
Texas Home Scenarios: How a GAF Warranty Helps
Hail & High Heat
Texas hail and heat can stress shingles and flashings. Enhanced warranties help protect your system against defects and covered workmanship issues, giving you extra peace of mind after severe weather.
Wind-Driven Rain
When storms push water into valleys, step flashing, and penetrations, workmanship coverage on enhanced warranties can be crucial—especially on complex roofs.
Registration & Paperwork—Made Easy
GAF base warranties don’t require registration to be valid, but you can choose to register your shingles and accessories. Our team can guide you through the process and paperwork during your install.
Repair or Replace? How to Choose
Not every roof needs replacing. Start with a professional inspection. If localized issues are found, our roof repair team can fix leaks, replace missing shingles, and extend your roof’s life. When age, storm damage, or widespread wear make replacement smarter, our roof replacement crews deliver clean, efficient projects—often in just one day.*
