GAF Master Elite
The past article, we talked about the history of the company GAF and how they came to become one of the largest manufacturers for roofing materials in North America. GAF has numerous certifications that roofing companies can get to show that they will do an awesome job on your roof. One of the jargon terms that a consumer will at times see when it comes to roofing will be Master Elite roofer. What exactly does this mean?
Master Elite roofers are very difficult to find and only a small minority of roofers will achieve this status. Estimates put Master Elite roofers at around 1 to 2 percent out of all the roofers working today. What does this mean? If you can find a company that is rated at Master Elite status, that is huge. GAF makes sure that when you are certified through them as a master, it is difficult and a very rigorous process.
Requirements
The company must first have a minimum of seven years in the industry and that also includes 1 year in a certified program as well. There has to be customer satisfaction at 99% per surveys that go out to customers from GAF. Can you imagine if your employer contacted 100 customers that worked with you and you could say that 99 percent were happy with your service? That would be difficult for anybody to achieve! GAF wants to make sure that the overwhelming amount of customers for a roofer would recommend them on to friends before they give the designation of Master to a company.
In terms of liability coverage, the roofing company must have at least one million in general liability coverage along with workers compensation through the insurance company. The rating with the Better Business Bureau must be acceptable along with a good or better credit rating. When GAF looks at your financials, they will make sure everything is in good standing so that means all of your suppliers are paid on time and happy with the business relationship. Of course the company can’t have any liens or unpaid debts that are going to pop up later. When you are branded a master in roofing, the company must have a good handle on things in every aspect of the business.
All of this may seem like a lot of things to cover, but in the end, when GAF keeps the requirement so high for a company to get the coveted rating of Master, it lets consumers know if they are getting the best service possible.
