Does GAF master elite mean anything?

Yes, two things specifically. It's the top 2% of roofers nationally, and only a handful in Horry and Georgetown counties qualify. GAF requires verified licensing, insurance, BBB standing, satisfaction scores, annual training, and ongoing audits. Lose any of them and the credential goes. Second, only Master Elite contractors can install GAF's Golden Pledge warranty. Golden Pledge covers materials for 50 years and labor for 25. GAF backs the labor claim directly if the contractor closes its doors. Most roofing warranties cover one year of labor. Twenty-five is the difference between a brochure and a real backstop.
