What percentage of roofing contractors are GAF Master Elite?

About 2% of roofing contractors in North America hold GAF Master Elite. In Horry and Georgetown counties, that filters down to a handful of companies. The roofer has to prove a track record, hold proper SC licensing, carry insurance, and keep clean BBB standing. You can verify any SC contractor at llr.sc.gov in under a minute. Each year brings required training hours and periodic GAF audits on completed jobs. The storm-chasers who flood the Myrtle Beach area after Helene or Idalia almost never hold it. Master Elite is also the only credential that unlocks the Golden Pledge, the warranty covering labor for 25 years.
