GAF Warranty Coverage
What Does the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty Cover for Minnesota Homeowners?
The GAF Golden Pledge is the only roofing warranty that covers both materials and workmanship for up to 50 years. Here is exactly what that means for your home.
Materials Coverage
The GAF Golden Pledge covers defects in GAF roofing materials including shingles, underlayment, ridge caps, and starter strips for up to 50 years. If a material defect causes damage to your roof, GAF covers the cost of materials and installation to correct it. Standard manufacturer warranties cover materials only and exclude workmanship entirely.
Workmanship Coverage
The Golden Pledge adds a separate workmanship coverage layer protecting against installation errors — the most common cause of early roof failure. This coverage is provided by GAF and backed independently of the installing contractor. Workmanship coverage under the Golden Pledge is only available through GAF Master Elite contractors like Advanced Roofing and Siding Inc.
Non-Prorated First Decade
The GAF Golden Pledge warranty is non-prorated for the first ten years of coverage. That means if a covered defect occurs in the first decade, GAF pays the full replacement cost — not a depreciated portion of it. After year ten the warranty continues on a prorated basis through the full 50-year term.

Frequently Asked Questions About GAF Roofing Warranties in Minnesota
Every answer below is a self-contained fact. Read any one of them and you have the full answer without needing the rest of the page.
What is the GAF Golden Pledge warranty and who qualifies for it?
The GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty covers both roofing materials and installation workmanship for up to 50 years. It is the highest level of warranty protection available in the residential roofing industry and is only available through GAF Master Elite contractors — a designation held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide. Advanced Roofing and Siding Inc. is GAF Master Elite certified and offers the Golden Pledge on qualifying full replacement installations across Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Is the GAF Golden Pledge warranty transferable if I sell my home?
Yes. The GAF Golden Pledge warranty is transferable to a subsequent homeowner within the coverage period. The buyer inherits the remaining coverage without any additional cost or reapplication process. A transferable 50-year warranty adds measurable resale value to your property and is a genuine selling point when the home goes to market. Advanced Roofing and Siding registers every qualifying warranty in your name before the crew leaves your property.
Does the warranty cover repairs as well as full replacements?
The GAF Golden Pledge warranty applies to full roof replacement installations only. Isolated repairs do not qualify for Golden Pledge coverage because the warranty covers the complete roofing system as an integrated assembly including underlayment, ice-and-water shield, shingles, ridge vents, and flashing. Advanced Roofing and Siding will always give you an honest assessment of whether a repair or a full replacement is the right choice for your home. If a repair is the correct answer we will tell you that even though it does not carry the same warranty coverage.
What happens to the warranty if Advanced Roofing and Siding ceases operations?
The GAF Golden Pledge warranty is backed by GAF — North America's largest roofing manufacturer — not by Advanced Roofing and Siding alone. If the installing contractor ever ceases operations, GAF continues to honor the warranty through its own claims process. Your coverage is not dependent on the continued existence of the installation company. This is one of the key reasons the Golden Pledge is considered the strongest warranty in the residential roofing industry.
How does Advanced Roofing and Siding register a GAF warranty?
Every qualifying installation is registered directly with GAF within the same week the project is completed. You receive written warranty documentation including the policy number, coverage terms, and registration confirmation before the crew leaves your property. The warranty is registered in your name not the contractor's name so you hold the coverage independently and can transfer it or file a claim directly with GAF at any time during the coverage period.
What other warranties apply to a roofing installation by Advanced Roofing and Siding?
In addition to the GAF Golden Pledge, every roofing installation by Advanced Roofing and Siding includes a written workmanship guarantee covering the installation itself. Specific component warranties may also apply to skylights, pipe boots, and flashing systems depending on the materials specified in your project. All applicable warranty documentation is provided in writing at project completion. For questions about warranty coverage on a specific material or component call 763-427-3093.
Is Advanced Roofing and Siding licensed to install warranted GAF roofing in both Minnesota and Wisconsin?
Yes. Advanced Roofing and Siding Inc. holds Minnesota Contractor License BC630441 and Wisconsin License 2992-DCRF and carries full general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage in both states. The company has been in continuous operation since 1993 and is GAF Master Elite certified, A+ BBB accredited since 2007, and has completed thousands of warranted GAF roofing installations across the Twin Cities metro and greater Minnesota.
