GAF Master Elite® Roofing Contractor in Southeast Tennessee
Choosing the right roofing contractor is just as important as choosing the right roofing materials. Steve’s Roofing Company is a GAF Master Elite® roofing contractor serving Decatur and communities throughout Southeast Tennessee.
Our Master Elite® status allows us to provide qualifying GAF roofing systems with access to some of GAF’s strongest residential warranty protection, including the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty. For qualifying GAF roofing systems, Steve’s Roofing Company includes the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty in the price of the full roof replacement rather than offering it later as a paid warranty upgrade.
What Does GAF Master Elite® Mean?
GAF Master Elite® certification is reserved for roofing contractors who meet GAF’s requirements for licensing, insurance, reputation, and ongoing professional training.
For homeowners, that matters because it helps ensure you’re working with a contractor who meets established manufacturer standards and is authorized to offer GAF’s strongest residential warranty options.
As a GAF Master Elite® contractor, Steve’s Roofing can provide:
✓ Access to GAF’s strongest residential warranty protection
✓ Installation of complete GAF roofing systems
✓ Manufacturer-backed workmanship coverage through eligible warranty programs
✓ Roofing work performed to GAF installation requirements
✓ A local contractor backed by one of the largest roofing manufacturers in North America
For homeowners, Master Elite® status means more than a badge—it means added confidence in both the contractor and the roofing system being installed.
What Does the GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty Cover?
The GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty provides enhanced protection for qualifying GAF roofing systems and includes coverage that goes beyond a standard manufacturer’s material warranty.
Golden Pledge® protection includes:
✓ 50-year non-prorated coverage period for manufacturing defects on qualifying GAF shingles and roofing system components
✓ GAF-backed workmanship coverage for qualifying installation errors during the applicable workmanship coverage period
✓ Coverage for certain flashing installation errors when the flashing is installed as part of the covered roofing system
✓ Tear-off costs when necessary to complete a covered warranty repair
✓ Disposal costs associated with covered warranty work
✓ Warranty protection backed by GAF, not solely by the roofing contractor
The exact coverage, duration, eligibility requirements, exclusions, and limitations depend on the GAF products installed and the terms of the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty.
Golden Pledge® Protection Is Included With Qualifying GAF Roof Replacements
At Steve’s Roofing Company, the GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty isn’t an optional upgrade we try to sell after giving you a roofing price. We include it in the price of every full roof replacement.
We believe homeowners should receive strong warranty protection when investing in a complete new roofing system. By including Golden Pledge® protection from the beginning, you can evaluate our roof replacement proposal knowing that this enhanced GAF warranty protection is already part of what you’re receiving.
No separate warranty upsell. No surprise upgrade charge. For qualifying GAF roofing systems, Golden Pledge® protection is included in our roof replacement price.
Why GAF-Backed Workmanship Coverage Matters
A roofing warranty is only as valuable as the protection behind it. Many roofing warranties cover manufacturing defects in the roofing materials but provide limited—or separate—protection when a problem results from installation.
The GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty is different because it includes GAF-backed workmanship coverage for qualifying installation errors during the applicable coverage period.
That means eligible workmanship claims are backed by GAF, not solely by the roofing contractor who originally installed the roof.
Why that matters to homeowners:
✓ Protection extends beyond manufacturing defects in the roofing materials
✓ Qualifying installation errors are covered under the warranty terms
✓ Certain covered flashing installation errors are included
✓ GAF backs eligible workmanship claims during the applicable coverage period
✓ Tear-off and disposal costs are included when required for covered warranty work
For a homeowner making a major investment in a new roof, that additional layer of manufacturer-backed protection can provide valuable long-term peace of mind.
A Complete GAF Roofing System
A quality roof replacement involves more than installing new shingles. The components of the roofing system work together to help protect your home from water, weather, heat, and moisture.
Depending on the design and requirements of your home, a complete GAF roofing system can include:
✓ Leak barrier — additional protection in vulnerable areas of the roof
✓ Roof deck protection — underlayment installed between the roof decking and shingles
✓ Starter strip shingles — designed to help protect the roof edges and properly secure the first course of shingles
✓ GAF shingles — the primary weather-shedding surface of the roofing system
✓ Attic ventilation — helps manage heat and moisture when properly designed for the home
✓ Ridge cap shingles — designed to protect and finish the roof’s hips and ridges
Steve’s Roofing Company evaluates the roof and installs the components appropriate for the home and roofing system rather than treating a roof replacement as simply removing old shingles and putting new ones down.
The result is a complete roofing system designed to work together—and backed by the warranty protection that comes with your qualifying GAF installation.

What to Expect When Steve’s Roofing Replaces Your Roof
A quality roofing system is about more than the shingles you see from the ground. From the initial evaluation through final cleanup and warranty registration, we take a complete-system approach to every full roof replacement.
1. Roof Evaluation & Estimate
We evaluate the existing roofing system, discuss what we find, and provide a clear estimate for the recommended work.
2. Roofing System & Material Selection
We’ll help you understand the GAF roofing system being installed and select the shingle style and color that works for your home.
3. Removal & Roof Preparation
The existing roofing materials are removed so the underlying roof deck can be evaluated and properly prepared for the new roofing system.
4. Complete GAF Roofing System Installation
We install the appropriate GAF roofing components as part of a complete system—not simply a new layer of shingles.
5. Property Protection & Cleanup
We take care to protect your property during the project and thoroughly clean the work area when installation is complete.
6. Golden Pledge® Warranty
For qualifying GAF roofing systems, the GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty is included in our roof replacement price, subject to GAF’s applicable eligibility requirements, coverage terms, limitations, exclusions, and warranty registration requirements.
