The GAF Silver Pledge Limited Warranty: Why Homeowners Trust Kaczmar Builders with Their Roof
When it comes to replacing your roof, choosing the right materials — and the right contractor — makes all the difference. At Kaczmar Builders, we’re proud to provide homeowners with the GAF Silver Pledge™ Limited Warranty, one of the most trusted warranties in the roofing industry. Not every contractor can offer this protection, and that’s what sets us apart.
Let’s break down what this warranty means, why it matters for your home, and how our team ensures your roof is built to last with premium GAF materials and expert installation.
What Is the GAF Silver Pledge Limited Warranty?
The GAF Silver Pledge™ Limited Warranty offers 50 years of non-prorated coverage on your shingles and roofing system against manufacturing defects, plus 10 years of workmanship coverage backed by GAF — not just the contractor.
That means if something goes wrong due to a material or workmanship issue, your roof is protected by one of the largest roofing manufacturers in North America.
What Makes It Special:
50-year coverage on GAF shingles and accessories
10-year workmanship warranty backed by GAF
Fully transferable if you sell your home
Peace of mind knowing your roof was installed by a GAF Certified™ Contractor
Not every roofer can provide the Silver Pledge Warranty. Only select, factory-certified contractors like Kaczmar Builders meet GAF’s strict standards for training, installation quality, and customer satisfaction.
What’s Included in a GAF Roofing System from Kaczmar Builders
When you choose us for your roof replacement, we don’t just install shingles — we install a complete GAF roofing system designed to protect your home from top to bottom.
Here’s a look at the premium components we use and why they’re such an upgrade from standard roofing materials:
GAF FeltBuster® Synthetic Underlayment
What it is: A high-performance underlayment that goes beneath your shingles to provide a secondary layer of protection against moisture.
Why it’s better: Unlike traditional felt paper, GAF FeltBuster is tear-resistant, wrinkle-free, and breathable, allowing heat and moisture to escape while keeping your roof deck dry.
GAF Starter Strip Shingles
What it is: A pre-cut starter course designed to go along the eaves and rakes of your roof.
Why it’s better: Starter Strips help prevent shingle blow-offs by providing a strong adhesive seal. This is a crucial upgrade over hand-cut starter pieces, which can leave weak spots and uneven coverage.
GAF Snow Country® Ridge Vent
What it is: A sleek ridge vent that runs along the peak of your roof, allowing hot, moist air to escape from your attic.
Why it’s better: Proper ventilation is key to preventing mold growth, extending shingle life, and improving energy efficiency. The Snow Country Ridge Vent provides maximum airflow without compromising on weather protection.
GAF Seal-A-Ridge® Ridge Cap Shingles
What it is: The finishing touch on your roof that covers the ridge line for a clean, finished look.
Why it’s better: GAF’s ridge cap shingles are thicker and more durable than cut 3-tab shingles, offering extra protectionagainst leaks and wind uplift at one of the roof’s most vulnerable points.
