GAF Certified Contractor in Cleveland, OH
Pring Roofing is a GAF Certified Contractor — annually verified by GAF for proper licensing, insurance, reputation, and installation quality. Our certification authorizes us to offer GAF's enhanced warranty programs, including the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty with lifetime materials and up to 30 years of labor coverage.
What GAF Certification Means for You
GAF certification is not self-reported — it requires annual verification by GAF directly. Pring Roofing must maintain proper licensing, insurance, a satisfactory BBB rating, positive customer reviews, and ongoing installation training to keep our certified status each year.
