What it actually means that your roofer is in GAF’s top 3% — and why the warranty paperwork matters as much as the shingles.
Anyone can buy GAF shingles at a supply house. What can’t be bought is Master Elite® certification: it requires proven licensing and insurance, documented quality installs, ongoing factory training, and customer-review standards that wash out all but roughly 3% of contractors in North America. Baber Enterprises holds it — plus GAF President’s Club, an honor reserved for a fraction of Master Elite firms.
Why should a homeowner care? Warranties. Only Master Elite contractors can register GAF’s Golden Pledge® warranty — up to 50 years of material coverage plus 25 years of workmanship coverage backed by GAF itself, with a factory inspection of the finished roof. If a standard contractor’s workmanship fails, you chase the contractor. Under Golden Pledge, GAF stands behind the labor too.
We install the complete GAF system — Timberline HDZ® shingles, synthetic underlayments, StormGuard® leak barriers, Cobra® ridge ventilation, and matching ridge caps — because full-system installs are what those warranties require, and because components engineered together perform together.

No cost. No pressure. Just an honest assessment from your hometown roofing experts. Most inspections are scheduled within 48 hours.
