Introduction: All Pro Xteriors stands out because we are part of the top 3% of all contractors in the USA who are Master Elite Certified to offer the most solid warranties.
Q. What makes a master elite contractor so good, and how is that different from a standard roofer or even a certified contractor?
A. We thought you would never ask! Master Elite contractors make up only 3% of the total roofers nationwide. The reason? it is hard to achieve! GAF verifies the following items before granting a company the master elite status.
minimum 7 years in business 1 year in their certified program
99% customer satisfaction based on independent surveys from GAF
1 million general liability coverage + proper and valid workers compensation
satisfactory rating with BBB
GOOD or better credit rating
clean banking record (no overdrafts, negative info)
clean distributor reference (means we pay our bills)
no leins, or judgements unresolved on record
good workmanship record
you can see why it is almost impossible for 97% of companies to achieve even these base requirements, but still the final test is a face to face meeting with the territory managers to doubly verify all information and personally check out our previous jobs and talk to some of our previous customers. It is a true partnership with GAF, and it is fantastic for you, us, and them. It is how business relationships should be!
Q. Is this an extended warranty?!
A. Technically no, Technically yes. It is a factory certified roof installation.
For example: If you buy a tv extended warranty and well within your warranty coverage your tv blows up. It turns out that your problem came from an electrical surge due to faulty home wiring and that is not covered by the warranty plan. guess who has to buy a new full price tv again? or even worse, a 20? tv from a garage sale because you cant afford a new one again!
If you had a certified factory warranty where the warranty provider came out and checked your electrical system and your entire system and certified that system, and the same situation happened. Then who is left with the bill at that point? certainly not you!
Q. Ok How much can I really be liable for if my roof fails under warranty?
A. You may be surprised. Here is a table below to outline some of the key points, if you want to see a full side by side check out our warranty comparison page. These figures are done during the roofs non prorated warranty period which is considered 100% coverage. As the table reveals there is much more to a warranty than meets the eye.

Q. I love it! Where do I get it and how much?
A. While each roof is different and we cant exactly give a quote over the internet, we can tell you that the price difference between the baseline roof and the top of the line roof with all the premium materials is on average 10-12% higher. Considering it can save you up to 55% of your total roof if a warranty claim is required that is one heck of a value. As far as where can you get it? Well here of course!
