Top 2% of Roofing Contractors Nationwide • Golden Pledge Warranty • FL Licensed • OSHA 30
GAF Master Elite certification is the most exclusive contractor designation in the residential roofing industry — held by fewer than 2% of roofing contractors in the United States. Earning it requires maintaining a valid Florida roofing contractor's license, carrying adequate liability and workers' compensation insurance, demonstrating a proven track record of quality installations, and completing ongoing GAF training programs. The certification is renewed annually, not awarded once and kept indefinitely. JK Prestige Constructor Corp has maintained GAF Master Elite status since receiving it, and we take that standard seriously in every installation. The practical benefit for Jacksonville homeowners is significant: only GAF Master Elite contractors can offer the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, which provides 25-year non-prorated coverage on both materials and workmanship — the strongest residential roofing warranty available from any manufacturer. Free inspection, 48-hour written estimate.
Three enhanced warranty tiers — all transferable to new homeowners, all non-prorated within coverage period.
The strongest residential roofing warranty available. 25 years non-prorated coverage on both GAF materials and contractor installation workmanship. Transferable to new owners. Optional factory inspection. Available only through GAF Master Elite contractors — most Jacksonville roofers cannot offer this.
25-year non-prorated materials coverage plus 10-year workmanship coverage. Transferable. Covers manufacturing defects and installation-related failures within the workmanship period. Excellent value for the mid-tier budget.
15-year non-prorated coverage on both materials and workmanship. Entry-level enhanced warranty requiring GAF Master Elite contractor. Still significantly stronger than the standard GAF Shingle & Accessory warranty available through any contractor.
The certification requires active compliance with four standards — verified by GAF annually.
GAF requires a current, unrestricted Florida Roofing Contractor license. This is separately verifiable at myfloridalicense.com. JK Prestige holds a valid Florida license and has held it continuously since 2017.
GAF requires liability and workers' compensation insurance at specified minimum levels. This protects you from liability if a worker is injured on your property. Uninsured roofing contractors in Florida expose homeowners to direct liability for worker injuries.
GAF verifies installation volume, customer satisfaction, and complaint history. Contractors who generate significant complaints or have installation-related warranty claims filed against them lose Master Elite status at renewal. JK Prestige has maintained it since initial certification.
GAF Master Elite contractors complete annual training covering new product specifications, installation techniques, and Florida Building Code updates. This training directly affects installation quality and warranty eligibility for each new product line.
Only about 2% of all roofing contractors qualify. Requirements include a valid Florida license, adequate insurance, a proven track record, and completed GAF training. The certification renews annually — it is not awarded once and kept forever.
Master Elite contractors can offer Silver Pledge (15-year non-prorated, materials + labor), Gold Pledge (25-year materials, 10-year labor), and Golden Pledge (25-year non-prorated, materials + labor). All three are transferable. Standard contractors can only offer the base material warranty.
The most comprehensive residential roofing warranty available. Covers both GAF materials and workmanship for up to 25 years on a non-prorated basis. Transferable to subsequent owners. Only available through GAF Master Elite contractors.
Verify at contractor.gaf.com by entering the contractor's name or zip code. If a contractor claims Master Elite but cannot be found in GAF's locator, they are not currently certified. You can also verify our Florida license at myfloridalicense.com.
