If you’ve been researching Austin roofing companies, you might have noticed the three letter name, GAF, being mentioned. GAF has grown into one of the largest roofing manufacturers here in North America. They have been around since the late 1800s and continually developed the modern roofing products of the time. In 1912, GAF “…introduced easy to install, inexpensive, and weatherproof individual asphalt shingles.” GAF is a leader in the roofing industry and they can bring expert status to roofers who install their products. With that in mind, you might be wondering what does GAF Master Elite Certification means. Let’s take a look.
