When it’s time to repair or replace your roof, the decision about who to hire can feel daunting. With so many contractors out there, how can you ensure the one you choose is reliable, experienced, and trustworthy? For homeowners in Minneapolis, selecting a GAF certified roofing company is a smart choice. A GAF certification guarantees your contractor has met stringent quality standards, offering peace of mind and exceptional results.
At Keystone Roofing & Restoration, we are proud to be a local GAF certified roofer, delivering top-notch roofing solutions backed by industry-leading warranties. Let’s explore why this certification matters and how it ensures your roof stands the test of time.
What is GAF Roofing Certification?
A GAF roofing certification is more than just a label—it’s a mark of distinction in the roofing industry. GAF, the largest roofing manufacturer in North America, only certifies contractors who meet their rigorous standards.
Certification Requirements
To become certified, contractors must be fully licensed and insured, have a proven track record of excellence in roofing installation and customer service, and undergo extensive training to stay updated on GAF products and best practices. This ensures that a GAF certified roofing company is equipped to handle your roofing project with precision and care, giving you confidence in the quality of work.
Why Choose a GAF Certified Roofing Company?
Choosing a GAF certified roofing company provides several benefits that protect your investment and enhance your home’s durability.
Superior Craftsmanship
GAF certified contractors are trained to install roofing systems according to manufacturer guidelines. This level of expertise ensures that your roof not only looks great but also performs optimally for years to come.
Exclusive Warranties
One of the standout advantages of working with a GAF-certified contractor is access to exclusive warranties. These warranties, such as the Golden Pledge Warranty, provide up to 50 years of coverage for materials and up to 25 years for workmanship. This is the best protection you can get for your roof.
High-Quality Materials
As a GAF-certified roofer, Keystone Roofing & Restoration uses premium GAF products like Timberline HDZ shingles, known for their durability, weather resistance, and curb appeal.
The Benefits of Hiring a Local GAF Certified Roofer
While GAF certification ensures quality, choosing a local GAF certified roofer like Keystone Roofing & Restoration offers additional advantages.
Expertise in Minneapolis Weather
Minneapolis weather can be unpredictable, with harsh winters, hailstorms, and high winds. A local contractor understands these challenges and can recommend materials like impact-resistant shingles to protect your home.
Impact-Resistant Shingles for Harsh Weather
GAF ArmorShield shingles are designed to withstand hail and strong winds, providing excellent durability. Additionally, energy-efficient shingles from GAF’s Cool Series help homeowners reduce energy costs by reflecting sunlight.
Quick Response Times
Local contractors can respond faster to emergencies like storm damage. Whether you need immediate repairs or an inspection after a hailstorm, we’re just a phone call away.
Supporting Your Community
By hiring a local roofer, you’re supporting the Minneapolis economy and working with a company that truly cares about its neighbors. At Keystone, we pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with our clients.

When to Hire a GAF Certified Roofing Company
Roofing issues won’t wait, and neither should you. Here’s when you should consider hiring a certified contractor.
After storm damage, Minneapolis experiences its fair share of hailstorms and high winds. A certified contractor can inspect your roof and make necessary repairs or replacements. If your roof is aging, most roofs last 20-25 years. If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s time for an upgrade. For immediate repairs, whether it’s a minor leak or significant damage, prompt attention prevents further issues.
