Have you considered working with a roofing company in Ontario? Don’t forget to look for a GAF certification. A GAF certification is an important credential to have in the roofing industry, showcasing a company’s commitment to quality service. GAF is the largest manufacturer of roofing products in North America. As industry leaders, they outline the requirements that certify roofing contractors across Canada. In this article, we’ll explore what a GAF certification is, its requirements, and why you should work with a GAF certified roofing company.
Why Is GAF Certification Important?
Being a GAF certified roofing company demonstrates proven skill, reliability, and professionalism. Most importantly, not every roofing company is GAF certified. In fact, According to GAF, only 7% of roofing contractors in North America have met the requirements for GAF certification. Quality Care Roofing is proud to be among the 7% of roofing companies that are GAF certified. It’s a certification that is not easily earned, which is why it holds so much weight among the industry.
The 2025 Requirements for GAF Certification
Ontario-based roofing contractors need to be insured and licensed in Ontario to be eligible for GAF certification. Insurance includes workers’ compensations as well as liability insurance. Liability insurance is considered an industry standard. It financially protects clients from any property damage the contractor is responsible for.
In addition to licensing and insurance, GAF also evaluates a roofing company’s:
- Worker Performance, Training, and Capabilities (if it meets GAF’s expectations)
- Roofing Experience
- Credit Rating
