Elegant Exteriors Awarded GAF President’s Club: What This Means for Central New Jersey Homeowners
We’re proud to announce that Elegant Exteriors has been awarded GAF President’s Club status — the highest recognition a roofing contractor can achieve from North America’s largest roofing manufacturer.
If you’re a homeowner in Jackson Township, Toms River, Freehold, Howell, or anywhere in Monmouth, Ocean, or Burlington County, this award directly affects the quality, protection, and value you can expect when you work with us.
But what does “President’s Club” actually mean? And why should it matter when you’re choosing a roofing contractor?
Let me break down exactly what this recognition represents — and what it means for your roof.
What is a GAF President’s Club contractor?
GAF President’s Club is the highest award given by GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. President’s Club contractors are considered “the best of the best” among GAF Master Elite contractors — a group that already represents less than 3% of roofers nationwide. This recognition is based on proven performance, reliability, customer satisfaction, and service excellence. Only President’s Club contractors can offer GAF’s most comprehensive warranty protection, including manufacturer-backed coverage on both materials and labor.
The GAF Certification Ladder: Where President’s Club Sits
To understand what President’s Club means, it helps to see how GAF’s certification levels work. Not all contractors are created equal, and GAF recognizes different levels of achievement:
GAF Certified™ — The entry point. These contractors can offer System Plus limited warranties.
GAF Certified Plus™ — A step up. These contractors can offer System Plus and Silver Pledge limited warranties.
GAF Master Elite® — The elite tier. Less than 3% of roofing contractors nationwide achieve this status. Master Elite contractors can offer GAF’s Golden Pledge® limited warranty — one of the strongest in the industry.
GAF President’s Club — The top of the top. This is an invitation-only recognition for the highest-performing Master Elite contractors. GAF describes President’s Club winners as “the best of the best among Master Elite contractors.”
President’s Club isn’t something you apply for. It’s awarded based on proven track record: performance, reliability, customer satisfaction, and commitment to service excellence.
| Certification Level | % of Contractors | Warranty Options |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Certified | ~90%+ | Basic manufacturer warranty only |
| GAF Certified™ | ~7% | System Plus |
| GAF Certified Plus™ | ~5% | System Plus, Silver Pledge™ |
| GAF Master Elite® | <3% | System Plus, Silver Pledge™, Golden Pledge® |
| GAF President’s Club ⭐ | <1% | All warranties + President’s Club Limited Warranty |
What This Award Means for Your Roof
Recognition is nice, but what does it actually mean when you need a new roof? Here’s the practical impact:
1. Access to the Strongest Warranties Available
As a President’s Club contractor, we can offer warranty protection that most contractors simply cannot provide. This includes GAF’s President’s Club Limited Warranty — the most comprehensive coverage GAF offers.
What does this warranty include?
50-year material coverage — Protection against manufacturing defects for five decades.
25-year workmanship coverage — This is the critical part most homeowners overlook. If your roof fails because of installation issues, GAF backs the labor — not just the contractor. Even if we weren’t around (we will be), GAF would still honor the warranty.
Full roofing system coverage — Not just shingles, but the complete system including underlayment, ventilation, and accessories when installed together.
Transferable protection — If you sell your home, the warranty transfers to the new owner, adding real value to your property.
2. Installation Quality You Can Trust
President’s Club status isn’t awarded randomly. GAF evaluates contractors on multiple criteria:
Proper licensing and insurance — Verified and current in all areas where we operate.
Years of roofing experience — Demonstrated track record, not just someone who started roofing last year.
Customer reviews and satisfaction — Real feedback from real homeowners factors into the recognition.
Installation quality — GAF verifies that we follow their installation standards to the letter.
Ongoing training — We stay current with the latest installation methods, materials, and best practices.
When you hire a President’s Club contractor, you’re getting a company that has been independently vetted and continuously evaluated by the manufacturer whose products are going on your roof.
3. Manufacturer-Backed Labor Protection
This is the single biggest benefit most homeowners don’t understand until they need it.
With a standard contractor warranty, your protection is only as good as that contractor’s ability to stay in business. If the company closes in five years, your workmanship warranty is worthless.
With GAF’s enhanced warranties available through President’s Club contractors, GAF backs both the materials AND the labor. If something goes wrong due to installation, GAF stands behind it — regardless of what happens to the contractor.
That’s not our promise alone. That’s GAF — North America’s largest roofing manufacturer — standing behind our work.
Why Manufacturer-Backed Labor Matters:
Many roofing contractors come and go. According to industry data, a significant percentage of roofing companies don’t survive past their first few years. If your contractor closes, their workmanship warranty closes with them.
GAF’s enhanced warranties through President’s Club contractors solve this problem. Your labor protection is backed by a company that’s been in business since 1886 and manufactures roofing materials for millions of homes every year.
That’s protection you can actually count on.
How We Earned This Recognition
President’s Club isn’t given to contractors who fill out an application. It’s earned through consistent performance over time.
For Elegant Exteriors, this recognition reflects what we’ve been doing since day one:
Quality installations, every time. We follow GAF’s installation specifications exactly. No shortcuts, no “close enough” work. Every roof is installed to the standard that earns and maintains our certification.
Customer-focused service. We communicate clearly, show up when we say we will, and make sure you understand exactly what you’re getting. The customer satisfaction scores that factored into this award came from homeowners throughout Monmouth, Ocean, and Burlington counties.
Experienced, trained crews. Our installation teams aren’t day laborers or random subcontractors. They’re experienced professionals who know GAF products and installation methods inside and out.
Honest business practices. We don’t play games with estimates, surprise you with change orders, or pressure you into decisions. What we quote is what you pay, and what we promise is what we deliver.
President’s Club status validates what our customers have experienced all along. It’s GAF independently confirming that Elegant Exteriors operates at the highest level.

Why This Matters More in New Jersey
Central New Jersey throws everything at roofs. Nor’easters. Summer thunderstorms. Ice dams in winter. Salt air for coastal communities. UV exposure. Humidity.
A roof installed to the highest standards, with premium materials, backed by the strongest available warranty — that’s not overkill. It’s exactly what our climate demands.
When your roof is installed by a President’s Club contractor using GAF’s complete roofing system, you get protection engineered to handle what New Jersey weather delivers. And you get warranty coverage that actually means something when you need it.
