What's included
GAF Master Elite
The top tier of GAF-certified contractors, unlocking the Golden Pledge and System Plus extended warranties on Maryland shingle installations.
Owens Corning Platinum
Owens Corning's highest contractor tier, required for the Platinum Protection non-prorated warranty on architectural shingle roofs.
CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster
CertainTeed's top credential, required to offer the SureStart PLUS extended warranty on Maryland installations.
Certified ≠ licensed
A manufacturer certification is a workmanship credential, not a legal license. Always confirm the contractor also holds an active Maryland MHIC license before hiring.
Warranty coverage
Certified installs typically extend coverage beyond materials to include labor and workmanship for 25–50 years, versus 10–20 years for standard installations.
Verify before you hire
Confirm certification status directly through the manufacturer's contractor locator rather than relying on a logo on a truck, website, or business card.

FAQs
What's the difference between certified and licensed in Maryland?
A Maryland MHIC license is the state's legal permission to perform home improvement work. A manufacturer certification — GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster — is a separate credential from a shingle maker confirming the contractor met training, insurance, and workmanship-history requirements. A roofer should have both.
What is GAF Master Elite certification?
GAF Master Elite is awarded to roughly the top 3% of GAF-certified roofers nationally, based on licensing, insurance, and a clean workmanship record. It unlocks GAF's Golden Pledge and System Plus extended warranties, which aren't available through standard GAF installers.
Do manufacturer certifications cost more?
Certified contractors sometimes price slightly higher because of training and manufacturer overhead, but the difference is usually offset by access to extended, non-prorated material and workmanship warranties that standard installers can't offer.
Are certifications transferable if I sell my Maryland home?
Many manufacturer warranties tied to certified installation — including GAF's Golden Pledge — are transferable to a new homeowner within a limited window after the sale, which can be a selling point when listing your property.
How do I confirm a certification is current?
Ask for the contractor's certification ID and confirm it on the manufacturer's own contractor locator (GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed each maintain one). Certifications can lapse, so don't rely solely on a logo on a truck or website.
