There are many Prairie Village roofers to choose from; a simple Google search turns up 10 names in 66202 zip code. Homeowners who have not found an established roofing company yet may feel in-the-dark about choosing the right company for the job.

Tips on Choosing The Right Roofer

• Find a company with a PERMANENT local address! Make sure the contractor vehicles have local plates!
• Ask to see PROOF of liability insurance. Everyone will say they have it, but a copy should be visible.
• Check Angie’s List, the BBB and review sites like Merchant Circle to see that the company has a good reputation.
• Don’t pay for the roofing job in full until all the work has been done to your satisfaction.

Jeff Pendergraft is an experienced roofing contractor in Prairie Village with over 15 years of service to area homeowners. His business has continued to thrive, due primarily to the steady stream of referrals over the years. Whether you need a pitched roof shingled or hail damage repaired, Eclipse Roofing is a trustworthy and reliable company to consider.

When you’re looking for a high quality Prairie Village roofing company, one of the things you’ll need to consider is what materials are being used on your new roof. Some homeowners look at several roofing contractor bids and decide that price should be the deciding factor. That is fine, so long as all the contractors are offering the same quality of materials. You cannot, for example, compare a 3-tab shingle job to an architectural shingle job and expect them to be the same price. It used to be that everyone on the block had 3-tab shingles. However, these flat-looking and relatively unappealing shingles are only guaranteed for 15 years tops. By comparison, attractive 3-D architectural shingles are guaranteed for up to 40 years and are more wind and fire resistant. Architectural versus 3-Tab is just one of many considerations for your next roofing job.

GAF Announces Groundbreaking Lifetime

Limited Warranty On All Of Its Laminated

Roofing Shingles

Homeowners To Benefit From Multiple Decades Increase In Warranted Performance*

WAYNE, NJ (1/2011) – GAF, North America’s largest roofing and ventilation manufacturer, is announcing groundbreaking changes to its laminated shingle warranties.  Effective January 1, 2011, every GAF laminated shingle, including all Timberline^®shingles—the #1-selling shingles in North America—will be covered by a lifetime ltd. warranty when installed on single family residences (see ltd. warranty for complete coverage and restrictions).  GAF will no longer offer any laminated shingles with just a 30-year or 40-year warranty, a first for any roofing manufacturer.

This revolutionary change has been made possible by GAF’s Advanced Protection^™ technology, which was first introduced in 2007.  This innovative shingle technology has resulted in shingles that offer improved performance, including superior durability and wind resistance.  GAF is so confident in the performance of its Advanced Protection^™ shingles that it has decided to make this unprecedented improvement in its warranties.

“As a company, we are committed to advanced quality, industry-leading expertise, and solutions that make our customers’ lives simple — which is what this warranty upgrade is all about,” stated Bob Tafaro, President and CEO of GAF. “Contractors will benefit from knowing that they can stand with confidence behind every installation of GAF laminated shingles.  Homeowners will benefit from knowing that their installed shingles are warranted for a lifetime, adding significant value to their home.”

GAF has also upgraded the coverage of its Golden Pledge^® and System Plus limited warranties, which are offered exclusively by its GAF-certified contractors.

“We are especially excited to announce this warranty upgrade, given that 2011 is GAF’s 125th anniversary as a company. At a time when Americans are facing so much uncertainty about the future, you can be sure that GAF will be there decades from now to stand by the performance of our roofing products.  This warranty upgrade will reinforce both our leadership position in the industry and our promise of excellence to our customers,” said Tafaro.

Complete details about these changes, including certificates confirming coverage and explaining the new terms which contractors can use with homeowners, can be found at www.gaf.com/upgrade.
