GAF Certified Roofing Contractor
B&B Roof and Gutter is a GAF Certified contractor, installing GAF roofing systems for homeowners throughout Mobile and Baldwin Counties. GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and certification isn’t something a contractor can simply buy — it has to be earned and maintained.
What Does GAF Certified Mean?
Certified GAF contractors are held to a higher standard than the average roofing crew. To keep our certification, we have to maintain proper licensing and insurance, keep a track record of quality workmanship, and stay current on GAF’s official training for correct installation technique on their products.
That matters more than it might sound like. The overwhelming majority of roof failures aren’t caused by a bad shingle — they’re caused by a bad installation: improper flashing, incorrect fastening, or ventilation that traps moisture. GAF certification exists specifically to hold contractors accountable to the installation practices that prevent those failures.
Stronger Warranty Coverage
A standard manufacturer warranty on roofing shingles typically covers material defects only — if the shingle itself fails, you’re covered, but if a poor installation lets water in, a standard warranty usually won’t help you. Because we’re a GAF Certified contractor, homeowners we install for may qualify for extended warranty options backed directly by GAF that also cover workmanship, not just materials, for a longer term. Which warranty tier you qualify for depends on the specific roofing system installed — we’ll go over the available options during your estimate.
Why It Matters on the Gulf Coast
Roofs in Mobile and Baldwin County take a beating from sun, humidity, and wind that roofs in milder climates never see. The installation details that void a standard warranty — poor flashing, inadequate ventilation, incorrect nailing pattern — are the exact same details that let water into your home during a Gulf Coast storm. Manufacturer-backed workmanship coverage matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country.
Why Choose B&B Roof and Gutter
We’re locally based in Spanish Fort and serve homeowners throughout Mobile and Baldwin Counties. In addition to GAF certification, we also build roofs to the FORTIFIED Roof wind-mitigation standard and help homeowners take advantage of the Strengthen Alabama Homes grant to cover the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a GAF Certified contractor really different from any other roofer?
Yes. GAF Certified contractors have to meet ongoing requirements around licensing, insurance, training, and installation quality to keep their certification. That accountability is what makes stronger, workmanship-inclusive warranty options possible in the first place.
Does a GAF certified installation cost more?
Pricing depends on the specific roofing system and scope of work, not on certification status itself. We’ll give you a clear, itemized estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Do I need a GAF Certified contractor to get a GAF manufacturer warranty?
You can get GAF’s standard material-only warranty with any installer. Extended warranty options that also cover workmanship generally require installation by a certified contractor — that’s the coverage gap certification is designed to close.
What roofing products does B&B install?
