Golem Roofing provides four layers of financial protection on every project: a 15-year no-leak workmanship warranty, manufacturer warranty on eligible systems, $25,000 contractor bond plus $1 million liability insurance, and a $250,000 third-party guarantee through Directorii. This level of protection is rare in the roofing industry — fewer than 5% of contractors in California offer third-party guarantees.
Four Layers of Roofing Protection
Four Layers of Roofing Protection
Most roofing warranties only cover materials. At Golem Roofing, we believe your investment deserves more. Our quad-layer protection covers materials (manufacturer warranty), labor (workmanship guarantee), contractor accountability (surety bond + liability insurance), and an independent third-party financial guarantee (Directorii). If anything goes wrong — materials, workmanship, or even if our company closes — your roof is covered.
What Each Protection Layer Covers
- Workmanship Warranty (15 years): Covers installation errors — if a shingle lifts, flashing leaks, or any labor-related issue occurs, we fix it at no cost
- Manufacturer Warranty (20+ years): GAF covers material defects including premature granule loss, cracking, and wind damage for the rated period
- Bond + Insurance ($25K bond, $1M liability): Protects you financially if property damage occurs during installation
- Directorii Third-Party Guarantee ($250K): An independent payout if our warranty obligations are not met — even if the company ceases to exist
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a third-party roofing guarantee?
A third-party guarantee is an independent financial commitment from a company like Directorii that backs the contractor’s warranty. If the roofing company fails to honor its warranty for any reason — including going out of business — Directorii will cover the repair or replacement up to $250,000. This is separate from the manufacturer warranty and the contractor’s own workmanship guarantee.
How do I verify a roofing company's warranty claims?
Ask for written documentation of every warranty tier. For GAF warranties, verify the contractor’s certification at gaf.com/certified. For Directorii guarantees, verify the contractor’s profile at directorii.com. For bond and insurance, request the certificate of insurance and verify the bond number with the California CSLB at cslb.ca.gov. Legitimate contractors will provide all of this willingly.
