Certifications & Credentials
We could just list our certifications and let the logos do the talking. Most roofing sites do exactly that. But a badge on a website doesn’t tell you anything useful. What actually matters is what happens the day something goes wrong with your roof, and whether the company standing behind it can actually back up what they promised. So here’s what our certifications really mean, in plain terms, and how you can check them yourself before you sign anything.
Assurance You Can Count On
EZ Roofing & Builders stands behind every job we complete.
GAF Master Elite Certified
Here's something most homeowners don't find out until it's too late: not every roofer who installs GAF shingles can offer GAF's best warranty. GAF Master Elite is the manufacturer's top contractor tier, fewer than 2% of roofing companies in North America hold it, re-earned every year based on installation quality, customer satisfaction, and financial stability. Any licensed contractor can offer GAF's standard material warranty, which only covers a defect in the shingle itself. Only a Master Elite contractor can extend GAF's Golden Pledge and System Plus coverage, covering installation mistakes too, for up to 50 years. We've seen homeowners find out the hard way, on someone else's job, that the gap between those two warranties is the gap between a covered fix and an unexpected bill.
Carlisle Factory Trained
Flat roofs don't fail the way shingle roofs do. A shingle problem usually announces itself. A curling edge, a lifted tab, something you can spot from the ground. A flat roof fails quietly, at the seams and the drainage points, and by the time water shows up inside the building, it's often been getting in for a while. Carlisle Factory Trained is specific to that kind of roofing, covering TPO and EPDM membrane systems on most commercial buildings and additions, and the training is built around exactly the parts that go wrong most: seam welding, insulation layering, drainage slope. It's also what qualifies us to offer Carlisle's NDL warranty on commercial jobs, about as strong a guarantee as this industry offers.
GAF Certified Roofer
This one's about the person actually on your roof, not the name on the invoice. GAF Certified Roofer confirms the technician doing the install completed GAF's factory training on that specific shingle system, nailing pattern, starter course placement, ventilation integration, the small details a lot of general contractor training skips over entirely. It sounds minor until you realize a missed nailing pattern or wrong starter course is the single most common reason a warranty claim gets denied later, long after the crew is gone. We've had to explain that to homeowners who got turned down by a manufacturer on a roof someone else installed, and it's never an easy conversation. This certification is what keeps that from happening on ours, project after project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why hire a GAF Master Elite roofer instead of a standard local contractor?
A: A standard contractor can install GAF shingles without much trouble. What they usually can’t offer is GAF’s strongest warranty coverage. That’s reserved for Master Elite contractors, a distinction held by fewer than 2% of roofers and renewed every year based on actual performance, not handed out once and left alone. Knowing this before you hire someone can save you from a bad surprise later.
Q: What does Carlisle Factory Trained certification mean for my roof?
A: It applies specifically to flat and low slope roofing, the kind used on additions, garages, and most commercial buildings. Carlisle is the benchmark manufacturer for TPO and EPDM membrane systems, and this training focuses on the parts of an installation that actually go wrong: seam welding, insulation layering, and drainage slope. A flat roof installed incorrectly usually doesn’t show a problem right away, which is exactly why this certification matters more than people expect.
Q: Is EZ Roofing licensed and insured in New York?
A: Yes. We are fully licensed and insured across Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, and Brooklyn.
