Brands We Install

GAF Platinum is one of the highest certification tiers GAF offers to roofing contractors. It's one of the two roofing brands certifications ROYH Build Co maintains. It requires ongoing training and documented install rules. It also unlocks extended workmanship warranty coverage on qualifying GAF shingle systems, coverage a non-certified installer can't offer. ROYH Build Co maintains this certification actively, not just as a one-time credential. That means annual training requirements and periodic quality checks on completed installations. That ongoing upkeep is part of why the certification carries weight with homeowners comparing contractors. It's worth asking any contractor whether their certification is current or just something they earned once, years ago.

They're separate certifications from separate manufacturers, but they work the same way. Atlas Platinum requires the same kind of ongoing training and documented install rules as GAF Platinum. It also unlocks Atlas's own extended workmanship warranty coverage on qualifying shingle systems. Holding both gives homeowners two backed shingle options instead of one. That matters if you're comparing warranty terms, color availability, or pricing between the two lines before deciding. Most roofing contractors hold at most one of these tiers, if any. Having both on our roofing brands lineup is genuinely uncommon in this market. It also means we're not steering you toward one manufacturer just because it's the only one we're certified with.

It depends on your roof type, budget, and how long you want the material to last. There's no single right answer for every house. Asphalt shingle homeowners usually choose between GAF and Atlas based on style and warranty preference, since both perform similarly against Texas weather. Homeowners wanting more durability or a different look often turn elsewhere. McElroy Metal covers standing seam. Westlake Royal covers tile. DaVinci and F-Wave supply synthetic slate and shake products that mimic natural materials without the extra structural weight. We'll walk through the roofing brands and other supplier options that fit your specific roof, budget, and timeline during a free estimate.

No. Certification is something ROYH Build Co maintains on our end through training and documentation, not a line item we pass on to you. What it changes is the warranty coverage available on the finished job. Certified installers can offer extended warranty terms that uncertified installers simply aren't eligible for. Registering that warranty correctly after the job is done is also on us, not something you have to track down paperwork for later. It's one less thing to worry about if you ever need to make a claim years down the line. If you've ever dealt with a lapsed or improperly filed warranty on a past project, you already know why that matters.
