Roof Value & Inspection Report

It is designed to help you understand the potential value a new roof can help create or protect, including energy savings, avoided repairs, water-risk exposure, resale confidence, and warranty-backed protection.

Elite GAF President’s Club Warranty Protection

Modern is part of the select group of roofers that can offer GAF President’s Club protection — one of GAF’s highest residential roofing distinctions.

GAFPresident’s Club

Elite Contractor StatusPresident’s Club is awarded to select high-performing GAF Master Elite contractors nationwide.

Materials CoverageEligible GAF roofing products are protected against covered manufacturing defects.

Labor & WorkmanshipCovered installation/application issues are backed by GAF, including eligible labor.

Wind ProtectionEligible systems may include advanced WindProven protection for qualifying shingles.

Resale ConfidenceThe warranty may be transferable once, helping reduce buyer concern at sale.

Warranty coverage is subject to GAF registration, eligibility requirements, terms, and exclusions. It is a limited warranty, not homeowners insurance. See the Research Sources section.

The Cost of Waiting

Roofing material, labor, fuel, insurance, and installation costs generally rise over time. If the roof already needs replacement, waiting can mean paying more later while continuing to carry repair and leak risk.

$0–$0

Estimated additional project cost if delayed 1–2 years, based on the inflation / annual cost increase input.

Research basis: BLS / FRED roofing-material price index and JLC Cost vs. Value. See the Research Sources section.

Industry Benchmark: JLC Cost vs. Value 2025

The JLC benchmark scope is a 30-square asphalt shingle roof replacement: remove existing roofing to bare wood sheathing and install minimum 235-lb. fiberglass asphalt shingles with a minimum 25-year warranty, underlayment, drip edge, aluminum flashing, two skylight flashings, and vented ridge cap treatment.

Modern positioning note: this JLC benchmark uses a baseline asphalt-shingle specification. Modern’s GAF President’s Club roof system is positioned as a more premium installation and warranty package than the benchmark material specification.
