What Does it Take tp be a Top 2% Roofing Contractor?

April 9, 2024

Only 2% of roofing contractors ever achieve GAF Master Elite status—and Firon Roofing is proud to be one of them. This post explores what it takes to reach that top tier, from rigorous standards to rock-solid warranties, and why it means Ottawa homeowners can trust us for professional, long-lasting roof replacements.

What it takes to get recognized as a top 2% roofing contractor

Years of experience, continued training, licensing and insurance, and an A+ BBB rating—do these qualifications sound like what you’re looking for when hiring a roofing contractor in the Greater Ottawa Area?

Well, believe it or not, 98% of roofers do not meet those criteria.

Those are the standards to be considered for GAF Master Elite status, a recognition from the largest roofing manufacturer in North America. Only 2% of roofing contractors make the cut.

When you see the GAF Master Elite designation, you’ve found a roofer that’s the real deal.

Here at Firon Roofing, we’re proud to be recognized as part of an elite segment of the roofing industry—and we didn’t get here by accident.

Passionate about professionalism

When you think of a contractor being around your home, what comes to mind?

For most homeowners, that idea isn’t exactly positive.

Professionalism in the roofing industry isn’t always guaranteed. You’ll hear stories of roofers who show up late, leave messes behind, or play loud music on the job.

That may be common elsewhere, but it’s not acceptable at Firon Roofing.

Our GAF Master Elite status proves it. From day one, we’ve built a team committed to excellence and service.

Our crew shows up on time, keeps you informed, and treats your home with respect.

They’re craftsmen through and through—skilled, careful, and dedicated to the job.

When you choose a GAF Master Elite contractor, you’re choosing professionalism you can count on.


Excellence is the standard

Every house needs a roof. That’s why roofing jobs are plentiful—and why some contractors try to do too much too quickly.

Some roofers cut corners to keep up with demand. That leads to details being missed and repairs that don’t last.

At Firon Roofing, we value integrity in our work. We take our time to do the job right the first time.

We treat every detail as essential, which is why our crew attends GAF factory training to learn proper installation directly from the manufacturer.

No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just precise, efficient roofing done right.

If you need roofing repairs or replacement, don’t settle for “good enough.” Expect exceptional results.


No disappearing acts

Too often, homeowners share stories about roofers who vanish once the job is done—or sometimes even before it is.

The website’s down. The phone number’s disconnected. And your warranty? Worthless.

Firon Roofing is here for the long haul. We back our work with up to 25-year workmanship warranties because we’re not going anywhere.

GAF only awards Master Elite status to companies with a proven, long-term track record. You need at least seven years of reliable business performance just to qualify.

If you see the GAF Master Elite badge, you know your contractor won’t disappear. That’s the peace of mind every homeowner deserves.
