When it comes to choosing a roofing contractor, certifications matter. ACI Construction is proud to be a GAF President's Club award winner — a distinction earned by only a select group of roofing contractors across the entire country. But what does that actually mean for you as a homeowner in Columbus or Central Ohio?
What Is the GAF President's Club?
GAF is North America's largest roofing manufacturer, and their contractor certification program has multiple tiers. The President's Club sits at the very top — above Master Elite®, which itself represents only the top 2% of roofers nationwide.
To earn President's Club status, a contractor must demonstrate:
- Exceptional installation volume — proof of consistent, high-quality work across many projects
- Outstanding customer satisfaction — verified through reviews, references, and complaint resolution
- Business reliability — proper licensing, insurance, and financial stability
- Ongoing training — completion of advanced GAF technical education and certification programs
This isn't a title you can buy — it's earned through years of proven performance.
How This Benefits Your Roofing Project
Hiring a GAF President's Club contractor like ACI Construction gives you advantages that most roofers simply cannot offer:
Access to the Strongest Warranties Available
As a President's Club member, ACI can offer GAF's top-tier warranty packages, including the Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty. This provides:
- Lifetime coverage on manufacturing defects
- 25-year workmanship coverage backed by GAF (not just the contractor)
- 130 MPH wind warranty on Timberline HDZ® shingles with no maximum wind speed limitation
- Tear-off and disposal costs covered during the warranty period
Most contractors can only offer the standard warranty. With ACI, you're getting the maximum protection GAF provides — and GAF stands behind it directly.
Installation You Can Trust
A warranty is only as strong as the installation behind it. GAF requires President's Club contractors to follow strict installation protocols and use the complete GAF roofing system — not just shingles, but also underlayment, starter strips, ridge caps, and ventilation.
When every component works together as designed, your roof performs better and lasts longer. Cutting corners on any layer can void your warranty and shorten your roof's lifespan.
Proven Track Record in Central Ohio
ACI Construction didn't earn this recognition overnight. It's the result of years of quality roofing work across Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, Powell, Grove City, and communities throughout Central Ohio. Our team treats every roof — whether it's a starter home or a large estate — with the same attention to detail.

Why It Matters More Than You Think
Your roof is the single largest protective element of your home. It faces Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, wind, and UV exposure year after year. Choosing the right materials is important — but choosing the right installer is just as critical.
With a GAF President's Club contractor, you're not just getting shingles nailed to your roof. You're getting a complete roofing system, installed by a trained team, backed by the strongest warranties in the industry, and supported by a company that has earned the highest recognition from the manufacturer itself.
