This past January, GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, announced its Roofs for Troops program offering rebates to both active military and veterans as a display of gratitude for their service. The concept has been such a success that as of early May, the number of military families submitting rebates has surpassed 1,000!
“We are excited to offer the Roofs for Troops rebate program and are thrilled that GAF has now helped over 1,000 military families to put a new roof on their homes – a number that continues to grow rapidly,” stated Paul Bromfield, senior vice president of marketing at GAF. “GAF is truly honored to show its support of the U.S. military and to help protect the homes of the brave men and women who protect our country.”
Through Roofs for Troops, active military, veterans, and retirees who use a GAF factory-certified contractor can receive a $300 rebate from the manufacturer when they purchase a new GAF Lifetime Roofing System and provide proof of purchase for GAF Lifetime Shingles and at least three qualifying GAF accessories. The program runs through the duration of 2012; details can be found by visiting www.military.com/discounts or www.gaf.com/military. GAF factory-certified contractors can be located easily through the home page of the GAF website at www.gaf.com.
GAF also supports the roofing industry through CARE, the Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence, which has provided education to over 125,000 professionals. CARE’s mission is to help professional contractors and distributors build their businesses through sales and management education, and to provide product and installation training to contractors, distributors, architects, property owners, and related industry personnel.
