Credentials
Blue Jay Roofing is fully licensed, insured, and certified. We hold GAF Certified™ designations for residential and commercial roofing, with a public BBB profile homeowners can check before hiring.
Primary Certification
GAF Certified™ Roofing Contractor
Blue Jay Roofing is a 2026 GAF Certified™ Roofing Contractor (GAF ID: 1143220). GAF is North America's largest roofing manufacturer, and their certification program is invitation-only — reserved for contractors who meet rigorous standards for proper licensing, insurance coverage, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.
This certification authorizes us to offer the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty on qualifying residential roofing projects. This enhanced warranty covers both GAF materials and our workmanship, providing homeowners with protection that far exceeds a standard contractor warranty.
The GAF certification is renewed annually and requires ongoing compliance with GAF's quality and installation standards. Our 2026 certification confirms we remain in good standing.
Commercial Certification
GAF Certified™ Commercial Contractor
In addition to our residential certification, Blue Jay Roofing holds the GAF Certified™ Commercial Contractor designation. This separate certification validates our expertise in commercial low-slope roofing systems, including TPO and PVC membrane installation.
As confirmed in our official GAF Commercial reference letter (dated January 28, 2026), Blue Jay Roofing is authorized to offer enhanced GAF warranties for qualified commercial projects, including:
- Integrated System Limited Warranty — Comprehensive coverage combining GAF materials and certified installation.
- System Pledge™ Roof Guarantee — Extended protection for qualifying commercial roofing systems.
Only a select group of roofing contractors in North America are invited by GAF to become GAF Certified™ Commercial Contractors. This invitation reflects our proven track record with commercial roofing projects and our commitment to quality installation standards.
BBB Accredited · A+ Rated
BBB Accredited Business — A+ Rating
Blue Jay Roofing is officially accredited by the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating, the highest rating awarded by BBB. Accredited since June 15, 2026, our business has been independently evaluated and meets the BBB Standards for Trust — a set of principles for ethical business conduct, transparency, and responsiveness to customers.
BBB accreditation is not automatic — businesses must apply, undergo a review of their licensing, complaint history, and advertising practices, and commit to making a good-faith effort to resolve any consumer disputes. Only businesses that meet these standards earn BBB accreditation.
For homeowners comparing Okanagan roofers, BBB gives you an independent place to verify our business history, licensing details, and complaint record — separate from our own marketing or Google reviews.

Why It Matters
What our certifications mean for your project
Verified Quality
GAF certification means our workmanship has been reviewed and approved by North America's largest roofing manufacturer. You're not just taking our word for it — GAF has independently verified our capabilities.
Manufacturer-Backed Warranty
Standard contractor warranties are only as good as the contractor. GAF enhanced warranties are backed by a corporation with over $4 billion in annual revenue — protection that lasts regardless of what happens to any individual contractor.
Proper Insurance Coverage
Every Blue Jay Roofing project is covered by WCB, general liability insurance, and proper licensing. You never face liability for worker injuries or property damage on our projects.
Ongoing Accountability
GAF certification is renewed annually and requires continuous compliance. We don't rest on past credentials — we maintain our standards year after year.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does GAF Certified™ actually mean?
GAF Certified™ is an invitation-only program by GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer. Contractors must demonstrate proper licensing, adequate insurance, a proven reputation, and a commitment to ongoing training. Once certified, we can offer enhanced GAF warranties that combine manufacturer material coverage with installation workmanship — something non-certified contractors cannot provide.
How do I verify your GAF certification?
Our GAF ID is 1143220. You can verify our certification status by visiting gaf.com and searching for certified contractors in the Kelowna / West Kelowna area, or by contacting GAF directly. We are certified for both residential roofing and commercial roofing in 2026.
Does WCB coverage really matter for roofing?
Yes — it is essential. Roofing is classified as high-risk work in BC. If a worker is injured on your property and the contractor lacks WCB coverage, the property owner can be held liable for medical costs and lost wages. Blue Jay Roofing carries full WCB coverage so you are never exposed to this risk.
What is the difference between a standard warranty and a GAF enhanced warranty?
A standard contractor warranty covers workmanship only and is only as reliable as the contractor's continued existence in business. A GAF enhanced warranty (like System Plus or the Integrated System Limited Warranty) combines GAF's manufacturer material coverage with certified workmanship, backed by a multi-billion-dollar corporation. If any issue arises, GAF stands behind both the materials and the installation.
Are you certified for commercial roofing specifically?
Yes. We hold a separate GAF Certified™ Commercial Contractor designation, confirmed by GAF in writing dated January 28, 2026. This certification specifically validates our expertise in commercial low-slope roofing systems including TPO and PVC membrane installation.
Is Blue Jay Roofing BBB accredited?
Yes. Blue Jay Roofing is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, accredited June 15, 2026, through BBB British Columbia & Yukon. Our public BBB profile is available on bbb.org where you can independently verify our business history, complaint record, and trust standing before hiring.

Why does GAF certification matter for homeowners?
