Warranties

Warranties

Manufacturer-backed coverage from GAF and Malarkey — the two strongest warranty programs in residential roofing.

We offer a 25-year warranty on workmanship with the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty and the Malarkey Emerald Premium Warranty, backed by the manufacturer — not just by us, so coverage stands whether Northern Pacific is around or not. Only GAF Master Elite contractors and Malarkey Emerald Premium-certified installers can offer these warranty programs.
The Malarkey Emerald Premium Warranty is the top-tier warranty Malarkey offers on their rubberized SBS-modified asphalt shingle systems — available only through Malarkey Emerald Premium certified contractors, the highest tier in Malarkey's Pro Certified program. It includes 25 years of workmanship coverage backed by Malarkey, full system coverage for shingles plus matched-system underlayment and accessories, and material coverage of up to 50 years on qualifying systems. Northern Pacific has held Emerald status since 2016 and is one of only two contractors in the region with Malarkey Emerald Premium certification.
Yes — both the GAF Golden Pledge and the Malarkey Emerald Premium warranties are transferable to the next homeowner. This protects your investment when you sell and is one of the strongest resale signals you can give a buyer. Each manufacturer has its own transfer process and timing — we walk you and your buyer's agent through the steps when your home is on the market.
