Always review the appropriate Application & Specification Manual to confirm that the requirements provided above are current, and to obtain additional information that is important for a successful installation. This Cut Spec specification shall not waive, supersede or alter the requirements and recommendations found in the most current Application & Specification Manual(s), printed technical bulletins or specific correspondence drafted for this project by Field Services, Design Services, or Technical Services Manager. Application & Specification Manuals and specimen copies of guarantee/warranty documents are available at www.gaf.com. Note: Your Field Services or Technical Services Managers are the only employees who can approve any deviation from GAF's published specification manual(s). Each roof has unique requirements. This specification is a representation of products and their installation. To properly assess specific roofing needs, code compliance, system configurations, and warranty eligibility, contact Design Services. The above listed roofing system is based on GAF guarantee requirements and is not intended to modify, negate or alter any requirements specified by the design professional or others. Fastener pullout testing should be performed to ensure acceptable attachment into substrate. Adhesion testing is required prior to guarantee registration to ensure foam adhesive will bond to a given substrate. Any wet or damaged existing decking must be removed and replaced prior to re-roofing. This system shall be installed by a GAF GoldElite™ Commercial Contractor. All GAF and EverGuard® accessories shall be used where applicable. Prepare substrate in accordance with GAF requirements, including but not limited to, removal and replacement of wet or damaged materials/insulation, and removal of existing flashing materials. Sweep and remove all loose gravel and clean debris from roof surface. Re-secure any existing insulation as required. Any existing single ply membrane must be cut into 10' x 10' sections. Moisture survey is recommended and in some circumstances required. If new roofing is to be adhered to any coated surface, it must be power washed to remove loose and delaminating materials. Every effort must be made to remove existing coatings as part of the cleaning process and silicone based coatings MUST be removed completely. Adhesion failures due to existing coatings are not covered by the GAF Guarantee, so it is important to test adhesion prior to proceeding with installation of new materials. Existing materials are excluded from the GAF Guarantee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verGuard® TPO 60 mil Membrane Drill-Tec™ #14 Fasteners & 2-3/8” Barbed XHD Plates N/A EnergyGuard™ Polyiso Insulation N/A Plywood Deck - 15/32" Recover Drill-Tec™ #12 Fasteners & 3” Standard Steel Plates St Clement's Church BUR EverGuard® TPO 60 mil Membrane, ASTM D6878 Fastened with Drill-Tec™ Fasteners & Plates New Insulation: EnergyGuard™ Polyiso Insulation, ASTM C1289 Drill-Tec™ Fasteners Plates Existing Substrate: BUR over Existing Insulation Deck Type: Plywood Deck - 15/32" T60RMA SP EC IM EN GAF 1 CAMPUS DRIVE PARSIPPANY, NJ 07054 Visit gaf.com EverGuard® Diamond Pledge™ NDL Roof Guarantee 2024 GAF • COMTS700-1224 OWNER OF BUILDING NAME OF BUILDING ADDRESS OF BUILDING AREA OF ROOF (SQUARES) APPLIED BY GUARANTEE NUMBER PERIOD OF COVERAGE DATE OF COMPLETION GUARANTEE EXPIRATION DATE ROOF SPECIFICATION By: _________________________________________________________ Authorized Signature THE GUARANTEE/SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY GAF Warranty Company LLC ("GAF") guarantees to you, the owner of the building described above, that GAF will provide “Edge To Edge” protection by repairing leaks through the GAF roofing membrane, liquid-applied membrane or coating, base flashing, high-wall waterproofing flashing, insulation, expansion joint covers, preflashed accessories, and metal flashings used by the contractor of record that were designed and installed in accordance with an appropriate ES-1 certified edge detail (the “GAF Roofing Materials”) resulting from a manufacturing defect, ordinary wear and tear, or workmanship in applying the GAF Roofing Materials. There is no dollar limit on covered repairs. Leaks caused by any non-GAF materials, such as the roof deck or non-GAF insulation, are not covered. GUARANTEE PERIOD This guarantee ends on the expiration date listed above. OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES Notification of Leaks In the event of a leak through the GAF Roofing Materials, you MUST make sure that GAF is notified directly about the leak, in writing, within 30 days either online at leakreporting.gaf.com, by email at guaranteeleak@gaf.com, or by postal mail to GAF Warranty Claims Department, 1 Campus Drive, Parsippany, NJ 07054, or GAF will have no responsibility for making repairs. NOTE: The roofing contractor is NOT an agent of GAF; notice to the roofing contractor is NOT notice to GAF. By notifying GAF, you authorize GAF to investigate the cause of the leak. If the investigation reveals that the leak is not covered by this guarantee, you agree to pay an investigation cost of $500. This guarantee will be cancelled if you fail to pay this cost within 30 days of receipt of an invoice for it. Preventative Maintenance and Repairs A. You must perform regular inspections and maintenance and keep records of this work. B. To keep this guarantee in effect, you must repair any conditions in the building structure or roofing system that are not covered by this guarantee but that GAF concludes may be threatening the integrity of the GAF Roofing Materials. Any such repairs must be performed by a GAF-certified roofing contractor. Failure to make timely repairs may jeopardize guarantee coverage. C. You may make temporary repairs to minimize damage to the building or its contents in an emergency, at your sole expense. These repairs will not result in cancellation of the guarantee as long as they are reasonable and customary and do not result in permanent damage to the GAF Roofing Materials. D. Any equipment or material that impedes any inspection or repair must be removed at your expense so that GAF can perform inspections or repairs. EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE e.g., items that are not “ordinary wear and tear” or are beyond the control of GAF) This guarantee does NOT cover conditions other than leaks. This guarantee also does NOT cover leaks caused by any of the following: 1. Inadequate roof maintenance, that is, the failure to follow the Scheduled Maintenance Checklists provided with this guarantee (extra copies available by calling Guarantee Services at 1-877-GAF-ROOF) or the failure to repair owner responsibility items. 2. Unusual weather conditions or natural disasters including, but not limited to, winds in excess of 55 miles per hour, hail, floods, hurricanes, lightning, tornados, and earthquakes, unless specifically covered by an addendum to this guarantee. 3. Impact of foreign objects or physical damage caused by any intentional or negligent acts, accidents, misuse, abuse, or the like. 4. Damage to the roof constructed of the GAF Roofing Materials due to: a) movement, cracking, or other failure of the roof deck or building; (b) improper installation or failure of any non-GAF insulation or materials; (c) condensation or infiltration of moisture through or around the walls, copings, building structure, or surrounding materials except where high-wall GAF waterproofing flashings are installed; (d) chemical attack on the membrane, including, but not limited to, exposure to grease or oil; (e) the failure of wood nailers to remain attached to the structure; (f) moisture migration from the building interior or any building component other than the GAF Roofing Materials; (g) use of materials that are incompatible with the GAF Roofing Materials; or (h) architectural, engineering, or design defects or flaws. 5. Traffic of any nature on the roof unless using GAF walkways applied in accordance with GAF published application instructions. 6. Blisters in the GAF Roofing Materials that have not resulted in leaks. 7. Changes in the use of the building or any repairs, installation of any overburden, modifications, or additions to the GAF Roofing Materials after the roof is completed, unless prior written approval is obtained from GAF. 8. Exposure to sustained high-temperature conditions; however, for systems utilizing EverGuard Extreme® TPO membrane, exposure in excess of 195°F. No representative, employee, or agent of GAF, or any other person, has the authority to assume any additional or other liability or responsibility for GAF, unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized GAF Field Services Manager or Director. GAF does not practice engineering or architecture. Neither the issuance of this guarantee, nor any review of the roof constructed of the GAF Roofing Materials (or the plans for the roof), by GAF shall constitute any warranty of such plans, specifications or construction, or the suitability or code compliance of the GAF Roofing Materials for any particular structure. NOTE: Any inspections made by GAF are limited to a surface inspection only, are for the sole benefit of GAF, and do not constitute a waiver or extension of any of the terms and conditions of this guarantee. This guarantee MAY BE SUSPENDED OR CANCELLED IF THE ROOF IS DAMAGED BY any cause listed above as AN EXCLUSION FROM COVERAGE that may affect the integrity or watertightness of the roof. TRANSFERABILITY You may transfer or assign this guarantee to a subsequent owner of this building for the remaining term only if: 1) the request is in writing to GAF at the address listed below within 60 days after ownership transfer; 2) you make any repairs to the GAF Roofing Materials or other roofing or building components that are identified by GAF after an inspection as necessary to preserve the integrity of the GAF Roofing Materials; and 3) you pay an assignment fee of $500. This guarantee is NOT otherwise transferable or assignable by contract or operation of law, either directly or indirectly. LIMITATION OF DAMAGES; MEDIATION; JURISDICTION; CHOICE OF LAW THIS GUARANTEE IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, and of any other obligations or liability of GAF, whether any claim against it is based upon negligence, breach of warranty, or any other theory. In NO event shall GAF be liable for any CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES of any kind, including, but not limited to, interior or exterior damages and/or mold growth. The parties agree that, as a condition precedent to litigation, any controversy or claim relating to this guarantee shall be first submitted to mediation before a mutually acceptable mediator unless GAF, at its sole option, elects to waive said requirement. In the event that mediation is unsuccessful, or is waived by GAF, the parties agree that neither one will commence or prosecute any lawsuit or proceedings other than before the appropriate state or federal court in the State of New Jersey. This guarantee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Each party irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the above identified courts. NOTE: GAF shall have no obligation under this guarantee unless and until all bills for installation and supplies have been paid in full to the roofing contractor and materials suppliers, and the guarantee charge has been paid to GAF.
