GAF, Parsippany, N.J., has announced the launch of the 2026 GAF Roof of the Year contest, which is designed to recognize outstanding roofing projects completed by GAF-certified contractors throughout the U.S.
The contest invites contractors to showcase projects that exemplify excellence in roofing and is organized into five award categories: Best Use of Premium Products; Most Challenging Roof; Helping Others in the Community; The Gold Standard; and Best Metal Roof.
For each category, one grand prize-winning contractor and four contractor runners-up will be selected. Each grand prize-winning contractor will receive $10,000 in co-branded paid media support from GAF to help promote their business within their local market. In addition, each homeowner associated with a grand prize-winning project will receive a $10,000 cash award, and homeowners whose projects are selected as runners-up will receive $1,000.
