GKontos Roofing Achieves GAF Master Elite Status in Hudson Valley

Poughkeepsie, United States – May 20, 2026 / GKontos Roofing & Exterior Specialists /

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — GKontos Roofing & Exterior Specialists, a licensed roofing contractor serving Dutchess, Westchester, and surrounding Hudson Valley counties since 2005, holds GAF Master Elite certification — a credential awarded to fewer than 2% of roofing contractors across the United States.

The certification, issued by GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, recognizes contractors who meet strict requirements for workmanship, active licensing, insurance, and ongoing professional development. For homeowners, the designation carries a practical benefit beyond credentialing: access to GAF’s Golden Pledge warranty, which covers both roofing materials and labor for up to 25 years — a level of protection that non-certified contractors are not authorized to offer.

GAF Master Elite status is not self-reported or purchased. Contractors must apply and be evaluated against GAF’s criteria on an ongoing basis, with re-verification required to maintain the designation. Of the hundreds of roofing contractors operating across the Hudson Valley, only a small number hold active Master Elite status at any given time.

GKontos Roofing & Exterior Specialists has served residential and commercial property owners across Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Wappingers Falls, Hopewell Junction, and communities throughout Dutchess and Westchester counties for more than two decades. The company installs asphalt, metal, cedar, rubber, and flat roofing systems, and offers free estimates and 0% financing on qualifying projects.

“Earning and maintaining GAF Master Elite certification reflects the standard we hold ourselves to on every project,” said George Kontogiannis, owner at GKontos Roofing & Exterior Specialists. “Hudson Valley homeowners deserve to know that the contractor they trust with their roof can back that work with the strongest warranty protection the industry offers.”

The company accepts inquiries through its Poughkeepsie office and provides free, no-obligation evaluations for homeowners across Dutchess, Westchester, Ulster, and Orange counties.
