If you’ve lived in your home for more than twenty years, it’s likely that you’ll need to repair the shingles. Aged shingles and deteriorating flashing around your roof’s corners increase the risk of leaks and storm-related damage. When you realize the need for a new roof, speak with a reputable roofing contractor about GAF shingles.

In this blog, Goodrich Roofing shares the five reasons why a GAF roof is worth the investment.
1. Durable and Reliable Performance
A GAF roofing system is built to protect you and your family from the weather and the elements for a long time. In fact, there are numerous GAF roofing options that are rated to have superior fire and wind resistance. Some materials have longer lifespans or unique characteristics, such as the anti-algae StainGuard Plus™ coating.
2. Extensive Selection
GAF offers a wide array of asphalt shingles that help enhance the curb appeal of any home. The brand’s Timberline HD® shingles, for instance, provide a sophisticated appearance due to their ultra-dimensional wood shake appearance. In addition, GAF offers a variety of hues and textures, such as Weathered Wood and Mission Brown.
3. Complete Roofing System
A GAF roofing system consists of shingles and other components that work together to provide your home outstanding weather protection. These include a wide selection of attic ventilation, deck protection, starter strip shingles, leak barriers and ridge cap shingles.
4. Industry-Leading Warranties
Investing in a GAF roofing system means taking advantage of the brand’s solid warranties. As long as you work with a certified roofing contractor like us, you can be sure that your new roof has an added layer of protection. GAF’s Golden Pledge® exclusive warranty, for instance, comes with a 50-year coverage on materials and 25-year coverage on installation.
5. GAF Master Elite® Contractors
To get the most out of your new GAF roofing system, make sure you work with a roofer who holds Master Elite® certification. Contractors with this designation go through extensive testing and training to make sure they have the knowledge and abilities to install GAF products precisely.
