Before we break down and learn more about the GAF roofing system, let’s quickly discuss; who is GAF?

GAF is a roofing shingle manufacturer based in North America ( United States and Canada). GAF was incorporated the same year as Coca-Cola in 1886. The GAF acronym stands for General Aniline & Film. Since the beginning, GAF has always been recognized for being a top performance manufacturer in residential and commercial roofing projects. Homeowners love GAF because GAF was the first company to introduce the architectural shingles we all have on our homes today. Prior to that, most asphalt shingles were three tab shingles and did not have the dimension and look that shingles have today.

GAF most famous roofing products:

• GAF Timberline HDZ shingles
• GAF Timberline Ultra HD shingles

GAF roofing shingles undergo extreme testing in severe weather to determine the performance of the songs in high winds and heavy storms. All GAF shingles as of 2022 come with an unlimited wind damage warranty. GAF was also one of the very first companies to warranty the whole roofing system on behalf of the homeowner. GAF offers one of the strongest warranties ( GAF GOLDEN PLEDGE), this warranty not only protects the roof, but also the workmanship for a duration of 25 years.
