When you plan your roof replacement project, you’ll come across different roofing materials. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and whatever you choose will affect the longevity and performance of your new roof. If you cut corners by using poor-quality materials, you’ll need to do repairs more frequently. This is why you should maximize your investment by choosing a time-tested material.
As a reputable roofing contractor, Summit Roofing & Restoration, Inc. recommends GAF materials for roofing projects. Continue reading to find out why.
A Timeless Roofing Material
The popularity of asphalt shingles has increased dramatically over the past few decades. Apart from their affordability and versatility, this type of roofing material also offers ease of installation and maintenance. Asphalt shingles are available in a variety of styles, textures and colors. It’s no wonder they cover roughly 70 to 80% of residential roofs in the U.S. Standard shingles typically have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years, but depending on the material and quality, they can last up to 30 years.
Why Professionals Choose GAF
In addition to their durability, GAF roofing products are manufactured with solid materials that will last for decades. It has been proven that GAF shingles are dependable in a range of weather conditions, which is why many professional roofers recommend them for roof replacement projects. Their unrivaled quality and dependability make them an excellent choice for nearly any home style.
GAF shingles are also excellent for emergency roof repair if your home has recently been impacted by a severe storm. Installation is often straightforward and quick, depending on the size of the roof. Of course, this does not imply that you can do it yourself because only trained, experienced roofers can guarantee a successful installation.
Benefits of Choosing GAF Materials
The Roofing System Is Installed by GAF-Certified Professionals
In most cases, high-quality roof materials cannot be found in big box stores since they require additional training and certification to carry and install. If you’re thinking about getting a GAF roofing system for your home, make sure you only work with a professional roofing contractor who is trained and certified to carry and install GAF products correctly.
Summit Roofing & Restoration, Inc., for instance, is a GAF Master Elite® Roofing Contractor. This certification indicates that our team stays up to date on the latest roofing methods and techniques by attending ongoing training as part of GAF’s program. This ensures that the roofing projects are also compliant with current manufacturer standards. GAF-certified roofers are licensed and insured as well, so you are protected from fraud and liability.
Your Roofing Is Covered by a Comprehensive Warranty
A GAF roofing system is a significant financial commitment. To protect your investment, GAF offers excellent warranties on its products. Depending on the materials you choose, other brands can only provide warranties that cover materials for only three to 10 years. Workmanship coverage is typically limited in duration and may not cover certain labor fees, such as tear-off and disposal costs.
There is no better roofing contractor than GAF-certified roof replacement contractors because they can offer you strong warranties with amazing protections to ensure that your roof is of superior quality and will last a long time. We offer an extensive GAF warranty on every GAF product and service we offer. If you are considering a GAF roof, consider the following warranty options:
- GAF System Plus® Limited Warranty. Coverage is provided to homeowners whose roofing systems include qualifying GAF shingles and a minimum of three accessories. A GAF Master Elite roofer should also install it. GAF shingles come with a lifetime warranty as well as a 50-year Smart Choice® protection period. Roof tear-off costs are covered, and an algae warranty of 10 to 25 years is provided. You will also receive a wind warranty for up to 15 years.
- GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty. Roofing warranties like this are only available from certified contractors. It is subject to the same eligibility requirements as the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty and includes a lifetime warranty term with a 50-year Smart Choice protection period. You get algae and wind coverage as well as roof tear-off and disposal coverage. After installation, you’ll also get a 25-year workmanship warranty and a multi-point inspection by a GAF-certified inspector.
GAF Materials Are Designed for Various Home Styles
Even if you need an emergency roof repair or are restoring an old home, you can count on GAF to provide you with materials suitable for your home and needs. One of the main reasons why GAF roofing systems are popular among homeowners is the variety of shingle designs available. While other brands may offer similar varieties and styles, GAF provides a wider range of architectural, designer and specialty shingles. These shingles do more than just improve the curb appeal of your home because they meet different performance requirements based on your local climate.
GAF Materials Can Increase the Value of Your Home
It will be necessary for you to invest in some home improvements if you wish to sell your property. Your home can easily increase in value with certain projects, including roof replacement. You can make the most of this home improvement if you use well-known brands and high-quality materials. Potential buyers will be more interested in your home if it has a roofing system built with materials from a reputable manufacturer. Homebuyers prefer properties with desirable features that are worth the asking price. If this is what you’re looking for, a GAF roofing system is a superb option. Aside from its exceptional beauty and unparalleled performance, it also comes with a limited warranty that can be transferred to a new owner. Investing in a GAF roofing system for your home can help you make the most of your investment and enjoy exceptional protection for years to come.
