Roofing systems
A GAF roof is a complete assembly — deck protection, leak barriers, starter, field shingles, ridge cap and ventilation, each built to work with the next. That is what makes the strongest warranties in the category possible.
GAF's #1-selling architectural shingle, built with LayerLock® Technology for a mechanically fastened bond.
GAF's most dimensional laminated shingle, finished with the Dual Shadow Line for depth you can read from the curb.
Slate, shake and wood profiles for homes where the roof is the architecture — without the weight or the upkeep.
Solar built into the roof itself — nailed down like a shingle, generating power without racks or panels sitting on top.
A complete premium metal roofing system — field shingles, hip & ridge cap, drip edge, rake flashing and ridge vents.
Attic ventilation and flashing built to outlast the roof around it — including the all-metal Pivot™ Pipe Boot Flashing.
Low-slope roofing and waterproofing assemblies for buildings that cannot afford a leak, backed by GAF's commercial support line.
The same protective-coatings expertise that began with waterproof paints in 1886, applied at ground level.
Every roof is quoted, not priced off a shelf. Pitch, deck condition, tear-off, ventilation and the system you choose all move the number — so we scope it properly and put it in writing.

In 2011 GAF became the first roofing manufacturer to offer a Lifetime† Limited Warranty on all of its laminated shingles. The enhanced warranties below are registered by certified contractors on qualifying GAF systems.
50 years of non-prorated material coverage plus 25 years of workmanship protection — extended to 30 years on GAF designer shingles.
The first wind warranty for roofing shingles with no maximum wind speed limitation. Available on qualifying LayerLock® systems.
An enhanced coverage tier registered by GAF-certified contractors on qualifying GAF roofing systems.
Standard coverage across GAF's laminated shingle lines — a category first when GAF introduced it in 2011.
Master Elite® contractors sit in the top 3% of GAF-certified roofers in the United States — the only contractors authorized to register the Golden Pledge® and WindProven™ warranties, and the only ones approved to install Timberline Solar™. Certification requires demonstrated installation quality, ongoing training, maintained insurance minimums and a clean regulatory record.
