But what else is it about our roofing that makes homeowners choose our products?
Customers Love Our Supremely Durable Shingles
GAF shingle’s balance between weight and technology is simply the best that modern roofing materials can deliver.
The product comes in a variety of colors that add depth and dimension to the home, which increases curb appeal while improving property value. Our experienced roofing contractors know how to properly install shingles according to code and optimal performance.
For example, the use of staples is not recommended for roof installation, although it’s still practiced by some roofing companies today. The correct way to install roof shingles is with nails, which is the recommended technique by GAF.
Shingles that are installed with 10-12 gauge zinc-coated nails ensures to penetrate the roof deck by at least ¾”, which benefits the roof in the following ways:
- Increases wind-resistance tolerance. When shingles are stapled to the roof, the wind warranty likely will not apply. According to GAF, stapled shingles in laboratory testing had no effect in winds of up to 60 mph. This poses a big issue to New England homeowners, especially those who are living on the coast. During hurricane season, Category 5 hurricane force winds can reach 130+ mph.
- Prevents rain, snow, and ice from seeping into lower levels of the roofing system. The shingles serve as a barrier against the elements to keep the home dry.
- Helps the shingles last for a lifetime by ensuring that they remain attached to the roof.
GAF is America (and New England’s) #1 shingle. Homeowners love the way it looks and performs.
Ridge & Soffit Vents: Air Circulation for Lower Utility Bills
A new roof can keep a home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Every New England homeowner loves lower energy bills, and ridge and soffit vents contribute to keeping utility costs low.
Roof ventilation serves the following purposes:
- Prevents air from becoming trapped in the attic that makes the home feel hot in the summer. It can also cause problems such as bucking shingles.
- Prevents ice dam formation in the winter by drawing colder air inside and pushing out the warm air. If the roof is too warm in the winter, ice melts and collects around the gutter systems—which is the recipe for ice dams.
- Provides mold control by reducing condensation that may build up on the rafter beams.
Use both intake and outtake vents to ensure that airflow is properly entering, circulating, and exiting the home.
Roof Deck Protection for Quality Performance
Roof deck protection has a serious job to do. New England homeowners need quality, strong, and durable roof deck protection to reduce mold and mildew growth. It also reduces wrinkling and bucking of the shingles for a smooth appearance to the roof.
With GAF Deck Armor roof deck protection, homeowners can enjoy:
- Breathable roof protection with the Good Housekeeping Seal.
- Prevention of roof rot, which can happen when moisture gets trapped in the roof deck.
- A second layer of protection in addition to leak barrier protection—which is the product that protects from roof settling and extreme weather.
