Advanced Protection Shingles | GAF Timberline

Not all shingles offered by roofing contractors are made equal. Take GAF Timberline® Lifetime shingles, for example. Compared to other roofing options, our shingles are protected by GAF’s unique Advanced Protection® Shingle Technology. What is this technology, and how can it benefit you? Let Lankford Roofing & Construction LLC discuss its advantages below.

Durability

Owing to the technology that goes into manufacturing GAF Timberline shingles, you are guaranteed to have an incredibly durable roofing option for your home. Better weather resistance, thanks to an improved top asphalt layer, greatly slows down the effect of wear and tear on your roof while premium limestone and low-profile fiberglass mats improve the shingles’ wind resistance.

Cost Efficiency

Asphalt shingle roofing is already a cost-effective option, but our GAF Timberline shingles installed by only the top roof repair contractors like us take it one step further. Due to its enhanced durability, GAF Timberline shingles have a lower overall maintenance cost. This translates into long-term savings and an improvement in value over time.

Better for Nature

Unlike many shingle roofing options, Advanced Protection shingles are designed to help reduce a home’s impact on the environment. Timberline shingles use up fewer resources during the manufacturing process, and the end-product can be repurposed into other asphalt-based commodities. Contrast this to other roofing materials that simply congest landfills at the end of their lifespan.

Installed by Professionals

Like other home improvements, such as window replacement, high-quality shingles work best when installed by certified experts. This is why experts recommend having Timberline shingles exclusively installed by certified contractors like Lankford Roofing & Construction LLC. This ensures that the shingles maximize their benefits as intended by the manufacturer and you have access to their strongest applicable warranties.

How to compare GAF shingle lines on a roofing quote

GAF sells several shingle lines, so two quotes that both say “GAF” can describe quite different roofs. When you compare quotes, look for these details in writing.

1. The exact product name and color. Timberline shingles come in more than one version, with different thickness, looks and wind ratings. The quote should name the one being installed.
2. The accessories. Starter strips, hip and ridge caps, leak barrier, underlayment and ventilation all affect how the roof performs, and GAF’s stronger system warranties depend on using qualifying GAF parts.
3. The warranty level. GAF’s enhanced warranties are offered only through contractors GAF has certified, so ask which one applies and who registers it.
4. Algae resistance. Shady, humid spots grow dark streaks, and some lines carry stain protection for longer than others.
