Why We Use GAF Shingles

-
Advanced Weather Protection: GAF shingles are engineered to stand up to all types of harsh weather, including wind, rain, and snow.
-
StainGuard® Technology: Shingles made with GAF's StainGuard® technology resist the algae that can stain your roof an ugly bluish-green.
-
Durability: GAF's high performance shingles are built to last, giving you peace of mind that your home is protected for years to come.
Signs It's Time to Replace Your Roof
Roofs typically last between 25 and 50 years, but it's important to note that the lifespan of a roof can vary greatly depending on the quality and type of material used. For instance, asphalt shingles can generally last around 20–30 years for standard architectural shingles, while premium shingles are known to endure even longer, often lasting between 25–40 years. However, these are some signs your roof needs to be replaced sooner:
1. Frequent Leaks & Water Damage
These indicate that your roof is failing to protect your home from moisture and water incursion.
2. Visible Damage:
Missing shingles, warping, curling, or other damage can indicate a need for replacement.
3. Granule Loss:
If you find asphalt granules in your gutters or downspout, this is a sign that your shingles are deteriorating.
4. Sagging Rooflines
A sagging roofline is a sign of possible structural issues that require roof replacement.
5. Increased Energy Bills
Replacing your roof can provide better energy efficiency and prevent heat loss.
For a roof that lasts, choose a professional installer and quality roofing materials. Regular inspections and maintenance can further extend the life of your roofing system, helping you to avoid costly repairs and keeping your home or business safe and secure for years to come.
