FAQ

GAF Shingles Wilmington NC Questions

What does GAF certification mean for me as a homeowner?

It means GAF has vetted and authorized us to register enhanced manufacturer warranties that most roofers cannot offer, and that our crew is trained specifically on GAF's installation requirements. In practice, it is the difference between a roof that just looks installed and one that is installed correctly enough to keep the warranty valid.

What warranty comes with a GAF Timberline HDZ roof?

Timberline HDZ shingles carry a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty and, installed to spec, up to a 130 MPH wind warranty. As a certified installer, we can register an enhanced version of that warranty on qualifying installs at no extra registration cost to you.

What is the Timberline HDZ shingle line?

Timberline HDZ is GAF's flagship architectural shingle and the most-installed shingle line in North America. It combines a dimensional, shadow-line look with strong wind performance, which is why it is our default recommendation for Wilmington homes.

What installation requirements does GAF require to keep the warranty valid?

GAF specifies exact requirements for starter strip placement, nailing pattern, ridge cap installation, and attic ventilation. Skip any one of these and the enhanced warranty is not valid, even if the roof looks fine from the curb. We install to that spec on every job, which is what lets us register the enhanced coverage.

What wind rating do GAF shingles carry in coastal North Carolina?

Installed to manufacturer spec, GAF Timberline HDZ shingles carry up to a 130 MPH wind warranty, suitable for the wind exposure along the Cape Fear coast.

Why does GAF certification matter versus an uncertified installer?

An uncertified installer can still buy and install GAF shingles, but they cannot register the enhanced warranty coverage, and GAF has not vetted their installation practices. If the workmanship falls short of spec, on nailing pattern or ventilation, you may find that out only when you file a claim. Certification is GAF's own quality check on the installer, not just the material.
