Why Choose GAF Roofing?
Choosing a new roof involves more than selecting a shingle color. The shingles, underlayment, starter strips, leak protection, ventilation and ridge-cap components all work together as part of the roofing system.
GAF offers roofing products ranging from popular architectural shingles to premium and impact-resistant options.
Southern Exterior Construction can help you compare available GAF products based on:
Appearance
Choose from available architectural shingle styles and colors designed to complement your home's exterior.
Impact Resistance
GAF offers qualifying Timberline shingles with UL 2218 Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistance ratings, giving homeowners options when impact resistance is an important consideration. GAF
Roofing-System Components
A complete roofing system can include shingles, roof deck protection, leak barriers, starter strips, ridge-cap shingles and ventilation components.
Warranty Options
Available GAF warranty coverage depends on the products selected, qualifying accessories, installation and other warranty requirements.
Budget
We'll help you compare available GAF roofing options so you can balance appearance, features, performance and project cost.
GAF Timberline® Shingles for North Alabama Homes
North Alabama roofs face intense sun, heat, heavy rain, wind, hail and severe thunderstorms.
GAF's Timberline family provides several roofing options for homeowners looking for architectural shingles with different performance features and price points.
Southern Exterior Construction can inspect your existing roof, discuss your priorities and show you the GAF products currently available for your roofing project.
GAF Class 4 Roofing Options
Homeowners interested in increased impact resistance can also consider available GAF Class 4 shingles.
Class 4 is the highest classification under the UL 2218 impact-resistance test.
Two current GAF Class 4 options include:
Timberline® ArmorShield™ II
Timberline ArmorShield II uses SBS-modified asphalt designed to provide increased flexibility and impact resistance. It passes the UL 2218 Class 4 Impact-Resistance Test.
Timberline UHDZ® with UltraMat™
Timberline UHDZ with UltraMat is a premium GAF laminate shingle featuring UltraMat high-performance fiberglass mat technology, a Class 4 impact-resistance rating and GAF's Dual Shadow Line appearance.
Class 3 vs. Class 4 GAF Shingles
Class 3 and Class 4 ratings measure impact resistance — not wind speed.
Class 4 represents a higher UL 2218 impact-resistance classification than Class 3.
For North Alabama homeowners concerned about hail and severe storms, comparing impact-resistant roofing options may be worthwhile.
GAF notes that qualifying Class 3 and Class 4 shingles may qualify for insurance discounts, but availability and savings depend on the insurer and location. Homeowners should verify any potential discount directly with their insurance company.
A simple way to compare three popular GAF choices is:
Timberline HDZ®
