If you’d like to replace the roof on your New Jersey home, the pros at Victory Home Remodeling recommend investing in GAF shingles. Shingles by GAF are on more homes in North America than any other roofing product, and GAF is the largest and most recognized roofing brand in the world. It has innovated many of the shingle options that are now taken for granted, and GAF continues to deliver products that stand the test of time and provide a great return on investment.

GAF is a manufacturing company based in New Jersey that specializes in roofing materials for both residential and commercial applications. It traces its roots back to 1886 and developed the first ready-to-lay asphalt roofing product in 1892. In the late 1960s, the company introduced its Timberline series, which remains today the most popular residential roofing material in North America. GAF shingles continue to set industry standards for performance, durability, consumer options, and warranties.
There are many reasons why GAF shingles are so widely used, and they begin with pricing. GAF offers products for all budget levels at competitive prices, and even if you choose one of the more economical shingles, you can expect an excellent return on your investment. These shingles are suitable for all styles of homes and all climates, including here in the Northeast where roofing materials take a great deal of abuse, and GAF stands behind its products with industry-leading standards and extended warranties.
Roofing is a big business, and there are many different brands and product lines out there for you to choose. GAF is the most prominent brand. Other trusted brands include CertainTeed and Owens Corning. When it comes to comparing GAF shingles against the competing products from those other top brands, warranty really is the biggest differentiator. The best GAF warranties are unmatched and can provide you peace of mind for up to 50 years.

Timberline is the most popular line of GAF shingles. Timberline is the number one selling roofing product in North America and has been for a very long time. This is an architectural shingle that is available in a wide range of colors. Timberline HD is the core product. Timberline HDZ adds algae resistance and more robust wind warranties. UHD shingles are even thicker and heavier than HDZ. There are also a number of UHD variants. NS stands for natural shadow, and Timberline NS provides an aesthetic alternative to UHD. AS stands for ArmorShield, and Timberline AS II offers Class 4 impact resistance and can result in savings on insurance premiums. Timberline CS or Cool Series shingles help to reduce energy costs, and Timberline HD RS or Reflector Series are similar to CS but comply with laws specific to California.
You also have the option of premium GAF shingles, which are deluxe architectural shingles often referred to as designer or luxury shingles. Grand Canyon provides a home with a wood-shake aesthetic. Camelot II delivers the attributes of European architecture. Slateline mimics natural slate. Woodland draws inspiration from traditional hand-cut wood shingles, and the Grand Sequoia series features oversized tabs that give a roof an even greater degree of dimension.
Homeowners can also opt for traditional three-tab GAF shingles, which are the most economical options offered by GAF. The two main GAF lines of three-tab shingles are Royal Sovereign and Marquis WeatherMax. Royal Sovereign offers a more extensive color range whereas Marquis WeatherMax provides a 30-year as opposed to a 25-year warranty.
GAF Master Elite is a certification that must be earned and maintained, and it’s prestigious as less than 2% of all roofing contractors in North America possess it. When you choose a GAF Master Elite contractor, you do so with the confidence that your roofer is highly trained and experienced with the product you’ve chosen but also has demonstrated ethical contracting practices and high levels of customer satisfaction while being licensed and insured in accordance with GAF’s high standards. In addition, while any roofing contractor can install GAF shingles, only a GAF Master Elite contractor can provide you with the best warranties that GAF offers.
At Victory, we do much more than just install GAF shingles and can design your new roofing system based on the unique needs of your home. That will, of course, include the tear-off and installation of new GAF shingles, but can also include the installation of a new moisture barrier and the replacement and/or addition of roof ventilation products and other GAF components.
