Comparing a GAF roofing system to a standard roof

When you choose GAF materials over standard roofing materials, you will be able to take advantage of the GAF roofing system. This roofing system differs from standard roofing options because it is designed to all work together in unison, rather than simply being installed and expecting to work. A GAF roofing system is a lifetime roof where every component works together to give you the ultimate in protection.

Most of these roofing systems include four to six components that not only make your roof stronger and more attractive, but also guarantee longevity with warranties of up to 50 years! These roofing components are installed in a very specific order and manner to ensure quality protection and longevity for your roof. For this reason, it is necessary to have a GAF Master Elite certified roofer place them. Anyone else won’t have the correct materials, skill, or certification to do the job properly. 

What is a GAF system

A standard roof put on by other contractors who do not have the elite level of certification that Stay Dry Roofing has will still protect your home, but you will not have the peace-of-mind nor warranties you can get with a GAF roofing system. With a standard roof, you may not have all the protections put in place that make a complete roofing system. This means that there can be weak points in your roof or areas that can be easily compromised by a big storm or any damage. If you plan on keeping a home or business safe for years, choosing a GAF roofing system is one of the best decisions you can make. 

Aspects that make up a GAF roofing system

  • Quality asphalt shingles
  • Roof deck protection
  • Leak barriers
  • Ridge vents
  • Starter strip shingles

Peace of mind for life

The roof over your home or business is a crucial aspect that many people take for granted. Without it, you and your belongings are exposed to the elements. And in Florida, having a roof you can trust and rely on is even more important during hurricane season! With a GAF roofing system, you won’t have to worry about wind or damage to your roof due to faulty or cheap materials, as everything is covered for virtually a lifetime! If there is any problem, you can get it repaired without spending a penny!
