What went on this roof
GAF Timberline HDZ is a laminated architectural shingle built with GAF LayerLock Technology, which bonds the shingle layers together, and a wide StrikeZone nailing area that gives the installer a large, clearly marked target. Every one of our replacements is a system, not just shingles. On this roof, from the deck up:
- Synthetic underlayment, edge to edge. It doesn’t wrinkle or tear like felt, and it keeps the deck dry if a shower pops up mid-job.
- Self-sealing ice and water membrane where water concentrates. It seals around every nail driven through it, which matters in valleys and at the eaves.
- Factory starter strip along every edge. The first course is where wind gets under a roof. A factory starter with its own sealant line locks it down.
- GAF Hip & Ridge on the hips and peak. Matching cap shingles made for the job, not field shingles cut into pieces.
- Lomanco Omni Roll ridge vent. It runs along the peak and lets hot, damp attic air escape. That protects the decking and keeps shingles from baking from below.
