Before installing the new materials, GAF-certified professionals will carefully assess the existing roof structure. They will then tear off the old material down to the decking. This step allows contractors to detect and address any underlying damage before installing the new system. It can help create a sound foundation for the new roof.
The next step is to install leak barriers and roof deck protection. GAF’s WeatherWatch® and Shingle-Mate® or VersaShield® are used to cover the entire roof deck. These products offer superior protection against leaks, especially in vulnerable areas like valleys.
Starter strips safeguard the roof against edge leaks. They create a robust barrier against wind damage. While it might seem minor, this component is vital to the roofing system’s longevity and performance.
Aside from looking aesthetically pleasing, GAF shingles offer excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions. They are the centerpiece of the GAF roofing system. Certified installers will secure these shingles with precision, ensuring your home remains safe for years to come.
Good airflow in your attic is necessary for indoor comfort and a long-lasting roofing system. The GAF system incorporates Cobra® attic ventilation products. They can prevent heat and moisture buildup in your attic, protecting other roofing components from early deterioration. Moreover, proper attic ventilation reduces the likelihood of ice dams, mold growth and rot.
Instead of cut-up shingles, GAF has specialized ridge cap shingles to give the system a more finished look. These shingles can also contribute to a more effective roof ventilation system.
