4 Reasons GAF® Has Earned the Good Housekeeping Seal

When investing in an exterior home improvement project, you’ll need to take into account the quality of the materials to be used. This is especially crucial in a large and complex investment such as roof replacement, where a defective material can compromise the system’s performance and shorten its lifespan. That’s why it pays to work with a reliable roof and door replacement company like Polk Contracting, who only carries the highest quality roofing systems from GAF®, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer.

As a GAF Certified Weather Stopper Roofing Contractor, Polk Contracting ensures the roofing options we offer from this excellent brand will allow for superior and long-lasting weather protection. In fact, GAF has recently been recognized with the Good Housekeeping Seal because of the following reasons:

1. Proven Performance. Good Housekeeping’s Engineering Lab has conducted an in-depth evaluation of GAF roofing shingles, confirming their exceptional durability and performance against the toughest wind and fire resistance tests. GAF shingles come with Advanced Protection® Technology, and have undergone up to 185 individual tests for strength, weather resistance, and longevity. Some can even withstand serious impact damage, helping guard your home from possible leaks.

2. Increased Energy Savings. Some GAF shingles come with cooling technology that helps lower energy costs up to 15%, while allowing for a more comfortable indoor environment. These shingles make this possible by reflecting sunlight and preventing heat buildup in the attic. Just make sure, however, that they’re installed by a trusted company like Polk Contracting. We are not just your local window and door contractor–we can also handle all your roof installation needs effectively.

3. High-End Design. Our GAF roofing shingles are available in a wide selection of colors, profiles, and thicknesses. They can even emulate the natural look and feel of more premium materials, such as slate and wood shakes–but at a fraction of the cost.

4. Incredible Versatility. No matter where you live, GAF roofing systems can effectively take on its specific climate, whether it’s the high heat in the South, or the frigid winds of the North. In fact, GAF has nearly 50 roofing products backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal, making it a proven option for many homes across the country.
