GAF Reflector Series Shingles: The Darkest Reflective Shingle on the Market

The newest line of reflective asphalt shingles designed by GAF, the Timberline HDZ® Reflector Series, can give your home both enhanced protection from the elements, and curb appeal. The roofing shingles, available in stylish dark colors, create an attractive aesthetic that can be used to comply with certain code requirements for reflectivity. This is particularly important in California, where state building codes like Title 24 and local regulations like the Los Angeles County Green Building Code require specific roof reflectivity to help conserve energy.

    Interested in a Roof Warranty? Here's What to Know

    Installing a new roof that will protect your home and family for years to come is a major investment. That's why it's important to have adequate roof warranty protection once the job is complete. While most reputable roofing manufacturers provide basic warranty coverage against manufacturing defects in the roofing materials, it's often better to choose enhanced warranties that also cover installation. These warranties are available through your roofing contractor or manufacturer, and they're transferrable should you sell your house.

Having a quality and well-maintained roof isn't something to treat lightly, especially when you're looking to sell your property.
