GAF is the roof we install most often here, mostly for unglamorous reasons: the Timberline family is stocked at every local supply house, the colors stay in production, and a repair five years from now can still be matched. That matters more than it sounds.
Availability moves with the market. We confirm the exact line, color, and written warranty in your proposal before anything is ordered.
The workhorse architectural shingle and the default on most of our replacements. Wide nailing zone, which is exactly where sloppy installs go wrong.
Most installedA thicker, heavier profile in the same family. Noticeably more shadow line from the curb, at a step up in price.
UpgradeThe impact-rated option (UL 2218 Class 4). Worth pricing if your home has taken hail or your carrier rates impact-resistant roofs differently.
Impact-ratedOversized tabs that read as a wood shake from the street. A designer line, priced accordingly.
DesignerSculpted, slate-look luxury shingle for homes where the roof is part of the architecture.
LuxuryThe 3-tab. Flat profile, lowest cost, still a legitimate choice on rentals and tight budgets.
Value / 3-tabGAF colors stay in production longer than most. A repair years from now is far less likely to look like a patch.
Every Houston-area supply house carries the Timberline family, so storm season doesn't turn into a six-week wait.
Starter, hip and ridge, leak barrier, and ventilation all come from the same line, so the components are made to work together.
A free, documented inspection tells us the pitch, layers, decking condition, and ventilation you're starting from.
We show you two or three realistic lines side by side — what each costs, and what the difference actually buys.
You see physical samples in daylight against your own brick, and we check any HOA requirement before ordering.
We install to the manufacturer's specification and hand you the written manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
For most homes, yes. It is the shingle we install most, and installed correctly with balanced ventilation it performs well here. Where we would push you to look higher is hail history or a long stay in the home.
Weight and shadow line. UHDZ is a thicker shingle with a deeper look from the curb. It is a visual and durability upgrade, not a different category of product.
Yes — Timberline AS II. Ask your insurer what an impact-rated roof does to your premium first, then we'll quote it beside the standard option so you can compare real numbers.
