Video: Components of the GAF® Lifetime Roofing System

 Your roof isn’t just your shingles. It’s a complicated system with many parts that work together to protect your home. Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC can install the GAF® Lifetime Roofing System for your home. GAF designed their roofing products to complement each other and boost your roof’s performance. When we install these components together, your roof will be more durable, long-lasting, and beautiful.

  • Leak Barrier – This helps protect the most vulnerable areas of your roof. It is a self-adhering waterproof membrane that prevents wind-driven rain and overflowing gutters from damaging your roof. As an expert in roofing in Weston, FL, we’ll make sure to install a leak barrier in your roof valleys, rake edges, eaves. We’ll also install them around your vent pipes, dormers, chimneys, and skylights.
  • Roof Deck Protection – As a specialist in shingle and tile roofing in Hollywood, FL, we understand the importance of protecting your roof deck. We can install GAF’s Deck-Armor™ underlayment. This underlayment comes with a revolutionary breathable surface. It reduces trapped moisture in your attic, protects against wind-driven rain, and reduces the risk of blow-off. Deck-Armor provides longer lasting protection when compared with typical felt and complements our attic ventilation.
  • Starter Strip Shingles – As one of the top professionals in shingle and metal roofing in Ft Lauderdale, we highly recommend starter strip shingles. They will improve the performance of your GAF Lifetime Shingles, save time, and eliminate waste. They will also help you qualify for GAF’s upgraded wind coverage. Lastly, these starter strip shingles come in colors that will complement your shingles.
  • Lifetime Shingles – As a GAF Master Elite™ contractor, we can provide you the brand’s entire product line. You can choose from a variety shingle designs and colors. Do you have a home style that requires certain roof types? GAF can manufacture shingles that perfectly mimic the appearance of wood shake, clay tile, and slate. If energy efficiency and impact resistance are your concerns, GAF also has products for these needs.
  • Ridge Vent – This helps remove excess moisture and heat from your attic. The ridge vent prevents premature peeling of wallpaper and interior paint. It also prevents mold growth, mildew, and roof rot.
  • Ridge Cap Shingles – Finally, these protect against roof leaks and reinforce the most vulnerable areas of your roof. Ridge cap shingles also help accentuate the beauty of your shingles by adding dimension and depth. GAF provides four different varieties, each one able to create a different roof profile.

With the GAF Lifetime Roofing System, your roof will stay strong and beautiful for many years to come. In addition, installing a Lifetime Shingle and at least three of these components qualifies you for a Lifetime ltd. Warranty. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC can also upgrade this warranty into GAF’s strongest warranty: the Golden Pledge®. Call us at (954) 989-7794 to learn more about the GAF Lifetime Roofing System. You can also request for a quote.
