Why GAF Shingles Are the Standard for Quality Roofing in Texas

Whaley Construction Group’s Guide to America’s Leading Roofing Brand

When you’re replacing a roof in Texas, it’s not just about aesthetics — it’s about performance, protection, and peace of mind. At Whaley Construction Group, we don’t just install shingles; we install systems that are built to last in a state where the weather doesn’t play fair. That’s why we trust GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer and a name synonymous with quality, innovation, and industry-leading warranties.

Below, we break down what makes GAF the gold standard — and why it matters for your home.

A Legacy Built on Trust: The History of GAF

Founded in 1886, GAF (originally General Aniline & Film) has over 130 years of experience in roofing innovation. What began as a chemical and film company evolved into one of the most dominant players in residential and commercial roofing. Today, 1 in 4 homes in the U.S. is protected by a GAF roof.

That’s not just popularity — that’s earned trust on a national scale.

Why We Recommend GAF to Our Texas Clients

1. Proven Durability in Texas Weather

Hailstorms. Torrential rain. High UV exposure. Texas roofs take a beating. GAF’s top-tier lines like Timberline® HDZ and Timberline® UHDZ™ are engineered to withstand wind gusts up to 130 mph and are eligible for Class A fire ratings — the highest available.

2. Advanced Technology for Real-World Protection

  • LayerLock™ Technology: Ensures that every shingle is mechanically fastened and wind-resistant.
  • StainGuard® Protection: Keeps your roof looking clean by resisting algae discoloration.
  • Dura Grip™ Adhesive: Bonds shingles tightly to prevent blow-offs, even in extreme weather.

3. The Industry’s Strongest Warranties

Only GAF Master Elite® Contractors — a certification earned by just 2% of roofers nationwide — can offer the Golden Pledge® Warranty, covering:

  • 50 years of material defect protection
  • 25 years of workmanship coverage

As a certified GAF installer, Whaley Construction Group proudly offers this warranty with every eligible roof we install.

Design That Elevates Curb Appeal

GAF isn’t just about protection — it's about presence. With color blends inspired by nature and rich architectural depth, GAF shingles give homeowners a luxury look without the premium price tag.

Some of the most popular GAF styles in Texas include:

  • Charcoal Timberline HDZ® – Classic and bold
  • Weathered Wood – Blends seamlessly with Texas landscapes
  • Birchwood & Shakewood – For a softer, rustic tone

Sustainable Roofing That Lasts

GAF leads the industry in recyclable roofing materials and low-emission manufacturing practices. Their EnergyCap™ rated products can help homeowners save on cooling costs — a huge plus in our hot Texas summers.
