When it comes to protecting your home, few investments are as important as your roof. At Grand Rising Exteriors, we proudly offer GAF shingles — one of the most trusted names in roofing — because they deliver industry-leading performance, durability, and value. Beyond high-quality products, GAF goes a step further with customer programs like Roofs for Troops and generous Lifetime Limited Warranties, making them an exceptional choice for homeowners seeking peace of mind and lasting protection.
In this blog, we’ll break down why GAF is a name you can trust, explore their military appreciation program, and highlight the features that set their shingles apart.

GAF Shingles: Innovation and Excellence in Every Layer
GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and their reputation is built on cutting-edge technology, premium materials, and unmatched reliability. Here’s why homeowners and contractors alike prefer GAF:
- Advanced Protection® Shingle Technology
GAF’s patented Advanced Protection® technology optimizes each shingle for toughness, flexibility, and granule adhesion. This means better protection against wind, hail, and rain. - StainGuard® Plus Algae Protection
GAF shingles feature built-in algae resistance, helping to maintain the curb appeal of your roof for years to come. - WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty
GAF offers the industry’s first wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limit when you install GAF shingles with GAF roofing accessories. That’s unparalleled peace of mind against the most unpredictable storms. - Wide Selection of Styles and Colors
From bold architectural designs to classic three-tab styles, GAF offers a diverse range of aesthetics to suit any home style and personal taste.


Roofs for Troops: GAF’s Way of Saying “Thank You” to the Military
GAF is deeply committed to supporting the U.S. military community through their Roofs for Troops program. Here’s how it works:

$250 Rebate for Active Military, Veterans, and Retirees
Qualified individuals who install a GAF roofing system (including at least three qualifying GAF accessories) and purchase a GAF Lifetime Roofing System are eligible for a $250 rebate.
Simple, Straightforward Process
Homeowners just need to hire a GAF-certified contractor (like Grand Rising Exteriors), have their roof installed, and submit a rebate claim online or by mail within the specified time window.
A Small Token of a Big Thank You
It’s a genuine way for GAF to show appreciation for those who have served and continue to serve our country.
At Grand Rising Exteriors, we are honored to participate in this program and proudly assist military families in upgrading their homes with premium GAF roofing systems.
GAF’s Lifetime Limited Warranties: Protection You Can Count On
One of the strongest selling points of choosing GAF shingles is the Lifetime Limited Warranty that comes with qualifying roofing systems. Here’s what makes it stand out:
• Lifetime Coverage on Shingles
When you install any GAF Lifetime Shingle along with at least three qualifying GAF accessories, you automatically qualify for a Lifetime Limited Warranty on your shingles.
• Non-Prorated Coverage Period
GAF’s Smart Choice® Protection Period offers non-prorated coverage during the critical early years when problems are most likely to occur.
• Optional Enhanced Warranties
Homeowners can upgrade to System Plus, Silver Pledge, or Golden Pledge warranties, offering longer coverage periods, enhanced protection, and in the case of the Golden Pledge, a 25-year workmanship warranty backed by GAF themselves — not just the contractor.
• Transferable Coverage
GAF warranties are transferable, adding significant resale value to your home should you ever decide to sell.

Additional Features and Benefits of GAF Roofing Systems
• Energy Efficiency
Many GAF shingles are ENERGY STAR® certified, meaning they can help reduce cooling costs by reflecting more of the sun’s rays.
• Impact Resistance Options
Certain GAF products, like Timberline® AS II shingles, offer Class 4 impact resistance — the highest rating available — which may qualify for insurance discounts.
• Environmentally Conscious
GAF is committed to sustainable practices, offering recycling programs and shingles that contribute to LEED points for green building projects.
