With WindProven™ installation, GAF provides the only unlimited wind speed warranty in the industry. For Savannah and Tybee Island homes facing Atlantic hurricanes, this is the ultimate wind protection guarantee.
GAF FAQ
Common questions about GAF shingles and installation in Coastal Georgia.
What is GAF WindProven™ and how does it work?
WindProven™ is GAF's 15-year (for HDZ) or 30-year (for UHDZ) unlimited wind speed warranty — no maximum mph limit. It requires installation by a GAF Master Elite or Certified contractor (like Talya Roofing) using the complete GAF roofing system including starter strips, ridge caps, and leak barrier. It's the strongest wind warranty in the industry.
Which GAF shingle is best for hurricane zones?
GAF Timberline® HDZ® with WindProven™ installation provides an unlimited wind warranty. For maximum protection, we recommend combining it with GAF WeatherWatch® leak barrier and ProStart® starter strip for a complete hurricane-rated system.
How long does GAF StainGuard Plus™ algae protection last?
StainGuard Plus™ provides 25 years of algae protection (for HDZ), while StainGuard PRO™ provides 30 years (for UHDZ) using time-released copper-infused granules. Note: Atlas offers a lifetime algae warranty.
Is GAF roofing worth the premium price?
GAF typically costs a bit more than Atlas or TAMKO, but you get the WindProven™ unlimited wind warranty, America's most recognized brand, and excellent resale value. For homes in high-wind zones (Tybee, Wilmington Island), the wind warranty alone justifies the investment.
