Most leaks don’t come from the shingle surface; they start at the eaves, valleys, vents, or attic. A complete roofing system—deck protection, starter strips, field shingles, ridge vents, and proper flashing—works like overlapping armour. When each layer is engineered by the same manufacturer (GAF) and installed by a single certified crew (Resilience Roofing), you end up with:
One warranty, zero finger-pointing. GAF’s Golden Pledge® coverage means materials and workmanship are handled by the same company for up to 50 years.
Vancouver-proof durability. LeakBarrier® ICE & WATER SHIELD seals nail penetrations against wind-driven rain and mountain snow-melt.
Efficient ventilation. RidgeCap® vents and Cobra® exhaust keep attic temps stable, cutting energy bills and preventing winter condensation.
That’s why we talk about roofing systems Vancouver residents can trust—not just “new shingles.”
GAF’s Timberline HDZ® shingle isn’t the country’s #1 seller by accident. Three patented features make it perfect for the Lower Mainland:
A 1.81-inch reinforced strip doubles the nail target, so every fastener pulls through the toughest part of the shingle. That precision unlocks the WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty with no maximum wind speed—ideal when Pineapple Express systems roll in off the Pacific.
GAF engineers remove excess limestone filler and keep only what boosts strength, giving you Class A fire resistance and a lighter shingle that’s easier on older rafters.
Copper-infused granules release gradually over 25 years, stopping the black streaks so common on North Shore roofs.
Together, those features let your new roof shrug off sideways rain, UV fade, and freeze-thaw cycles—while looking sharp in any of the colour families you explored in the Timberline HDZ Shingles widget above.
Timberline HDZ is Vancouver’s sweet spot for value vs. lifespan. Inside the widget you can:
Spin every colour against real-life backdrops.
Zoom the LayerLock™ nailing zone that unlocks GAF’s unlimited wind-speed warranty when installed as a system.
Compare algae-fighting granules side-by-side.
Installed as a complete system, Timberline HDZ shingles average 30–35 years before showing end-of-life wear, and UHDZ shingles often stretch beyond 40. The Golden Pledge® warranty covers 50 years on materials and up to 30 years on labour, so you’re protected for the roof’s entire life span.
Proper attic ventilation and DeckArmor® underlayment keep airflow moving. In fact, some homeowners choose darker hues to accelerate snow melt during our occasional cold snaps.
Absolutely. GAF shingles meet the wind-uplift and weatherproofing requirements many solar installers specify. Let us know early, and we’ll coordinate flashing locations for conduit runs.
Absolutely—provided your contractor follows GAF’s cold-weather guidelines. Timberline® shingles can go on when temperatures dip below 5 °C, but the crew must hand-seal each shingle tab with four quarter-size dabs of asphalt adhesive and store bundles warm (above 21 °C) until use. Expect full self-sealing once the roof has seen several sunny days.
