A roof replacement is an investment that you shouldn’t hesitate on. Since your roof protects your interior the most, you shouldn’t pick anything but the best as a replacement. While you have no shortage of roofing options, there is one roof that you should consider above all else: the GAF Lifetime roofing system.
In this post, Expert Contracting discusses the six components that make up a GAF Lifetime roofing system.
-
Leak Barriers – The leak barriers of the GAF Lifetime roofing system prevents it from facing leaks due to wind-driven rain. This is thanks to the extra layer of protection it provides between your roof’s deck and its shingles. When picking a leak barrier, you can choose between StormGuard® and WeatherWatch®.

Roof Deck Protection – Similar to the leak barriers, the roof deck protection gives your roof an extra layer of protection between the shingles and deck. The ShingleMate® roof deck protection product is a fiberglass reinforced protection layer that prevents wind-driven rain from infiltrating your shingles and causing damage that requires the attention of roof repair pros. VersaShield®, on the other hand, improves your roof’s fire resistance and gives an extra layer of moisture protection between the material and deck.
