Why Choose GAF Asphalt Shingles?
Proven Strength in NZ Conditions
GAF shingles are built to withstand the challenges of New Zealand’s weather. From heavy rain and coastal winds to strong UV exposure, GAF products have advanced engineering that holds up year after year. Many GAF shingles are rated for high and extra high wind zones, making them ideal for Auckland homes exposed to strong coastal or hilltop winds.
Exceptional Colour Stability
GAF shingles are manufactured with colour-lock granules that minimise fading over time. This means your roof keeps its rich, attractive appearance for many years. If you prefer deep charcoal, warm browns or contemporary greys, GAF shingles maintain their finish exceptionally well.
Advanced Algae and Moss Resistance
With built-in algae resistant technology, GAF shingles help keep your roof looking clean. This is especially important in New Zealand’s damp and shaded areas where moss and lichen can develop. GAF’s copper infused granules help prevent dark streaks and organic growth, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Superior Wind Ratings
GAF’s premium shingles offer wind ratings up to approximately 200 km per hour when installed to specification, giving homeowners confidence during severe storms. Their layered construction and enhanced adhesive strips help lock each shingle in place so the roof stays protected in rough weather.
Versatile Styles and Colours
From traditional three-tab shingles to dimensional and architectural profiles, GAF offers a wide range of designs to suit any home. Shingles can imitate the look of cedar or slate at a fraction of the price. This flexibility allows you to choose a style that complements your home’s architecture and boosts overall curb appeal.
Quieter, More Comfortable Homes
Shingle roofs reduce rain noise significantly compared to long run metal roofing. GAF shingles, paired with a solid plywood substrate and underlay, create a quieter indoor environment. They also offer better thermal performance than many roofing types, helping keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Long Term Value
GAF shingles are tested extensively for durability and come with strong manufacturer warranties. Many architectural options offer 30 year to lifetime limited warranties when installed as part of a full roofing system. Combined with our expert shingle roofing installation, you receive excellent long term value and peace of mind.
Our GAF Shingle Installation Process
Roof Assessment and Planning
We begin with a detailed inspection of your existing roof or an assessment of your plans for a new build. We help you choose the right GAF shingle profile and colour to suit your home.
Roof Deck Preparation
GAF shingles must be installed on a solid plywood deck. For new builds, we work with your builder to ensure the structure is ready. For re-roofs, we remove the old materials, repair any damaged timber and install high quality plywood sheathing.
Underlay and Flashing Installation
We install a premium roofing underlay across the entire deck for moisture protection. All valleys, edges and penetrations receive metal flashings to ensure your roof is watertight.
GAF Shingle Installation
Our licensed installers lay each shingle in overlapping rows and secure them using corrosion resistant nails. We follow GAF and BRANZ specifications to guarantee a long lasting and durable finish.
Ridge Caps and Ventilation
Matching GAF ridge caps complete the system for a clean, seamless look. We can also integrate ridge vents or gable vents to improve airflow and prevent moisture build up inside the roof space.
Final Inspection and Clean Up
We inspect every part of the new roof to ensure it meets our strict quality standards. Once completed, we leave your property clean, tidy and ready to enjoy.

GAF Asphalt Shingles: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes GAF asphalt shingles different from other brands?
GAF is one of the world’s largest and most trusted roofing manufacturers. Their shingles are engineered for superior strength, advanced wind ratings, enhanced UV protection and long lasting colour stability. Features like algae resistant granules and strong adhesive seal strips make GAF shingles ideal for New Zealand homes exposed to sun, rain and wind.
Are GAF shingles suitable for New Zealand’s climate?
Yes. GAF shingles perform exceptionally well in New Zealand’s varying weather. They resist high winds, heavy rain, UV rays and coastal conditions. Many GAF shingle lines are rated for high and extra high wind zones when installed to specification, making them a strong choice for Auckland and coastal regions.
How long do GAF asphalt shingles last?
Most GAF architectural shingles offer a lifespan of 30 years or more when installed correctly. Premium ranges include limited lifetime manufacturer warranties. With proper ventilation and periodic maintenance, GAF shingles provide long term performance similar to higher cost roofing materials.
Will GAF shingles help reduce noise inside my home?
Yes. Shingle roofs naturally absorb sound far better than long run metal roofing. When combined with a solid plywood substrate and quality underlay, GAF shingles significantly reduce noise from heavy rain and wind, creating a quieter and more comfortable home.
Are GAF shingles resistant to algae, moss and fading?
GAF shingles include specially engineered copper infused algae resistant granules that help prevent dark streaks, moss and lichen growth. Their colour locked mineral granules provide strong UV protection, helping the roof maintain its appearance for many years.
Can GAF shingles be installed on my current roof structure?
GAF shingles can be installed on most pitched roofs. They require a solid plywood deck and a minimum roof pitch, which we assess during our initial inspection. If you have an existing metal roof, concrete tiles or older shingles, we can advise on the best conversion method for your home.
What kind of warranty do GAF shingles come with?
GAF offers industry leading manufacturer warranties between 30 years and lifetime coverage depending on the product line. When installed by trained professionals, you receive both the manufacturer warranty and our workmanship guarantee for full peace of mind.
Are GAF shingles suitable for rainwater harvesting?
Yes. High quality roofing shingles, including many GAF options, can be used for rainwater collection when paired with appropriate filtration and first flush systems. We can advise whether the specific GAF product selected is suitable for your water use requirements.
