Conventional shingles rely on basic asphalt sealant strips that activate inconsistently, especially in the cooler temperatures common during Long Island’s fall and spring roofing season. Partial activation leaves shingles vulnerable to wind uplift along their unsealed edges.
HDZ shingles with LayerLock® are rated to handle winds up to 130 mph. When installed with qualifying GAF accessories, the WindProven™ warranty removes the speed cap entirely, giving Long Island homeowners protection with no upper limit.
With a clear target on every shingle, experienced crews work significantly faster. For homeowners, this translates to shorter project timelines and potentially lower labor costs on a full roof replacement.
Advanced technology and industry-leading coverage for absolute peace of mind.

The only roofing warranty with no maximum wind speed. When HDZ shingles are installed alongside required GAF accessories, your roof is covered against wind damage regardless of storm intensity.

Goes beyond adhesive. The mechanical interlocking system holds shingle layers together structurally, delivering wind performance that adhesive-only systems cannot replicate.

Copper and zinc granules are built directly into each shingle. These minerals actively prevent algae colonization, keeping your roof clean and streak-free for 25 years, backed by a written warranty.

A high-performance sealant that locks each shingle firmly to the roof deck. Even in sustained gale-force winds, DuraGrip keeps shingles from lifting at the edges where blow-off typically begins.
Roofs in Long Island should be inspected at least once a year and after major storms. Regular inspections help identify potential issues like leaks or damage before they become costly problems.
