Building a budget for your roof replacement? Make sure you’re getting the right price and the best options for your home.
Here’s where we at Ideal Roofing, Inc. go for top-quality roofing materials.
GAF
Reliable roofers know GAF as North America’s largest roofing and waterproofing manufacturer. They don’t pedal other businesses’ products–they innovate, create, and distribute their own. Which means the roofing materials they carry are often raising the standard for this entire industry.
Dedicated to homeowner education, GAF will connect you with a certified roofing contractor (like us), offer you storm damage resources, and walk you through roof warranty comparisons. If you want the full-service experience when shopping for new roofing materials, then GAF will take care of you.
CertainTeed
Founder George M. Brown perfected individual asphalt shingles and introduced them to the market in 1912. Meaning CertainTeed (then known as General Roofing Manufacturing Company) is the literal forebearer of modern asphalt roofing.
With that long history, the company has continued to produce resilient, system-based roofing that emits less carbon through its lifecycle. Add their mission for high transparency around recycling or repurposing building waste, and you’ve got one progressive source for roofing materials.
If you’re deeply invested in minimizing the environmental impact that your roof replacement will have, CertainTeed is the ideal supplier to work with.
Owens Corning
Known for balancing beauty and durability, Owens Corning offers homeowners several design tools and an extensive selection of shingle colors.
They’re also the complete package for sourcing roof system components like ice and water barrier or ventilation. (Both of these are essential to prevent ice dam formation during winter.)
If you want an intuitive shopping experience that values curb appeal as much as longevity, you’ll be in excellent hands with Owen Corning.
