Why the certification matters
Anyone can buy GAF shingles at a supply house. Only a certified contractor can register GAF's enhanced limited warranty coverage on a qualifying system — and only a correct installation keeps that coverage intact.
New Jersey: Trenton, Hamilton, Ewing, Lawrence, Hopewell, Princeton, Bordentown, Burlington, Mount Laurel, Toms River, and Brick. Pennsylvania: Bucks County and the surrounding area — licensed PA HIC #PA214910.
What GAF Certification Gets You
Four things that change what happens after the crew drives away.
Warranty coverage a handshake can't match
GAF certification is what lets us register manufacturer-backed limited warranty coverage on qualifying systems. If our company ever closed its doors, that paperwork still sits with GAF — not in a drawer.
Certified, licensed, and verifiable
GAF certified. NJ HIC #13VH12943200. PA HIC #PA214910. $1M general liability. Every number on this page is one you can look up yourself — and we'd rather you did.
Installed to the spec the warranty requires
Manufacturer coverage assumes manufacturer installation: correct nail placement, correct starter and ridge, correct ventilation. We install to that spec because a roof that voids its own warranty isn't a savings.
Storm claims handled start to finish
Hail or wind damage? We document it, meet your adjuster on site, and manage the claim paperwork. You're responsible for your policy deductible — we handle the rest.

Research Your Roof Before You Buy It
These are GAF's official interactive tools, hosted here because we're a certified contractor. No sales pitch in them — compare, read, and decide. Then call us with questions.
What actually goes into a roof
A roof is a system, not just shingles. Explore GAF's interactive diagram to see every layer we install — roof deck, leak barrier at the valleys and eaves, deck protection, starter strip shingles, the shingles themselves, ridge cap, and attic ventilation. When a bid is thousands cheaper than ours, this is usually where the layers went missing.

Timberline HDZ — the shingle we install most
Timberline HDZ is GAF's architectural shingle with LayerLock technology and an oversized nailing area, which makes a correct, high-wind-rated nail line far easier to hit on a real roof in real weather. Use GAF's tool to see how it is built and what it is rated for.

Compare GAF shingle lines side by side
Wood-shake look, slate look, or a clean architectural profile — compare GAF's shingle lines on appearance, wind rating, and warranty term. Pick what you like here and we'll price it in your estimate; there is no upcharge for asking about more than one.

Compare GAF limited warranty coverage
A standard shingle warranty covers the shingle. GAF's enhanced limited warranties can cover the system — including workmanship — when a certified contractor installs qualifying GAF components. Compare the tiers in GAF's own chart. Coverage depends on the exact system installed, so we confirm your eligibility in writing before any work starts.

The Seven Layers We Install on Every GAF Roof
If a bid doesn't name all seven, ask which one it left out — and what that does to the warranty.
- 1
Roof deck
The plywood or OSB surface. We inspect it after tear-off and replace any rotted or delaminated sheathing before anything goes over it.
- 2
Leak barrier
Self-adhering membrane at eaves, valleys, and around penetrations — the places where ice dams and wind-driven rain actually get in.
- 3
Roof deck protection
Synthetic underlayment across the full deck. It's the layer that keeps water out while the roof is open and after a shingle is ever lost.
- 4
Starter strip shingles
The first course, at eaves and rakes. Skipping it or cutting up field shingles instead is one of the most common causes of blow-off along the edges.
- 5
Shingles
Timberline HDZ or the GAF line you choose. This is the layer everyone shops on — and the only one most bids describe.
- 6
Ridge cap shingles
Purpose-made caps at hips and ridges, not field shingles bent over the peak.
- 7
Attic ventilation
Balanced intake and exhaust. Get this wrong and you cook the shingles from underneath and shorten the roof's life — warranty or not.
Where most of our work is now
Commercial Roofs Are What We Do Most
Warehouses, office parks, industrial buildings, and multi-unit properties across New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our GAF certification covers commercial systems too — TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen — for maintenance, repair, and full replacement, on multi-year contracts when you want one number to call instead of five.
- TPO, EPDM & modified bitumen
- Multi-year maintenance contracts
- 24-hour response for contract clients
- No-disruption guarantee — you keep operating
Residential still gets the same crew
Commercial is the bulk of our volume, but homeowners get the identical standard: same GAF certification, same licensed and insured crews, same written scope naming every layer of the system.
Licensed in both states — NJ HIC #13VH12943200 and PA HIC #PA214910 — so a property portfolio that crosses the Delaware doesn't need two contractors.
Roofs We've Finished
Our own crews, our own photos. There is much more in the gallery — exteriors, plus kitchens, bathrooms, epoxy and tile floors under interiors and specialty finishes.
Free GAF Roof Inspection

GAF Roofing FAQs
What does it mean that Contractor Solutions is a GAF certified contractor? +
GAF certifies contractors it has vetted for licensing, insurance, and installation standards. For you it means two things: we're authorized to install GAF roofing systems to the manufacturer's spec, and we can register manufacturer-backed limited warranty coverage on qualifying systems — coverage an uncertified contractor simply cannot offer.
Does hiring a GAF certified roofer cost more? +
Our pricing is competitive with any properly licensed and insured roofer in central New Jersey. The bids that come in far below ours are almost always missing layers of the roof system — leak barrier, starter strip, ridge cap, or ventilation — which is exactly what voids manufacturer coverage later.
What warranty comes with a GAF roof from Contractor Solutions? +
It depends on which GAF system you choose. Compare the tiers in GAF's own limited warranty chart on this page, then we confirm in writing which coverage your specific system qualifies for before work begins — no verbal promises.
What is Timberline HDZ? +
Timberline HDZ is GAF's architectural shingle line and the one we install most often. It uses LayerLock technology with an oversized nailing area, which makes correct high-wind nailing far more reliable on a real installation.
Do you install GAF roofs in my town? +
We're licensed in two states. In New Jersey (NJ HIC #13VH12943200) we cover Mercer, Burlington, and Ocean counties — Trenton, Hamilton, Ewing, Lawrence, Hopewell, Princeton, Bordentown, Burlington, Mount Laurel, Toms River, and Brick. In Pennsylvania (PA HIC #PA214910) we cover Bucks County and the surrounding area. Call us with your address and we'll tell you straight whether you're in our range.
Do you do commercial roofing, or only houses? +
Both, and commercial is now the majority of our work — warehouses, office parks, industrial buildings, and multi-unit properties. Our GAF certification covers commercial systems including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen, and we offer multi-year maintenance contracts with 24-hour response for contract clients.
Can a GAF roof replacement be covered by my storm insurance claim? +
Often, yes. If wind or hail damaged your roof, we document the damage, meet your adjuster on site, and manage the claim paperwork. When the claim is approved you're responsible for your policy deductible.
