GAF Materials Corporation recently announced its participation in a segment of Designing Spaces, a half-hour informative series that guides viewers on how to make their homes more beautiful and functional. The program will be airing nationally on the WE network at 9:30am on August 1, 2 and 13, with additional airings throughout August and September. The segment will also be posted on GAF’s website at www.gaf.com and on its corporate YouTube channel.
Working closely with producers at Quorum Productions, creators of the series, GAF designed a segment covering the many aspects of roofing and important factors that homeowners should consider when making decisions about their roofs. JoAnne Liebeler, former co-host of the television series Hometime, reviews essential elements of buying a new roof, including shingle type, contractor selection, and warranties.
“GAF is excited to have been selected to participate on an award-winning show that focuses on the smartest ways to make homes more beautiful and functional,” stated Ted Marcopolus, Vice President of Marketing Services at GAF. “We’re very pleased with how the segment turned out. It will not only help educate homeowners about how to make a great roofing choice, but it will also help them to avoid potential problems.”
Featured in the segment was a home in Randolph, NJ in the process of being reroofed by GAF Master Elite™ contractor, Rob Muller, owner of RBM Roofing and General Contracting. Rob and his crew used the full GAF line of materials, including Weather Watch® XT Leak Barrier, Deck-Armor™ Premium Breathable Roof Deck Protection, and Timberline® Prestique® 30 shingles in Barkwood.
