GAF Timberline HDZ^® Shingles are considered architectural shingles. Unlike 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles are made by bonding multiple layers of asphalt and fiberglass together to create a distinct, 3D textured appearance. This approach makes them stronger and more durable than 3-tab shingles with enhanced aesthetics and better warranties.

The most popular color options from the GAF Timberline HDZ^® Shingles High Definition^® collection include Weathered Wood, Charcoal, Pewter Gray, Barkwood, and Shakewood. These colors are designed to create exceptional depth and dimension with patented shadow bands.

Customers seeking a shingle that makes a statement can choose from Timberline HDZ^® Bold Definition colors, bursting with rich tones and striking contrasts curated to deliver distinct looks that never go out of style. Inspired by GAF’s top-four selling High Definition^® colors, the Bold Definition collection offers the same tones homeowners love, now creating a different impact on the roof:

• Chestnut Valley is GAF’s Bold take on Barkwood
• Cliffside is GAF’s Bold take on Pewter Gray
• Midnight Mesa is GAF’s Bold take on Charcoal
• Sierra Sand is GAF’s Bold take on Weathered Wood

Costs can vary significantly as roofing contractors consider many variables when preparing your roof cost estimate, including:

• Home size – The size of your roof is typically the biggest cost factor. Cost per square usually includes materials and installation.
• Slope and pitch – The pitch and complexity of the roof also influences cost.
• Location – The area you live in — its cost of living, climate, local building codes and permit requirements — are variables that also factor into the cost of your new roof.

To understand replacement costs specific to your roof, your preferences, your budget, and your goals, find a contractor near you today. Contractors seeking pricing should contact their Territory Manager or distribution partner for more information.
