Roofing Materials from GAF

Merging the roofing industry with the solar industry is one of our top goals at GAF Energy. It's important for roofers to feel comfortable with solar, as the ones performing solar roof installation and GAF training helps build that comfort. That's why we worked so hard to ensure Timberline Solar was created to meet the needs of roofers — as a nailable solar shingle that uses the same process and materials as traditional roofing. That's also why we find it so important to communicate with our roofing partners using the language they prefer.

For justice-involved individuals, it can be very difficult to find a job and get their lives back on track. According to an analysis of the Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Former Prisoner Survey by the Prison Policy Initiative, more than 93% of 25–44-year-olds who were once incarcerated are either employed or actively seeking work. That's a significant percentage of the labor force that's often dismissed unfairly or ignored entirely.
