Our founder was in the exterior remodeling industry for decades before opening SSC’s doors as a small operation. He got his start in roofing and worked in every position you can possibly imagine over the years before having his own operation.
GAF is our focus because their roofing systems are in a class all their own and deliver incredible benefits for everyone involved in the project.
Let’s briefly look at arguably the top four most popular benefits.
There’s a level of 5-star convenience involved. GAF is not only one of the leading roofing companies in America but in the world. They’ve dumped millions upon millions into research and development, and they have continuously set new standards for shingles, roof protection products, and so much more.
A recent example is their improved Timberline HDZ line of shingles with the much larger StrikeZone combined with their DuraGrip, Advanced Protection and new LayerLock technologies. They’re being hailed as the biggest advancement in roofing in the last 50 years.
When your roofing Project Consultant starts explaining to you all the warranty coverage GAF offers (on top of our guarantees), you’ll completely understand why GAF’s coverage is considered the best in the industry.
The true value comes from their Golden Pledge Warranty — 50 years of non-prorated protection on materials and 25 years of non-prorated installation coverage. Due to how exacting Golden Pledge standards are, not all Master Elite roofers in the Boston area offer it. We not only offer the Golden Pledge Warranty… our standard procedure is to adhere to Golden Pledge standards on every single job.
SSC is in the top 3% of all roofers. This is what Master Elite distinction means in the roofing industry. And trust us, it’s not an easy thing to get.
How did we achieve this? We made going beyond Master Elite Standards part of our core practice on every relevant roofing project site. Our roofers adhere to GAF’s rigid Master Elite installation policies…and then some!
GAF asphalt roofing systems are ideal when you plan on moving or selling the property within the next 10-15 years. The roofing system itself should last 25 years, comfortably up to 50 years. In terms of ROI, you should see excellent resale value.
Generally speaking, a new GAF asphalt roofing system averages 60% ROI (can be higher depending on certain variables). So, $60 of every $100 spent on the roofing system goes directly into the resale value of the property. Not too shabby!
In brief, metal roofing is gorgeous. And the metal roofing we work with comes in 20 beautiful styles, colors, and textures.
Despite the higher initial price-tag vs other materials (great ROI, though!), metal roofing lasts an incredibly long time, is extremely durable and New England-friendly, and requires low maintenance. Your roofing Project Consultant can walk you through all the exciting options and potential with metal.
Now let’s look at the third common option, primarily used for flat and low-sloped roofing: rubber. We use EPDM and you often see it on commercial properties. Or, larger residential buildings like apartment complexes.
Your core benefits include virtually no maintenance requirements or risks of leaking, 50+ years of solid performance, low-cost life cycle, it’s insanely durable and weather-proofed, etc. In terms of aesthetics, it comes in black or white, but you’ll find the material can be easily painted with acrylics.
Contact us today to schedule your free roofing quote and inspection. Our inspections include a thorough assessment of your attic ventilation – a huge but often neglected element of roof installation. We would be honored to hear from you.
We would highly recommend Solid State Construction. They did a thorough review of our roof, explained our options to overcome a lack of any venting, and gave us an estimate that day. They took off the old roof, and put on the new roof all in one day. They also did a good clean up afterwards. We love the roof color and the job they did.
