03. **Timberline HDZ installation to GAF spec** - We install using the LayerLock nailing zone, correct fastener count and placement, and matching GAF accessories, so the shingle can perform to its rated wind resistance.
04. **Warranty registration and walkthrough** - We register the manufacturer's lifetime limited warranty on the shingle and walk the finished roof with you.

## FAQ

**What's actually different about LayerLock Technology versus older GAF Timberline shingles?**

LayerLock creates a larger, more visible common-bond nailing area on the shingle, giving installers a bigger, more consistent target to fasten into than earlier Timberline designs.

**Does GAF Timberline HDZ really hold up to Boise's wind gusts?**

GAF rates Timberline HDZ up to 130 mph when it is fastened according to their published spec, which is why correct nailing placement, not just the shingle itself, is what determines real wind performance.

**Are you GAF Certified or Master Elite installers?**

We install Timberline HDZ following GAF's published fastening and ventilation specifications. We do not represent ourselves as a GAF-certified or Master Elite contractor, and are happy to discuss our licensing and installation process directly.

**Does the algae-resistant granule feature matter in a dry Boise climate?**

It matters most on shaded, north-facing slopes or roofs under mature trees, where algae streaking still shows up even in a dry climate. StainGuard granules address that specific spot rather than the whole roof.
