Grand Sequoia® AS

The GAF Grand Sequoia AS SBS Modified IR Shingles represent a premium solution for DFW homeowners seeking both sophisticated aesthetics and advanced protection. These shingles are engineered with a proprietary SBS modified asphalt formulation, which provides an exceptional combination of impact resistance and flexibility. This modification allows the shingle to better withstand blunt force, a crucial advantage in the face of DFW's frequent and sometimes severe hail events. The UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance rating signifies that these shingles have passed the industry's most rigorous impact tests. Achieving a UL 2218 Class 4 rating is not just about physical protection; it often translates into tangible benefits for homeowners. Many insurance carriers, including major providers in Texas like State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, and USAA, offer premium discounts for homes equipped with Class 4 impact-resistant roofing. ADC Roofing assists clients in navigating these insurance requirements and ensuring proper documentation for potential savings. This financial incentive, combined with superior durability, makes Grand Sequoia AS a shrewd investment. Beyond impact resistance, these shingles maintain the distinctive artisan-crafted look of the Grand Sequoia line, providing an upscale aesthetic that complements a wide range of architectural styles. The DuraGrip Adhesive ensures excellent wind performance, essential for DFW's occasional high wind events, contributing to the roof's overall stability. Furthermore, the 25-year StainGuard Plus Algae Protection Limited Warranty addresses the common issue of blue-green algae discoloration, a prevalent concern in our humid climate. ADC Roofing's certified crews are highly skilled in the installation of specialized products like Grand Sequoia AS. Proper installation is paramount to achieving the full benefits of Class 4 impact resistance and wind performance. This includes precise nailing, correct underlayment application, and adherence to GAF's specific guidelines to ensure the lifetime limited transferable warranty remains valid. Integrating these durable shingles with optimal attic ventilation further enhances the roof's longevity and energy efficiency for DFW homes.

The Grand Sequoia AS is exceptionally well-suited for DFW due to its Class 4 impact resistance, which can qualify homeowners for insurance premium discounts from carriers frequent in this region, like State Farm and USAA. Its aesthetic also meets common HOA requirements for designer shingles.

ADC Roofing installs Grand Sequoia AS shingles with meticulous attention to GAF's specific requirements for impact-resistant products. This includes using the correct nailing pattern, ensuring precise shingle alignment, and verifying all components of the GAF roofing system are properly integrated to maximize the Class 4 rating and wind uplift performance.
