Wind-Resistant GAF Shingles: Built to Withstand Wisconsin’s Worst Weather
Protect Your Janesville Home with Roofing That Holds Strong in High Winds
In Southern Wisconsin, high winds and severe weather are more than just occasional inconveniences—they’re real threats to your home’s exterior. And your roof takes the brunt of it. Missing shingles, wind uplift, and storm damage are all too common for homeowners with aging or underperforming roofs.
At DMR Exteriors, we trust GAF roofing systems because they’re engineered to perform when it matters most. If you’re looking for a roof that can stand up to Wisconsin’s wind, rain, and hail, GAF’s wind-resistant shingles are a smart, long-term investment.
Why Wind Resistance Matters in Rock County
Wisconsin sees its share of strong wind events—especially during spring and summer thunderstorms. These gusts can easily exceed 60 mph and tear off improperly installed or low-quality shingles. Once shingles are compromised, your roof is vulnerable to water intrusion, mold, insulation damage, and costly structural repairs.
That’s why DMR Exteriors installs GAF’s most wind-resistant shingles—products that not only stay put during a storm but protect the integrity of your home long after the clouds pass.
How GAF Shingles Deliver Wind-Proof Protection
Dura Grip™ Adhesive
This high-strength adhesive seals shingles tightly, forming a strong bond that resists uplift and blow-offs—even in wind speeds up to 130 mph when installed as part of a complete GAF system.
LayerLock™ Technology
Featured in shingles like Timberline® HDZ, this technology mechanically bonds layers together, reinforcing the most vulnerable parts of the roof and making it easier to install to spec—critical for storm protection.
WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty
When installed with GAF starter shingles and ridge cap shingles by a GAF Certified Contractor, Timberline HDZ shingles qualify for the industry’s first wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation.
That’s right—no wind speed cap when your system is installed by the book.
