PetersenDean Roofing & Solar Selects GAF as Preferred Manufacturer of Cool Shingles

FREMONT, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fremont, California-based PetersenDean Roofing & Solar announced its
relationship with GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. The
relationship will help supply PetersenDean consumers in all of its seven
operating states with shingles that can be used to comply with Title 24
cool roof requirements.

GAF is an American owned company with headquarters in Parsippany, New
Jersey, and more than 30 manufacturing facilities nationwide.

“We selected GAF because they own an expansive network of manufacturing
facilities and produce quality products that make the company a leader
in the industry,” said Gary Liardon, President of US Consumer Division,
PetersenDean Roofing & Solar. “With all of GAF’s plants based in the
U.S., we are providing our customers with quality products and
supporting American jobs. They also produce the popular shingle colors
that our customers like and offer comprehensive warranties. We are proud
to partner with such an innovative and dependable manufacturer.”

GAF is the only roofing manufacturer to earn the Good Housekeeping Seal
of Approval on its products. The company recently introduced its
Timberline HD® Reflector Series™ Shingles, which can be used
to comply with Title 24 cool roof requirements. Cool roofs reflect more
sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofs to help keep your
home cooler. Additionally, GAF offers its Timberline HD® Reflector
Series™ Shingles in a large selection of colors with comprehensive
warranties. The color selection and warranties will provide PetersenDean
customers with choice, quality, and peace of mind.

“At GAF, we are committed to working with the best contractors in the
industry,” said Todd Tarchalski, West area vice president of sales at
GAF. “We couldn’t be more excited to work with PetersenDean, one of
America’s largest and most trusted roofing and solar companies.”

The GAF products will be offered in all seven states where PetersenDean
operates.

This relationship helps meet two important goals for PetersenDean, which
installs about 2,000 solar and roof systems each month nationally:
providing PetersenDean customers with quality, innovative roofing
materials and supporting American jobs.

“We made a decision at PetersenDean to only source our products from
manufacturing facilities in North America,” said Jim Petersen, president
and CEO of PetersenDean Roofing & Solar. “That’s why we chose to utilize
GAF, which owns multiple manufacturing facilities across the nation. We
can help customers lower their electric bills, help the environment, and
help the economy.”
