How to Choose Asphalt Shingles for Your Greenwich, CT Home

March 2026

If you're a Greenwich homeowner planning a roof replacement, asphalt shingles are likely your best combination of performance, aesthetics, and value. But not all asphalt shingles are created equal — and choosing the right product for Greenwich's coastal climate makes a real difference in how long your roof lasts.

Why GAF Timberline HDZ?

At Roof Right Now, we install GAF Timberline HDZ shingles exclusively. They're the #1 selling shingle in North America for good reason: LayerLock technology provides a dimensional wood-shake appearance, they carry a Class A fire rating, and they're rated for winds up to 130 mph — critical for Greenwich homes exposed to Long Island Sound storms and nor'easters.

Color Selection for Greenwich Homes

Greenwich's architecture ranges from Colonial and Tudor to contemporary waterfront designs. GAF Timberline HDZ comes in over a dozen color options, from classic Charcoal and Weathered Wood to Barkwood and Shakewood for homes with a more natural aesthetic. During your consultation, Anthony will bring samples so you can see how each color looks against your home's siding, trim, and landscaping.

What About the Warranty?

Because Roof Right Now is GAF certified, your Greenwich roof qualifies for the GAF System Plus warranty — 50 years of coverage on materials and workmanship. This isn't a limited warranty with fine print exclusions. It's one of the strongest warranties in the roofing industry, and it transfers to the next homeowner if you sell.

Coastal Considerations

Greenwich's proximity to Long Island Sound means salt air, higher humidity, and stronger storm exposure than inland communities. We address this with proper ice and water shield underlayment along eaves and valleys, enhanced ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, and the 130 mph wind-rated installation method that GAF certifies us to perform.
