Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
GAF Grand Sequoia AS delivers the rugged wood-shake look of Grand Sequoia with an added Class 4 impact rating.
Grand Sequoia AS keeps the oversized, ultra-dimensional profile of the Grand Sequoia line while adding impact-resistant construction rated Class 4. That reinforcement helps the shingle resist damage from hail and falling branches, a real consideration under the tall trees common across Puget Sound. Homeowners get designer wood-shake styling and a measure of storm resilience in one product. Because of its Class 4 rating, it may support insurance premium considerations depending on the policy. It is well suited to wooded, upscale properties that want both looks and toughness.
Ultra-dimensional wood-shake styling with deep shadow lines; Class 4 impact rating for hail and debris resistance; May qualify for insurance premium considerations; Ideal for wooded, tree-heavy Puget Sound lots; Algae-resistant granules for our damp, moss-prone climate
1) Remove existing roofing and assess the deck for rot and moisture; 2) Apply ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment at vulnerable zones; 3) Install the reinforced, oversized AS shingles with staggered courses for depth; 4) Cap the ridges and seal all flashings and penetrations
Roof area, pitch, and layout complexity; Combined designer and impact-resistant construction raises material cost; Oversized shingles affecting labor and quantities; Deck condition found at tear-off; Tree cover and storm exposure driving the upgrade
Grand Sequoia AS can be installed in any season, and scheduling before fall storms adds impact protection ahead of windy weather.
