Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
GAF Timberline AS II is an impact-resistant Class 4 architectural shingle engineered to stand up to hail and wind-driven debris.
Timberline AS II pairs GAF's proven architectural laminate design with a Class 4 impact rating, the highest tier in the standard impact test. The reinforced construction helps the shingle resist cracking from hail and falling limbs, which can matter during Northwest windstorms that bring branches down onto roofs. It keeps the dimensional, wood-shake styling homeowners expect from the Timberline family. Because many insurers offer premium considerations for Class 4 roofing, AS II can be a smart long-term choice. It suits homes in wooded Puget Sound settings where debris impact is a real concern.

1) Tear off the old roof and check the deck for soft spots and moisture; 2) Apply ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment across critical areas; 3) Install the reinforced AS II shingles with correct fastening for impact performance; 4) Finish ridges and seal every penetration and flashing detail
Roof size, pitch, and layout complexity; Impact-resistant shingles cost more than standard laminate; Extent of deck repairs found during tear-off; Local tree cover and debris exposure influencing the upgrade decision; Documentation needs for potential insurance considerations
AS II installs in any season locally, and scheduling ahead of fall and winter storm season adds protection before the worst weather arrives.
