Yes, GAF Timberline is considered a very good shingle and is the most popular and best-selling architectural shingle in North America for good reason. GAF Timberline HDZ, the current flagship, is considered good because it offers an excellent balance of appearance, durability, warranty, and value. Appearance wise, it features Dual Shadow Line technology that creates enhanced dimensional shadow lines for attractive curb appeal, with many color options. Durability wise, it features Dura Grip adhesive that seals shingles together for 130 mph wind warranty, LayerLock technology that mechanically fastens shingle layers, and a large StrikeZone nailing area that is 600 percent larger than previous HD for more accurate installation. It also includes StainGuard Plus algae protection with time-release copper capsules that protect against blue-green algae discoloration for up to 25 years. Warranty is strong, with lifetime limited warranty defined as 50 years for original owner, 15-year wind warranty, and 15-year algae warranty. Price is competitive at 100 to 150 dollars per square for materials. GAF has a huge network of Master Elite contractors that offer Golden Pledge warranties with up to 25-year workmanship coverage. While premium brands like Malarkey offer better impact resistance, for most homeowners GAF Timberline is an excellent, reliable, good-looking shingle with proven track record.
