When it comes to protecting your home in Rapid City, Box Elder, or anywhere in the Black Hills, the roof over your head is one of the most important investments you’ll make. At Built Right Roofing & Construction, we stand behind every roof we install, and that’s why we use GAF shingles on nearly every project.

GAF is the largest roofing manufacturer in North America, and their products are trusted by millions of homeowners. But beyond brand recognition, GAF shingles deliver real, tangible benefits that make them a smart choice for any home.

Enhanced Warranties: Peace of Mind You Can Trust

One of the standout reasons we use GAF shingles is the enhanced warranties they offer. GAF’s Golden Pledge Warranty provides:

  • Lifetime coverage on material defects

  • Extended workmanship coverage when installed by a certified GAF Master Elite® contractor (like Built Right)

  • Transferable coverage, which can add value to your home if you sell

For homeowners in South Dakota, where hail and high winds are a reality, having a robust warranty means you’re covered if Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate.

Unlimited Wind Warranty: Built for Harsh Weather

GAF shingles are built to withstand the toughest weather conditions, including high winds that hit the Black Hills. Their Unlimited Wind Warranty covers winds up to 130 mph when installed by a certified contractor.

What does that mean for homeowners?

  • Less worry during spring and summer storms.

  • Reduced risk of roof damage from gusts or severe weather.

  • Confidence knowing your roof is built to last.

ArmourShield II: Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles

For hail-prone areas like Rapid City, GAF’s ArmourShield II shingles are a game-changer. These shingles are UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated, which means they can withstand the largest hailstones without cracking or losing granules.

Why this matters:

  • Insurance savings: Many insurance companies provide discounts for Class 4 roofs.

  • Durability: Protects your home from hidden damage that can lead to leaks and rot.

  • Variety: Available in multiple colors and styles, so your roof looks great while performing at a premium level.

Why Built Right Chooses GAF

We’ve torn off enough roofs in the Black Hills to know that not all shingles are created equal. Some homes that looked fine from the street were hiding rot, granule loss, or damage from storms. That’s why we only install products we know will perform year after year.

Here’s why Built Right trusts GAF:

  • Proven track record: Millions of roofs installed across North America.

  • Warranty support: GAF stands behind their products, and we stand behind our workmanship.

  • Premium options for every homeowner: From entry-level to ArmourShield II, GAF has a solution that balances performance and aesthetics.

Value for Homeowners

Choosing GAF shingles isn’t just about durability—it’s about:

  • Protecting your biggest investment: Your home.

  • Peace of mind: Knowing your roof can handle hail, high winds, and snow.

  • Long-term savings: Fewer repairs, longer lifespan, and potential insurance discounts.

  • Beauty: GAF shingles come in a wide range of colors and profiles to complement any home style.
