OAK & ANCHOR VOICE
Why Oak & Anchor Uses Shingles
Not every home in South Florida needs tile or metal. For homeowners who want a clean, classic look with strong storm performance and a straightforward installation, shingles are the right answer. We install GAF Timberline shingles exclusively — the #1 selling shingle in the country, and the only brand backed by the Master Elite certification program.
What makes our shingle installs different is the detail work. We run full-deck ice and water shield on every job — not just the edges, which is the standard practice. That means every square foot of your roof deck is protected before a single shingle goes down. It's the right way to do it, and it's how we do it on every home.
We offer two Timberline options: the standard HDZ for most homes, and the Class 4 impact-rated UHDZ with UltraMat for homeowners in high-storm-frequency areas or who want to qualify for insurance premium discounts. We'll tell you honestly which one makes sense for your situation.
Why We Use It:
- GAF Elite certified — held by less than 2% of roofers in the country
- Full-deck ice and water shield on every install — not just the edges
- Lifetime Limited Warranty — available only through Master Elite certified contractors

Overview
The UHDZ uses GAF's UltraMat — a thicker, stronger fiberglass mat core that achieves Class 4 impact resistance without any change to the surface appearance. It looks identical to the HDZ from the street but performs at a completely different level in hail and storm debris events.
- Supplier — GAF via ABC Supply
- Type — Architectural / Dimensional Shingle — Class 4 Impact Rated
- Impact rating — UL 2218 Class 4 — highest residential impact resistance rating available. Designed for hail and storm debris.
- Wind rating — Up to 130 mph wind warranty with GAF Master Elite installation
- Warranty — Lifetime Limited Warranty — requires GAF Master Elite certified installer
- Fire rating — Class A
- Algae protection — StainGuard Plus™ — 25-year algae resistance warranty
- UltraMat technology — High-performance fiberglass mat core. Thicker and stronger than standard HDZ mat. Achieves Class 4 rating without added surface granules — no visible difference from HDZ.
- FL relevance — Class 4 impact rating qualifies homeowners for significant insurance premium discounts in Florida. Ideal for Martin and St. Lucie County homes in high-storm-frequency zones.
- OAB sell point — The upgrade from HDZ to UHDZ is one of the best value decisions a FL homeowner can make — the insurance savings often offset the cost difference within 2–3 years.
- Best for — Homeowners in high-storm-frequency areas, anyone seeking FL insurance premium savings, or clients who want maximum impact protection without changing the look of their roof.
- Color note — UHDZ is available in a subset of HDZ colors. If a client's preferred color is not available in UHDZ, recommend the HDZ as the alternative.
