We’re back with another installment of our GAF asphalt roofing series.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been highlighting each of the eleven different types of GAF shingles, and this week we place our focus on the Grand Sequoia line.
In case you missed the previous installments of the series, here’s a recap of what we’ve covered so far:

- Part 2: Timberline UHDZ

- Part 4: Timberline AS II

Let’s take a look at the Grand Sequoia line — including some of the major benefits, as well as warranties and color options.
Grand Sequoia asphalt shingles feature artisan-crafted shapes, along with oversized tabs for a dramatic, sophisticated aesthetic. They also feature a custom palette of five beautiful colors — all of which are shown below.
In addition, the GAF Grand Sequoia line is eligible to be upgraded to a GAF FORTIFIED roofing system. In short, the FORTIFIED program adds an additional layer of strength to GAF’s already robust, durable roofing system. Legacy Exteriors is a GAF Fortified certified service provider, so if you have any questions, or would like to learn more about the FORTIFIED program, feel free to reach out.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF GRAND SEQUOIA SHINGLES INCLUDE
Affordability: these shingles cost considerably less than traditional slate or wood shakes.- This product has earned the Good HouseKeeping Seal.
- A custom color palette that is formulated to accentuate Grand Sequoia’s natural appeal.
- A dramatic aesthetic: featuring artisan-crafted shapes and oversized tabs for a luxurious look, Grand Sequoia shingles pair beautifully with many different types of home styles.
- They have an impact resistance rating of UL 2218 Class 4, which was achieved through impact testing that included dropping various sized steel balls onto the shingles from various heights — followed by examining the shingles for cracks, tears or fractures. It’s important to note that only products that can withstand the impact of a 2-inch steel ball, dropped from 20 feet, receive the highest Class 4 rating of UL 2218.
