Lakewood Roofing Installs New Timberline Ultra HDZ Roofing System On University Place Apartments

We love transforming homes and businesses with brand-new roofing systems, it's what we do at Lakewood Roofing! In this case, it was an apartment building. That's right we had the privilege of being the roofing contractor of choice for a major apartment complex in University Place, WA. This 8,000-square-foot roof was ready for a replacement!

Our roofing specialist did a fantastic job consulting the board at this apartment complex. They discussed the right products that would suit them best. They selected the Timberline Ultra HDZ roofing shingle and Deck Armor breathable synthetic underlayment from GAF. There are a few key features that made this combination of upgraded products the right fit for their project.

We installed the most breathable or permeable underlayment as roof deck protection. There are many decent synthetic underlayments out there on the market but most of them have a very low perm rating, which measures how much air can pass through, or in other words breathability. Deck Armors industry-leading breathability will be a major asset to the entire roofing system.

There are many appealing features when it comes to the Ultra HDZ by GAF, but there was one key factor that made this the perfect shingle of choice for the apartment complex. The 30-year Stainguard Plus Pro algae warranty was the deciding factor. Most shingles have a 10-15 year algae rating. With some of the prevalent algae issues in the PNW, having a warranted product that protects for nearly triple the average algae warranty was an easy decision. In addition to the 30-year Stainguard warranty, there are some other amazing features such as the Duel Shadow color pattern that really make the shingle pop. The Ultra HDZ is approximately 25% thicker than the Timberline HDZ, its predecessor. You can read more about the Ultra HDZ and its features and benefits on our blog!
