Imagine this: A powerful Nor’easter is rolling through Cherry Hill, NJ, bringing gusts of 70+ mph, heavy rain, and flying debris. As you brace yourself inside, you wonder—will your roof withstand the storm?
For homeowners in Cherry Hill and across South Jersey, high winds and severe weather are a constant concern. A single storm can tear off shingles, cause leaks, and lead to thousands of dollars in roof repairs. Standard roofing warranties often cap wind coverage at 130 mph, leaving homeowners vulnerable when extreme weather strikes.
This is where GAF’s WindProven™ Warranty stands apart. It’s the first roofing warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation, meaning your home is protected no matter how strong the winds get.
In this article, we’ll explore:
- How the WindProven™ Warranty works
- Why wind damage is a major risk for Cherry Hill homes
- How WindProven™ outperforms standard warranties
- How RGB Construction can install a WindProven™-eligible roof for lasting protection
If you’re looking for a roof that can handle South Jersey’s worst storms, read on to discover why GAF’s WindProven™ Warranty is the best choice for your home.
What Is the GAF WindProven™ Warranty?
The First Roofing Warranty with No Wind Speed Limit
Unlike standard warranties, which only cover winds up to 130 mph, the GAF WindProven™ Warranty provides unlimited wind coverage when installed with a complete GAF roofing system.
This means that:
- Your roof is protected, even in hurricane-force winds.
- No fine print limits coverage based on wind speeds.
- You get long-term peace of mind, knowing your investment is secure.
For Cherry Hill homeowners, where storms and high winds are a frequent threat, this unmatched protection makes a significant difference.
What You Need to Qualify for the WindProven™ Warranty
To be eligible for WindProven™ coverage, your roof must include:
- GAF Timberline HDZ® shingles (with LayerLock® Technology for enhanced strength).
- A full GAF roofing system, including:
- GAF Starter Strip Shingles
- GAF Ridge Cap Shingles
- GAF Roof Deck Protection
- GAF Leak Barriers or Attic Ventilation
By installing these GAF-certified components, you receive a lifetime limited warranty with industry-leading wind protection.
Why High Wind Protection Matters in Cherry Hill
Cherry Hill’s Exposure to Storms and High Winds
South Jersey homeowners regularly experience storms with wind speeds exceeding 50 mph. In recent years, hurricanes and Nor’easters have caused significant roof damage, leading to costly repairs and insurance claims.
Local weather data shows:
- Cherry Hill recorded wind gusts of 70+ mph during severe storms in the last three years.
- Nor’easters bring strong, sustained winds, sometimes lasting for hours or even days.
- Climate change is increasing the frequency of extreme weather, making storm-resistant roofing more important than ever.
The Cost of Wind Damage Without Proper Protection
Many homeowners assume their insurance will cover wind damage, but that’s not always the case.
- Without WindProven™ protection, wind-related roof repairs can cost $5,000-$15,000.
- Standard roofing warranties often do NOT cover damage above 130 mph.
- Home insurance claims for wind damage are rising, leading to higher premiums.
By investing in a WindProven™-certified roof, homeowners eliminate unexpected repair costs and ensure long-term security.
How WindProven™ Outperforms Standard Roofing Warranties
Key Differences Between WindProven™ and Traditional Warranties
| Feature | GAF WindProven™ Warranty | Traditional Roofing Warranty |
| Wind Speed Limit | No limit (unlimited coverage) | Capped at 130 mph |
| Shingle Requirements | GAF Timberline HDZ® with LayerLock® Technology | Standard 3-tab or architectural shingles |
| Full Roofing System Requirement | Yes, must install a complete GAF system | No, only shingles required |
| Repair Costs | $0 if covered under warranty | $5,000+ for wind damage repairs |
Standard warranties don’t provide the level of protection homeowners in storm-prone regions like Cherry Hill need. GAF WindProven™ ensures complete peace of mind.
Why GAF’s WindProven™ Warranty Is the Best Choice for Cherry Hill Homes
Designed for South Jersey’s Harsh Weather
With no wind speed limit, homeowners are protected from:
- Hurricane-force winds
- Severe Nor’easters
- Unexpected wind events that cause roof damage
A Smarter Long-Term Investment
- A WindProven™-certified roof lasts longer, meaning fewer replacements and repairs over time.
- Increases home value—buyers prefer homes with strong warranties.
- Protects against rising insurance premiums by reducing wind-related claims.
Eliminates Out-of-Pocket Repair Costs
Since wind damage isn’t always covered by insurance, many homeowners are forced to pay thousands out-of-pocket for repairs. WindProven™ coverage eliminates this risk, ensuring homeowners save money in the long run.
