Charcoal roof shingles by GAF
Charcoal color shingles are a classic, complementary choice
You can’t go wrong with a Charcoal color roof from GAF, North America’s largest shingle manufacturer. Homeowners choose Charcoal shingles for their timeless, quintessential look. On their own, they stand strong, adding character and contrast. Yet, they complement almost any home, working wonderfully with a variety of palettes. And, because they’re so versatile, Charcoal color shingles not only improve curb appeal — they may also increase resale value.

What our customers have to say
We replaced our roof after 19 years with the Charcoal Shingles and our home looks brand new again. What a difference! We opted to add the System Plus Warranty to ensure we are protected for many years to come since we do live in South Carolina and periodically battle those hurricane storms.
