How Fives Contracting brings GAF Timberline HDZ® RS shingles to South Jersey homeowners who want energy efficiency without sacrificing style.

Out With the Heat, In With the Style


New Jersey homeowners love the timeless look of a deep, dark roof — think charcoal, slate, or black oak. But darker shingles traditionally come with one problem: they absorb more heat.


That’s where GAF Timberline HDZ® RS changes the game. This revolutionary roofing shingle delivers the darkest reflective finish on the market, helping you stay cool and energy-efficient even under the Jersey summer sun.


If you live in Medford, Tabernacle, Marlton, Mount Laurel, or anywhere across Burlington, Camden, or Atlantic County, this roofing system lets you enjoy the rich look you love without the energy penalty.


What Makes GAF Timberline HDZ RS Different


The “RS” stands for Reflective Series, and it’s built with GAF’s exclusive EcoDark® granules, designed to bounce back more of the sun’s rays than standard dark shingles.


Here’s why that matters:

• Cooler attic temperatures in summer months

• Reduced air-conditioning use and lower energy bills

• Less thermal stress on roofing materials

• Greater long-term roof durability


These shingles meet cool-roof standards recognized by energy programs nationwide, while still maintaining a deep, dimensional architectural look that complements almost any home style.


Perfect for New Jersey Homes


Whether you’re in the Shore regions (Ocean City, Cape May, Longport) or inland towns like Medford or Shamong, our climate brings hot, sunny summers and cold winters — the perfect reason to invest in a roof that balances both style and performance.


Timberline HDZ RS shingles:

• Keep your home cooler on high-heat days

• Reduce attic moisture build-up from temperature swings

• Help you stay more comfortable year-round

• Pair perfectly with modern, farmhouse, or traditional South Jersey homes


Fives Contracting installs these shingles as part of a complete GAF roofing system including underlayments, ridge caps, starter strips, and proper ventilation for total roof performance.
