October 15, 2026 GAF hosted the 2026 GAF Latinos in Roofing Northeast Summit & Expo on Saturday, Sept. 19, at the College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Hyattsville, Md. The event brought together over 400 roofing contractors and industry professionals from across the Northeast for a full day of bilingual education, hands-on training, networking, and industry engagement. Attendees included Latino roofing contractors, installers, business owners, GAF representatives, and other industry professionals.

Programming included bilingual sessions on roofing finance, in-home selling, artificial intelligence skills, and lead generation, as well as hands-on demonstrations of GAF roofing products, systems, and installation techniques.

Building on more than 50 years of manufacturing in Baltimore, the GAF Latinos in Roofing Northeast Summit & Expo reflects the company's longstanding commitment to workforce development and community investment across the region. That commitment was recently demonstrated in May 2026, when GAF brought its tuition-free GAF Roofing Academy to West Baltimore, where 88 participants received hands-on training and built the skills needed to pursue careers in roofing. Nationally, the GAF Roofing Academy has trained more than 5,700 people nationally and placed over 3,200 into careers in roofing. Beyond workforce development, GAF continues to invest in Baltimore communities through partnerships with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake and Friends of Patterson Park.

By documenting all findings, Honey Fyx LLC provided the homeowners with a clear outline of recommended actions and a transparent scope of work. Material selection and specifications. For this roofing replacement St. Louis project, Honey Fyx LLC selected GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Pewter Grey to deliver optimal durability and curb appeal. These architectural shingles offer advanced LayerLock(TM) technology and StainGuard(R) protection, making them ideal for the local climate. Complementing the roof, Honey Fyx LLC installed five inch white seamless gutters and Norandex six-inch white soffit and fascia to enhance water management and protect roof edges. * Roofing: GAF Timberline HDZ, Pewter Grey * Soffit and Fascia: Norandex, six-inch, white * Gutters: Five inch, seamless, white aluminum Below is a summary of the primary materials and their specifications: | Component | Brand / Product | Color / Size | | Shingles | GAF Timberline HDZ | Pewter Grey | | Soffit & Fascia | Norandex | Six-inch, White | | Gutters | Aluminum | Five inch, White | Installation process. The installation phase of its roofing replacement St. Louis project began with site protection measures. Honey Fyx LLC covered landscaping and exterior features to shield them from debris. Tear-off of the existing roof was completed in a systematic manner, with all old shingles, underlayment, and damaged decking removed down to the sheathing. Its team inspected the deck for hidden rot and replaced any compromised boards, ensuring a sound foundation. Honey Fyx LLC installed a high-performance synthetic underlayment to provide superior moisture protection. Ice and water shield was applied along critical eaves and valleys, followed by the precise installation of GAF Timberline HDZ Pewter Grey shingles. Starter strips and ridge caps were used to fortify edges and ridges, and all flashing was custom-fabricated for a watertight seal. The seamless five inch gutters were measured and installed to direct water away from the foundation, and Norandex six-inch white soffit and fascia panels were secured to ventilate and protect the roof's perimeter. Workmanship standards and safety. Consistent with HoneyFyx's commitment to best practices, every step of the roofing replacement St. Louis project adhered to or exceeded industry standards. Its installers are trained in GAF's guidelines for shingle nailing patterns, flashing details, and ventilation requirements. Safety protocols included fall protection systems, daily safety briefings, and strict site organization.

Upon completion, a thorough multi-point inspection was conducted to verify the quality of the roofing replacement St. Louis installation. Honey Fyx LLC checked shingle alignment, flashing integrity, gutter pitch, and the secure attachment of soffit and fascia.

Three organizations unite to give Baltimore mother more than a new roof.

Three organizations unite to give Baltimore mother more than a new roof. Jul 28, 2026 Green The Church, GAF, and Charm City Roofing partner to transform one family's home into a place of stability, sustainability, and community empowerment. BALTIMORE, Md. - July 7, 2026 - A simple request for help led to a powerful example of how purpose-driven organizations can come together to invest in people. Through a partnership between Green The Church, GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer, and Baltimore-based Charm City Roofing, local resident Ruby Taylor has received a new roof that represents far more than a home improvement. The project provides the stability she needs to rebuild her life while creating a foundation for a home that will serve as a gathering place for education, community, and generational wealth building. For Taylor, the roof symbolizes a new beginning. After facing significant personal and financial challenges while rebuilding her life as a single mother, Taylor wrote directly to the CEO of GAF and turned the company's own promise back on them. "You say you protect what matters most," she wrote. "My daughter and I are what matters most. Protect us." The CEO wrote back personally, then working alongside Green The Church, whose mission is to help congregations and communities embrace environmental stewardship through sustainable infrastructure investments, GAF and Charm City Roofing transformed that request into action. Together, the organizations installed a new roof that not only protects Taylor's home but also advances Green The Church's broader vision of strengthening communities through sustainability, resilience, and environmental justice. Charm City Roofing brought local expertise and craftsmanship to the project, helping translate generosity into lasting impact. For Taylor, the home's future extends well beyond her own family. She plans to open her home regularly as a community space where neighbors can gather for conversations centered on Black art, financial literacy, generational wealth, and creating opportunities for Black and Brown families and people with disabilities in Baltimore's Park Heights neighborhood. Many other homeowners in the area share Taylor's struggle, as its historic homes are in dire need of repair, with few outside organizations willing to invest in supporting them. Thanks to the generosity of GAF, Charm City Roofing, and Green The Church, Taylor's story has become an exception. Her home will become a place where knowledge is shared, relationships are strengthened, and community members learn from and support one another. Taylor says the experience also reinforced a lesson she hopes others will remember: "Success is your birthright." She encourages others facing difficult circumstances not to lose hope or be afraid to ask for help. Her experience has shown that meaningful partnerships often begin with a single conversation - you just have to be willing to ask. About Green The Church Green The Church equips churches and faith communities to become leaders in environmental stewardship by advancing sustainable infrastructure, clean energy solutions, and climate resilience. Through strategic partnerships, Green The Church helps congregations and communities reduce environmental impact while creating healthier, stronger neighborhoods. About Charm City Roofing Charm City Roofing is a Baltimore-based roofing company dedicated to delivering high-quality residential and commercial roofing solutions with exceptional craftsmanship, integrity, and service.
