BC Exteriors LLC, a GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor, offers the GAF Energy Timberline Solar Roofing System to homeowners across Michigan. As a roofing company in Fenton, MI, the firm provides expert installation of these integrated solar shingles, which combine traditional asphalt roofing aesthetics with solar energy generation capabilities suited to the state's variable climate.
The Timberline Solar system features the first nailable solar shingles, allowing installation using standard roofing tools and techniques alongside conventional GAF Timberline asphalt shingles. Each shingle produces approximately 57 watts, with a square of roofing, or 100 square feet, capable of generating up to 1.7 kilowatts. The design maintains a low profile that blends seamlessly with existing rooflines, avoiding the appearance of bulky solar panels. Shingles measure 68 ¾ inches long by 16 ⅞ inches wide by 1 inch high and weigh 10.1 pounds each. Installation requires a minimum roof pitch of 2:12.
These solar shingles incorporate high-efficiency monocrystalline cells and meet rigorous performance standards. They hold ratings for wind speeds up to ASTM D3161 Class F, Class 4 impact resistance, and Class A fire resistance, along with certifications including UL 3741, UL 7103, UL 2218 Class 4 Impact, and ANSI/UL 790 Class A Fire. The system performs in conditions involving heavy snowfall, ice, and temperature fluctuations common in Michigan, supporting reduced reliance on the electrical grid and contributing to clean energy production.
BC Exteriors LLC installs the system on both new roofs and compatible existing Timberline roofs. The nailable design simplifies the process, with one crew handling both the roofing and solar components. Homeowners in Fenton, Linden, and surrounding communities, including Bloomfield Hills, Grand Blanc, Brighton, Howell, Rochester, Lake Orion, Clarkston, Flint, Oxford, Shelby Township, Grosse Pointe, Holly, and Lake Fenton, have access to these services through the company's network of consultants stationed throughout Michigan counties.
The GAF Timberline Solar Shingle and Accessory Limited Warranty applies, with extended protection available through the GAF Golden Pledge Limited Warranty. This provides 50 years of non-prorated coverage on materials and 25 years on workmanship when installed by a GAF Master Elite contractor. The warranty requires at least five GAF accessories, mandatory factory inspections, and covers manufacturing defects as well as certain installation errors. It remains fully transferable to future owners. Annual inspections and snow clearing help maintain performance, similar to traditional asphalt roofing maintenance.
Federal incentives, including the 30 percent Investment Tax Credit as of 2025, along with Michigan's Distributed Generation Program, offer additional financial considerations for qualifying installations. Total costs for a complete system in Michigan typically range from 20,000 to 50,000 dollars before incentives, depending on roof size, orientation, and shading factors.
Chad Beard, owner of BC Exteriors LLC, noted the system's alignment with regional needs. "The Timberline Solar Roofing System allows homeowners in Michigan to generate solar power while maintaining the familiar look and durability of premium asphalt shingles," said Beard. "Its design and performance ratings address the specific weather challenges we see across the state, from heavy snow loads to wind events."
Beard added further context on installation expertise. "As a GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor, our team follows manufacturer guidelines for proper integration, ensuring the system meets warranty requirements through certified methods and required inspections," he stated.
BC Exteriors LLC brings years of experience in residential and commercial roofing, gutters, and siding to each project. The company emphasizes quality materials, trained installers, and customer involvement throughout the process.
