Historic May 21st Installation Marks Major Leap for Solar Roofing in the State
Turner Home Improvement Contractors, a trusted name in Connecticut home exteriors since 1955, is making history as the first contractor in the state to install GAF’s Timberline Solar® ES 2 shingles. The milestone project begins May 21st and signals another turning point for clean energy adoption in Connecticut. The Timberline Solar® ES 2 system is GAF’s next-generation solar roofing solution— delivering 23% more power, faster install times, and enhanced design flexibility over its predecessor. What sets it apart is that it’s the first true nailable solar shingle, installed directly by roofing professionals using standard roofing tools. "We’ve been advocating hard to bring Timberline Solar™ to Connecticut,” says Corey Turner, Owner of Turner Home Improvement Contractors. “Since the product launch in 2022, we’ve been watching the national rollout closely and urging manufacturers and distributors to get this into the hands of Connecticut homeowners. We’re beyond excited to finally install Gen 2 Solar here—it’s sleek, it's powerful, and best of all, it’s covered by the same leading warranty that backs traditional GAF roofing products. Homeowners now have one company to contact for any questions, service, or warranty support—it’s a huge win for reliability and peace of mind." Unlike bulky rack-mounted panels, Timberline Solar® ES 2 integrates directly into the roofline, maintaining the curb appeal of the home while delivering clean, renewable energy. It’s backed by GAF’s industry-leading warranties, providing unified coverage for both the roof and the solar components—no finger-pointing between multiple manufacturers or installers. As a GAF Master Elite® Contractor and now Connecticut’s first certified Timberline Solar installer, Turner Home Improvement Contractors continues to lead with innovation while staying true to their roots of honesty, quality craftsmanship, and personalized service.
