What Are Impact-Resistant Shingles?

  • Shingles built for hail. On the roof they look like architectural shingles. The difference is inside.
  • A tougher mat. Some use a reinforced fiberglass mat. Others blend rubber-like polymers into the asphalt, so the shingle flexes under a hit.
  • A tested rating. The UL 2218 test drops steel balls on the shingle and checks the back for cracks.
  • Class 3 vs Class 4. A Class 3 shingle survives a 1.75-inch steel ball dropped from 17 feet. A Class 4 shingle survives a 2-inch ball from 20 feet. Class 4 is the top rating.
  • No shingle is hail-proof. Large or wind-driven hail can still damage a Class 4 roof.

Are Impact-Resistant Shingles Worth It?

  • In North Texas, often yes. Hail ends a lot of roofs here early.
  • They cost more. The gap depends on the product line and the size of your roof. We price standard and Class 4 shingles on the same estimate so you can compare.
  • Insurance. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof. The discount and its rules belong to your insurer, so ask your own agent before you choose. We don’t promise savings.
  • How long you’ll own the house. The longer you stay, the more hail seasons the upgrade covers.
  • Lifespan. The rating covers impact. Expect an age range similar to other architectural shingles.

How to Identify Impact-Resistant Shingles

You can’t confirm a Class 4 shingle by looking at the roof from the yard. The manufacturer prints the rating on the bundle wrapper, and some shingles carry a mark on the underside. If you’re buying a house or don’t know what’s up there, ask for the paperwork or the product name from the last roof job. Keep the product documentation from your own install, because your insurer may ask for it.

What Fort Worth Clients Say About Texcore Construction

Common Questions

More than standard architectural shingles. The gap changes with the product line and the size and pitch of your roof. We put both options on one itemized estimate so you see the difference for your house.

Many Texas insurers offer a discount for a Class 4 roof, and each insurer sets its own amount and conditions. Ask your agent what the discount is, what proof they need, and whether it changes anything else in your policy. Texcore isn’t an insurance agent or a public adjuster, so we can’t tell you what your policy will do.

Plan on a range similar to other asphalt shingles. The Class 4 rating measures impact resistance, and age, heat and ventilation still wear the roof. Ask about the manufacturer’s warranty on the product you pick. Our labor carries a five-year warranty.

It can happen in a big storm. We inspect the roof for free, photograph what we find, and give you a written report. Our storm damage page explains the process.
