What Are Impact Resistant Shingles?
Homes around Santa Rosa have to stand up to a lot. California sun, heavy rainstorms, hail, the occasional fallen tree limb — all of it lands on the roof first. Modern impact resistant shingles are a strong option for homeowners who want to protect the house and stop worrying every time the forecast turns.
When a hailstorm hits, traditional asphalt shingles can suffer badly — major loss of the granule surface, damage to the shingle edges, and direct penetration through the shingle itself. Any of those leads to leaks.
Impact resistant shingles are built for exactly that. They’re manufactured to meet the highest impact standards set by Underwriters Laboratories, along with the wind resistance standards set by UL and the American Society for Testing and Materials. The impact test fires steel balls at shingle samples to measure what they can take.
Class 4 is the top rating. It’s the most resistant to hail damage available, and it’s the class worth asking about if storm protection is what’s driving the decision.
Ask us which Class 4 products we install and what the difference actually looks like on your roof.
Getting Your Shingles
As with traditional asphalt shingles, there’s still colour, design and budget to work through. We know you have questions about the roof, and usually a clear idea of how you want the house to look.
Our team will talk it through with you and review the home, then give you an overview of the options that genuinely fit your situation — not just the most expensive one on the shelf.

Key Qualities Of Impact Resistant Shingles
These shingles are made to last whatever the weather throws at them. Here’s what actually makes the difference.
-
Granules Stay Put
Stronger bonding methods keep the protective granule surface attached to the shingle instead of washing into the gutter after every storm.
-
Less Breakage
A reduced chance of the shingle cracking or breaking apart under direct impact or sustained wind.
-
Better Wind Attachment
Improved attachment to the roof deck, which is what keeps shingles on the house when high winds come through.
-
Resists Penetration
A reduced risk of hail or flying debris punching through the shingle and opening a path for water.
Knowing the roof will hold during a major storm is a kind of peace of mind you don’t get from standard asphalt shingles. If you’re already replacing the roof, this is the upgrade worth thinking hardest about.
