FAQs
What are impact-rated shingles and why are they recommended for homes in Luttrell?
Impact-rated shingles (often Class 4) are asphalt or composite shingles engineered and tested to resist damage from hail and wind-blown debris. Because Luttrell sits in a region that can experience sudden hailstorms and high winds, these shingles help reduce the risk of roof punctures, granule loss, and premature leaks. Choosing impact-rated shingles means fewer repair bills, longer roof life, and in many cases lower homeowners-insurance premiums.
How do impact-rated shingles compare in cost to standard architectural shingles?
On average, Class 4 impact-rated shingles run 10–25 % more in material cost than comparable architectural shingles. However, the overall installed price difference is smaller (usually 6–15 %) because labor and accessories are nearly the same. When you factor in potential insurance discounts (5–35 % depending on your carrier), fewer storm-related repairs, and a longer service life, impact-rated shingles typically pay for themselves within the first 5–7 years.
Can I combine impact-rated roofing with new siding for a complete exterior upgrade?
Yes. Our Luttrell-based crews routinely install impact-rated roofing and high-performance vinyl or fiber-cement siding during the same project. Coordinating the two trades means color-matching trims, sharing scaffolding, and streamlining debris removal—saving time and money. Bundling both services also extends your entire exterior’s warranty coverage under a single contractor, simplifying future service calls.
Will my homeowners insurance provide a discount for installing Class 4 shingles?
Most insurers serving Luttrell offer discounts between 5 % and 35 % on the wind/hail portion of your premium once Class 4 shingles are verified. After we finish your roof, we supply a manufacturer’s Class 4 certification letter and photos you can forward to your agent. Exact savings depend on your carrier and policy terms, so we recommend calling your agent beforehand to confirm potential credits.
How long does it take to install impact-rated shingles and new siding on an average Luttrell home?
A typical 2,000–2,500 sq ft single-story home takes 1–2 days for tear-off and installation of impact-rated shingles, weather permitting. Adding full vinyl or fiber-cement siding replacement extends the project by 4–6 days. We schedule roofing first to ensure your home is watertight, then follow with siding crews. All debris is removed daily, and final inspections are performed with the homeowner present.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your impact-rated roofing and siding solutions?
Our primary Class 4 shingles carry a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty plus a 130 mph wind warranty when installed with the full accessory system. We add a 10-year workmanship guarantee covering leaks related to installation. Vinyl siding includes a transferable lifetime fade-resistant warranty; fiber-cement siding carries a 30-year product warranty and 15-year finish warranty. Routine maintenance involves annual roof-and-gutter inspections, clearing debris, and washing siding with mild detergent every 12–18 months to prevent staining.
