FAQs
What are impact-rated shingles and why are they recommended for Beersheba Springs?
Impact-rated shingles are asphalt or composite shingles that have passed the UL 2218 Class 3 or Class 4 impact test, meaning they can withstand the force of large hailstones or falling debris without cracking. Beersheba Springs sees frequent spring and summer thunderstorms that bring hail and high winds off the Cumberland Plateau, so choosing an impact-rated product greatly reduces roof damage and the need for emergency repairs.
Will impact-rated shingles lower my homeowners-insurance premium?
Many insurance carriers that serve Grundy County offer a 5–25 % discount for Class 4 roofs because they have a proven track record of fewer hail claims. After installation, we supply the shingle manufacturer’s certification letter so you can submit it to your insurer. Savings vary by carrier, so we always recommend confirming the exact discount with your agent before the project starts.
How do impact-rated shingles compare in cost and lifespan to standard architectural shingles?
Material costs typically run 10–20 % higher, but the shingles last longer—30 to 50 years depending on the manufacturer—because they resist granule loss, tears and punctures. When you factor in fewer repairs and possible insurance savings, the long-term cost of ownership is often lower than with a conventional 30-year shingle.
Does installing impact-rated shingles require special tools or roof reinforcement?
No structural reinforcement is needed; your existing roof deck will work as long as it meets current Tennessee building codes. Our crews use standard pneumatic nailers but follow the manufacturer’s nailing pattern (usually six nails per shingle instead of four) and install matching Class A impact-rated ridge cap shingles. This ensures the roof meets warranty and insurance requirements.
Can you match my new impact-rated roof with siding that also improves storm resistance?
Yes. We carry fiber-cement and insulated vinyl siding systems that meet ASTM D7793 impact criteria, resisting hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter and wind speeds up to 200 mph. Choosing both products together creates a cohesive exterior that stands up to hail, wind-driven rain and temperature swings common in Beersheba Springs.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your impact-rated roofing and siding packages?
Most Class 4 shingles we install include a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty plus a 10-year workmanship warranty from us. Our premium fiber-cement siding carries a 30-year material warranty and 15-year finish warranty. Maintenance is minimal: annual gutter cleaning, inspection after major storms and repainting fiber-cement every 10–12 years. We offer complimentary annual inspections for the first five years to keep your warranties in force.
