FAQs
What makes impact-rated shingles different from standard asphalt shingles?
Impact-rated shingles carry a Class 4 rating under the UL 2218 impact test, meaning they can withstand a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without showing cracks or ruptures. They are manufactured with a reinforced fiberglass or polymer-modified asphalt core that absorbs energy from hail and wind-blown debris. Compared with conventional three-tab shingles, Class 4 products last longer, resist granule loss, hold their seal in high winds up to 130 mph, and can reduce the likelihood of costly storm repairs in Crab Orchard.
How do impact-rated shingles help homeowners in Crab Orchard’s hail-prone climate?
Southern West Virginia sees frequent spring and summer hailstorms. Impact-rated shingles minimize surface bruising and prevent the fractures that allow water to reach your roof deck. Because they stay intact after hail strikes, they also deter premature leaks that often lead to interior ceiling stains or mold growth. For Crab Orchard homeowners, this translates into fewer emergency calls after a storm, a longer roof service life, and better resale value for the property.
Can impact-rated roofing be paired with durable siding for a cohesive exterior upgrade?
Yes. We offer complete envelope solutions that combine Class 4 impact-rated shingles with high-performance fiber-cement or insulated vinyl siding. Both siding options carry similar impact and wind ratings, resist fading, and are available in complementary color palettes. Our design team can produce 3-D renderings so you can preview roof shingle tones alongside siding, trim, and gutter colors, ensuring a unified curb appeal before installation begins.
Will installing impact-rated shingles lower my homeowner’s insurance premiums in Crab Orchard?
Many insurers that serve Raleigh County provide discounts—often 5-15%—for homes protected by UL 2218 Class 4 roofing. After we finish your installation we supply the insurer with a manufacturer’s certification letter, photos, and the shingle product data sheet to help you claim the credit. While each carrier’s rules differ, most apply the discount for the life of the roof, delivering significant long-term savings that offset part of the upgrade cost.
What warranties and lifespan can I expect from your impact-rated roof and siding systems?
Our primary shingle line comes with a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty plus a 15-year Class 4 hail warranty and 130 mph wind warranty when installed with the full roofing system components. Labor is covered for 10 years under our workmanship guarantee. Fiber-cement siding carries a 30-year substrate warranty and 15-year finish warranty; insulated vinyl siding offers a double-lifetime transferable warranty. In Crab Orchard’s climate, you can expect 30-40 years of service from the roof and 40-50 years from the siding with routine maintenance.
How long does a typical impact-rated shingle roof and siding installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard single-family Crab Orchard roof (2,000–3,000 sq ft) is usually completed in 1–2 days, including tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, shingle installation, and site clean-up. Full siding replacement adds another 2–4 days depending on architectural details. We schedule material deliveries the day before work starts, use magnetic rollers to collect nails daily, and keep access to driveways and entryways clear whenever possible. Most homeowners remain in the house with minimal disruption, and our crew chief is on-site to address any concerns in real time.
