FAQs
What makes impact-rated shingles different from standard asphalt shingles?
Impact-rated shingles are engineered with a thicker, rubber-modified asphalt layer and reinforced fiberglass mat that allow them to absorb and disperse the energy from hail or wind-blown debris. They are tested under UL 2218 or FM 4473 standards and must withstand a Class 3 or Class 4 steel-ball impact without cracking. Standard shingles generally meet only basic wind and fire codes and can fracture, dent, or lose granules more easily during severe Jasper hailstorms.
How do impact-rated shingles affect my homeownerâs insurance premiums in Jasper?
Many insurers serving Pickens County offer 10â30 % discounts on premiums when a certified Class 4 impact-resistant roofing system is installed. After we complete your roof, we provide all required documentation and certifications so you can submit proof directly to your carrier. Savings vary by company, so we recommend calling your agent in advance to confirm their specific impact-resistant roof credit program.
Are there any aesthetic or color limitations with impact-rated roofing shingles?
No. Leading manufacturers such as GAF, Owens Corning, Malarkey, and CertainTeed offer impact-rated lines that mimic architectural, designer, and even slate-style profiles. You can choose from dozens of colorsâincluding weathered wood, onyx black, and coastal slateâso your new impact-resistant roof complements your homeâs siding, trim, and Jasperâs neighborhood guidelines.
Can you install impact-rated shingles and new siding at the same time?
Absolutely. Coordinating roof and siding replacement minimizes labor costs, reduces project duration by 20â30 %, and ensures consistent flashing and moisture-management details across walls and roof edges. Our crews schedule roofing first, then complete vinyl, fiber-cement, or engineered-wood siding so drip edges, starter strips, and house wrap integrate seamlessly. Doing both together also gives you a single manufacturerâs color palette and a unified workmanship warranty.
What warranties are offered on your impact-rated shingle and siding solutions?
Our Class 4 shingles come with a limited lifetime material warranty and up to 50-year non-prorated coverage when installed with the full manufacturerâs accessory system. We back our workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty. For siding, James Hardie fiber-cement carries a 30-year transferable warranty, while premium vinyl options offer a limited lifetime guarantee. All warranties are registered on your behalf, giving Jasper homeowners peace of mind and added resale value.
Do impact-rated roofs require special maintenance compared to regular shingles?
Maintenance is virtually identical: keep gutters clean, trim overhanging branches, and schedule an inspection after major storms. However, impact-rated shingles typically retain granules longer and resist surface bruising, so youâll see fewer repair calls over the roofâs 30- to 50-year life span. We include an annual checkupâfree for the first five yearsâto document condition for insurance and catch minor siding or roof issues before they escalate.
