FAQs
What are impact-rated shingles and why are they important in Jefferson City?
Impact-rated shingles are asphalt or composite roofing products that have passed UL 2218 testing, proving they can withstand hailstones up to 2" in diameter without cracking. Jefferson City residents regularly see severe thunderstorms, hail, and the occasional tornado, so a Class 3 or Class 4 impact rating dramatically lowers the chance of roof leaks, premature granule loss, and costly emergency repairs. By choosing these shingles you are effectively buying an extra layer of storm security that is specifically engineered for Mid-Missouri’s weather patterns.
How can Class 4 impact-resistant shingles affect my homeowners-insurance premiums?
Most major insurers that underwrite policies in Cole and Callaway counties offer 10-30 % discounts when a verifiable Class 4 roof is installed. After our crew completes your project we supply the UL 2218 compliance certificate and photos your agent requires, making the discount process seamless. Lower premiums, combined with fewer deductible-triggering claims, mean many homeowners recoup the small up-front upgrade cost within the first 3–5 years.
Can impact-resistant shingles be combined with energy-efficient siding solutions?
Absolutely. Our crews frequently pair Class 4 roofs with insulated vinyl, fiber-cement, or engineered-wood siding systems. The siding’s built-in foam backer raises your wall’s R-value, while cool-roof shingle pigments reflect solar heat from above. Together they help stabilize indoor temperatures, reduce HVAC run-time, and may qualify for local utility rebates from Ameren Missouri. Coordinating both projects at once also eliminates mismatched trim lines and reduces overall labor costs.
Will upgrading to impact-rated shingles significantly increase my roofing budget?
Class 4 shingles are typically $30–$45 per roofing square more than standard architectural shingles. On an average 28-square Jefferson City home, that works out to roughly $900–$1,300 of additional material cost. Because the underlayment, flashing, and labor remain the same, the total project price usually rises less than 8 %. When you factor in potential insurance discounts, lower repair bills, and a longer service life, most homeowners find the return on investment strongly favors the upgrade.
How long does it take to install new impact-rated shingles and siding on a typical home?
A straightforward re-roof using impact-rated shingles takes our certified crew 1–2 days, including tear-off, deck inspection, and final magnetic nail sweep. Full siding replacement on a two-story, 2,000-sq-ft house adds another 3–5 days depending on the material selected and any soffit/fascia work. By coordinating both scopes we often cut a day off total build time, minimize dumpster fees, and reduce disruption to your household.
What warranty and maintenance support do you offer for your impact-rated roofing and siding systems?
All Class 4 shingles we install carry the manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty plus a 10-year algae-resistance guarantee. Because we are a factory-certified contractor, you also receive a 15-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks caused by installation errors—not just materials. Our siding lines come with 30–50-year fade and delamination warranties. After project completion, we schedule complimentary inspections at years 1, 5, and 10 to ensure seals, caulking, and fasteners remain weather-tight, giving you long-term peace of mind.
