FAQs
What makes impact-resistant shingles different from standard asphalt shingles?
Impact-resistant (IR) shingles are engineered with a reinforced polymer or rubberized asphalt core that allows them to absorb and disperse the energy of hailstones, wind-borne debris, and falling branches without cracking. They undergo UL 2218 testing and must achieve a Class 4 rating—the highest available—to be called “impact-resistant.” Standard shingles can fracture under the same impacts, leading to leaks and premature roof failure.
How well do Class 4 impact-resistant shingles perform in New Market’s weather conditions?
New Market experiences wide temperature swings, summer thunderstorms, and occasional hail. Class 4 shingles have been laboratory-tested to withstand 2-inch steel balls dropped from 20 feet, a force comparable to severe hail. Their flexible composition also resists thermal cracking during winter freezes and UV degradation in hot, humid summers. Because of these properties, many homeowners in New Market report fewer storm-related repairs and longer overall roof life when upgrading to IR shingles.
Can installing impact-resistant shingles lower my homeowner’s insurance premiums in New Market?
Many insurers operating in Virginia offer discounts of 10–30 % on the wind or hail portion of premiums for roofs certified as Class 4. After your installation, we provide the UL 2218 compliance certificate that your insurance agent needs. Savings vary by carrier, so we recommend calling your agent in advance to confirm the exact credit and any documentation requirements.
Will impact-resistant shingles coordinate with my existing siding colors and styles?
Yes. Modern IR shingle lines come in architectural and designer profiles with up to 25 color blends—from subtle weathered wood tones to bold slates—that complement vinyl, fiber-cement, or engineered-wood siding palettes. During our free consultation, we bring full-size shingle and siding samples, create digital renderings, and help you mix and match ridge caps, trim metal, and siding accessories for a seamless exterior look.
How long does an impact-resistant shingle roofing project take in New Market, and will it disrupt my routine?
Most single-family homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in 1–2 days, weather permitting. We start with a pre-job walkthrough, protect landscaping with tarps, and use a magnet sweep daily to pick up nails. Because IR shingles are installed much like standard architectural shingles, there’s no added installation time. You can remain in your home throughout the project; brief noise and vibration are the main disruptions.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with your impact-resistant shingle and siding solutions?
Our preferred IR shingles carry a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects, a 15-year enhanced wind warranty up to 130 mph, and a 10-year algae-resistance warranty. When we install matching siding, you receive up to a 30-year fade and weathering warranty, depending on the product line. We back every project with a 5-year workmanship guarantee. Maintenance is simple: annual roof and siding inspections, gutter cleaning, and prompt removal of debris. No special coatings or treatments are required to keep the impact rating intact.
