FAQs
What are impact-rated shingles and why are they beneficial for storm-prone Pikeville?
Impact-rated shingles are asphalt shingles that have been laboratory-tested (UL 2218) to resist hailstones and wind-driven debris without cracking. They carry a Class 3 or Class 4 rating, with Class 4 providing the highest impact resistance. In Pikeville, where spring and summer storms regularly bring hail and high winds, impact-rated shingles help prevent leaks, granule loss, and premature roof failure, keeping your home watertight and lowering long-term repair costs.
How can I tell if my current roof has storm damage that warrants replacement with impact-rated shingles?
Warning signs include bruised or missing shingles, exposed fiberglass mat, pockmarks in metal flashing, dented gutters, water stains on ceilings, and large amounts of asphalt granules in downspouts. If you notice any of these after a storm, schedule a professional roof inspection. Our certified technicians perform a free, no-obligation assessment using drones and on-roof evaluations to document damage and determine whether repair or full replacement with impact-rated shingles is the most cost-effective solution.
What is the installation process for impact-rated shingle roofing after storm damage?
1. Emergency tarp or board-up to prevent further water intrusion. 2. Detailed inspection and photographic report for you and your insurer. 3. Insurance claim assistance and scope alignment to ensure all storm damage is covered. 4. Tear-off of damaged roofing down to the deck and inspection for hidden structural issues. 5. Replacement of any rotten decking, followed by upgraded synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield in critical areas. 6. Installation of Class 4 impact-rated shingles, high-profile ridge caps, and enhanced nailing patterns to meet 130-mph wind warranties. 7. Final magnetic cleanup, inspection, and warranty registration.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover upgrading to impact-rated shingles during storm damage restoration in Pikeville?
Most carriers pay to restore your roof to its pre-loss condition, but many will allow or even incentivize an upgrade to impact-rated shingles. You typically pay the difference between standard and impact-rated materials, but some insurers offer discounts of 15–30 % on annual premiums once impact-rated shingles are installed. We work directly with adjusters to explore all available code-upgrade provisions and cost-share options so you can make an informed decision.
How long do impact-rated shingles last compared to standard asphalt shingles?
Standard architectural shingles in our region average 18-22 years before hail, UV, and thermal cycling degrade them. Class 4 impact-rated shingles often carry 30- to 50-year limited material warranties and can realistically last 25-35 years because they resist hail bruising, granule loss, and tearing in high winds. Their longer service life frequently offsets the small upfront cost difference.
