Protect your home from Houston’s brutal hail seasons with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles — and save up to 35% on your homeowners insurance premium.
Houston is one of the most hail-active metro areas in the United States. Standard shingles crack and lose granules after a single large-hail event — IR shingles are engineered to take it.
UL 2218 Class 4 tested with steel balls dropped from 20 feet — zero cracking or splitting required to earn the rating.
Texas HB 2102 mandates insurers offer discounts for Class 4 roofs. Most Houston homeowners save $300–$800/year.
Top IR shingles from CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning carry transferable 30-40 yr manufacturer warranties.
Class 4 shingles typically carry 130–150 mph wind ratings — important in Texas hurricane seasons.
Available in dozens of colors and architectural styles — no aesthetic compromise for the added protection.
Buyers notice “Class 4 roof” in listings. It’s a documented upgrade that adds real appraisal value.

Class 3 is tested with a 1.75” steel ball drop; Class 4 uses a 2” ball from greater height. Class 4 is the highest UL 2218 rating and earns the largest insurance discounts in Texas.
Typically 15–25% more per square than standard architectural shingles. Most homeowners recoup the cost difference in insurance savings within 3–5 years.
Class 4 IR shingles carry wind ratings of 130–150 mph — well above the Category 2–3 range. Combined with proper nailing patterns, they perform significantly better in high winds.
There is no federal tax credit specifically for IR shingles, but some metal and cool-roof products qualify for energy efficiency credits. Ask your estimator about available rebates.
