“In spring, you’ll see a lot of commercials on television about Rockwall roof repair promotions for Rockwall roof damage done by hail. This is a picture of what hail can do to your shingles. Hail can severely damage your roof in just a few seconds, especially when hail the size of tennis balls hits your roof. But when you’re building your roof you can do a lot of things to prevent damage from occurring by selecting the right shingle.”
“You rarely have to be worried about hail punching through your roof and into your house or attic. Hail typically is smaller than tennis balls and when it impacts your roof, it removes the layer of granules that cover the asphalt shingle like in this photo. Once the protective layer is gone, asphalt deteriorates in the sun, cracks, and water gets under the shingle and causes problems. It can mean having to replace your roof after a big storm — and increased insurance premiums for years. Selecting the right Rockwall roofing materials that are made specifically to withstand hail will keep your home safe in even the toughest storms.”
“TAMKO, the company that provides our roofing materials, has Class 4 UL 2218 rated shingle named the Heritage IR shingle that is perfect for areas that get a lot of hail. UL 2218 ratings were developed in 1996 by Institute of Business and Home Safety (IBHS) and the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) to rate roofing materials on their impact resistance. Classifications range from 1 to 4, 4 being the toughest shingles and most impact resistant. Class 4 shingles are made to withstand a baseball sized hail hitting the shingles at 90 mph.”
“Using TAMKO shingles that are Class 4 rated means that your roof can withstand being pummeled by hail and you won’t have worry about a Rockwall roof replacement due to storm damage. It also means you won’t have increased home insurance premiums and may qualify for discounts or be eligible for higher deductibles for lower rates. While these types of shingles do cost a bit more, they’ll pay for themselves overtime. TAMKO even has a really neat video of how their Class 4 shingles stand up to tests that simulate large hailstones.”
“Instead of worrying about a storm and the potential for Rockwall roof hail damage and feeling unsafe in your home during a storm, Class 4 shingles can give you a peace of mind knowing that your family is protected and you won’t incur extra costs every spring just to replace your broken shingles.”
