Why Impact-Resistant Shingles Might Be the Upgrade Your Roof Needs.

If you live in a storm-prone area like Texas, you know how brutal hailstorms can be—not just for your car but for your roof too. That’s where impact-resistant shingles come in! At Cupcake Home Improvements, we’re always looking out for ways to help you protect your biggest investment: your home. Let’s dive into why these shingles could be the perfect choice for your next roof upgrade.

What Are Impact-Resistant Shingles Anyway?

Impact-resistant shingles are specially designed to handle tough weather conditions like hail and flying debris. They’re not your typical roofing shingles—these are put through rigorous tests to ensure they can stand up to Mother Nature. For example, the UL 2218 Class 4 test (that’s the gold standard for impact resistance) involves dropping a 2-inch steel ball onto the shingles from 20 feet high. If they can handle that without cracking, they earn the coveted Class 4 rating.

Translation? These shingles can take a hit and keep your roof intact.

Why Choose Impact-Resistant Shingles?

1. Ultimate Durability At Cupcake Home Improvements, we only work with materials we trust, like GAF’s Timberline® AS II shingles. These are made with advanced SBS-modified asphalt, making them flexible and tough against severe weather. Think of it as armor for your roof!

2. Potential Insurance Savings Did you know that many insurance companies offer discounts for installing impact-resistant shingles? By upgrading, you could lower your premiums while protecting your home. Be sure to check with your insurance provider—we can even guide you through the process!

3. Boost Your Home’s Value A durable, storm-ready roof isn’t just practical—it’s also a selling point. If you ever decide to move, having a roof with impact-resistant shingles can make your home more attractive to buyers.
