Products: Residential Roofing: Impact Resistant Shingles

Impact Resistant Metal Roof Impact Resistant Roofing Shingles and Material is a relatively new option for residential and commercial building applications. Lon Smith Roofing believes Impact Resistant roofing shingles can be a great option for many homeowners. Texas receives more than its fair share of damaging hail so this option is one worth consideration.

Between 1991 and 1995, wind and hail caused an average of $8 billion in insurance payouts each year. Wind and hail damage to roofs comprises a significant portion of this cost. Hail damage to asphalt shingles may include severe granule loss, material loss at shingle edges, and penetration.

New Impact Resistant shingle products are designed to resist damage from impact and high winds. They meet the most stringent standards for impact resistance (Class 4) set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and wind resistance set by UL and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International).

Several manufacturers offer asphalt shingles designed to resist the effects of severe weather such as wind and impact from flying debris or hail. Different proprietary methods are used to keep granules attached to the shingle, to prevent shingle breaking during impact, and to keep shingles attached to the sheathing during high winds.

UL 2218 classifies the resistance of roofing products to impact damage. In the test, steel balls are directed at roof samples, and damage is observed. Products that receive a Class 4 rating from UL 2218 are the most resistive to hail damage. Some major insurance companies are offering homeowner premium discounts for the use of roofing products that receive a Class 4 rating. Consult with your Lon Smith Roofing expert for details on these discounts.

Incredible job

Dear Lon Smith Roofing,

I wanted to tell you how impressed my wife and I were with Trey Bailey when he responded to my call regarding a residential roofing job we needed done. Lon Smith did an incredible job on the roof and I was very impressed with Trey. After my wife and I met with him the first time, we agreed we were not going to get other bids. We both agreed we wanted Lon Smith Roofing to re-roof our home. Trey was very knowledgeable and personable, and he provided detailed easy to understand answers to our questions. We were very impressed and wanted to make sure this was communicated to the company on his behalf.

Thanks,
Lee B

To Whom It May Concern:

To say it has been a pleasure doing with business with Lon Smith Roofing would be an understatement. Every detail was seen to from the salesman, Chris Cook, to the last nail being removed from the yard to leaving things as you found them.

Remarkable and Efficient

Mr Payne was wonderful - the roofing crew, remarkable and efficient. They answered all my questions. They worked together like a well oiled machine. There's no way you could improve on any of them. You are all the best.
