What Are Class 3 and Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles?

If you live in Dallas–Fort Worth, your roof needs to be tough. That’s why many homeowners upgrade to impact-resistant shingles—especially after a storm.

Understanding the Shingle Ratings

Shingles are rated by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) for impact resistance:

• Class 3: Can withstand smaller hail and debris

• Class 4: Top-rated for hail and impact resistance (up to 2” hailstones)

Benefits of Upgrading to Class 4 in DFW

• Lower insurance premiums (many carriers offer discounts)

• Less chance of storm-related damage

• Long-term durability and fewer repairs

• Increases home value
