IMPACT-RESISTANT SHINGLES
Maximum hail protection with insurance-saving benefits. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles withstand the toughest hail while potentially reducing your homeowner's insurance premiums by 15-30%.
Expert Impact-Resistant Shingles Services in Lake County
Impact-resistant shingles are engineered to survive hailstorms that would damage standard roofing. Rated Class 4 by Underwriters Laboratories (UL)—the highest impact rating available—these shingles use specialized construction to absorb and distribute impact energy.
Beyond protection, impact-resistant shingles offer a compelling financial benefit: many insurance companies offer premium discounts of 15-30% for roofs with Class 4 rated shingles. In Florida, where insurance costs are substantial, these savings can partially or fully offset the higher shingle cost.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles for homeowners who want maximum protection and potential insurance savings. We provide documentation of your roof's impact rating to support your insurance discount application.
Why Impact Resistance Matters in Florida
Hail damage is more common than many realize. While Florida isn't hail country like Texas or Colorado, severe thunderstorms do produce damaging hail. A single hailstorm can destroy an unprotected roof, leading to expensive replacement and interior damage.
Insurance savings add up quickly. A 20% discount on a $4,000 annual premium saves $800 per year. Over a 25-year roof life, that's $20,000 in savings—more than offsetting the cost of impact-resistant shingles.
Debris impact matters too. Impact-resistant shingles handle flying debris from storms and falling branches better than standard shingles. This broader protection justifies the upgrade even without considering hail.

Common Questions
Impact-resistant shingles typically cost 15-25% more than standard architectural shingles. For a typical roof, that's $1,500-3,000 additional. Insurance savings of 15-30% often recover this cost within 3-5 years.
Most insurers offer discounts for Class 4 rated roofs, but discount amounts vary by company and policy. We recommend confirming with your insurer before installation. We provide documentation to support your application.
Class 4 is the highest impact rating under UL 2218 testing. Shingles must withstand a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking or splitting. Class 1-3 represent progressively lower impact resistance.
No—impact-resistant shingles are available in the same colors and styles as standard architectural shingles. The impact resistance comes from construction, not appearance. Your roof looks just as beautiful.
Excellent. While Florida sees less hail than some states, the insurance discounts make impact-resistant shingles financially attractive. The debris protection is also valuable during hurricane season.
GAF Armor Shield II, Owens Corning Duration Flex, and CertainTeed Presidential Impact Resistant are among the options. Each offers Class 4 rating in various colors and styles.
