Not all shingles are created equal, and in Paradise Valley, that difference really matters.
We’re swapping out a standard 30-year shingle today for a 50-year Class 4 impact-rated shingle, and the upgrade is worth knowing about.
The old shingle already has granule loss and fiberglass showing through. That’s just age, but it adds up fast in high-wind areas like ours.
The new shingle has a rubber additive that fights granule loss, handles wind better, and earns a Class 4 rating by literally surviving a 2-inch steel ball drop test. Most insurance companies will give you a premium discount just for having it.
Better performance, longer life, potential insurance savings. That’s a win.
