Impact Resistant Shingles

Will impact resistant roof shingles save you money?

Homeowners insurance isn’t cheap, especially in states that are hard hit with storms each year. Texas ranks first in the number of hail storms each year followed by Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Information provided by State Farm states they recorded their fifth highest claim payout ever, when 68,000 claims were filed in Fort Worth, Texas in 1992.

Why this is important for Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana

We live in a geographic zone that “by nature” can produce massive thunder, hail laden, storms. The Gulf moisture pumps up to our area and meets the descending mountain cool air that can explode into tornados, hail storms, and torrential rains. Mix in rapid temperature changes that Texas and Oklahoma get and you have the makings of some dangerous damaging weather.

How much savings?

In order to receive a discount, you must install a roof material that;

• has been tested by Underwriters Laboratory
• has a certification, called a UL Listing, of Levels 1,2,3, or 4.
• You must live in a designated area for hail damage

Level 4 is the highest resistance rating and brings the highest discount of 35%; but there is that catch of where you live, based on potential for hail damage loss. The discount goes all the way down to 1% if you live in the lowest rated hail zone and use a Level 1 UL rated roof material. You can get a list of roofs with complying with UL 2218 at State Farm Impact-Resistant List.

How was the Underwriters Laboratory rating created?

Steel balls, weighted and measured, were dropped from different heights to measure consistently the damage to each roof type submitted. A base measurement was established for each of the Levels. Those roof materials with recorded damage below each levels maximum, received the corresponding certification. Most certified roof materials are Level 4, the highest category.

Where to get more information

It wouldn’t make much sense to tear off an good, existing roof to install an impact-resistant new roof; but when your roof gets older before you have problems there local Dallas Roofing Experts that can help with deciding what to do. Impact-resistant shingles are more expensive today, but also lower your insurance costs saving you money in the long run.

Choose the Right Contractor

Choosing a roofing contractor is a very important decision, that will effect you for years to come. We suggest that you investigate all of the following items before choosing a contractor for your home or business:

• The contractor you choose NEEDS to have insurance. Allowing an un-insured company to perform work on your property is a bad decision. For example, if an employee from an un-insured roofing company falls off your roof, and is injured, the property owner is likely to be the party that will be liable.
• You also need to look into the history of the company. Are they a member of the BBB? If so, do they have a good rating? The BBB is a good tool to use when selecting a roofing contractor, it can protect you from selecting someone that other customers have had a bad experience with. Alpine Roofing Construction has maintained an A rating with the Dallas, Fort Worth, and Oklahoma City Better Business Bureaus.
• How much experience does this contractor have? Do they have experience with the kind of roofing system that are installing on your home? Alpine Roofing Construction has over 70 years combined experience and has been in business since the late '90s. We have crew members that have abundant experience in nearly every type of roofing system.

Radiant barrier is a good investment for consumers to make, but we often get callers who don't really know all the benefits or cost effectiveness of radiant barrier. Radiant barrier is designed to block 97% of radiant heat transfer, this will keep your attic and the interior of your residence a lot cooler. Radiant barrier typically causes your A/C unit to run around 1/3 of the normal operating time, which will obviously reduce your energy costs. Radiant barrier normally pays for itself anywhere from 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years, so it will shortly become a big benefit for your monthly costs of heating/cooling your home. Radiant barrier comes with a lifetime warranty so you will only have to pay for it once! Installing radiant barrier will also increase the value of your home if you ever decide to sell it.

Licensed City of Dallas Contractor

As you may or may not know, the State of Texas does NOT require construction contractors to hold a license. This creates an opportunity for anyone who wants to start a construction, roofing, or any other business of that type to be able to if they want to. In other states there are tests that have to be passed by the contractor to be able to perform business in that state. Alpine Roofing Construction is a licensed home repair agent in the City of Dallas. This means our corporation was approved to perform business in the city. We recommend that when you a hire a contractor of any type, you make sure they have this certification. This gives you some kind of peace of mind that the entity you are hiring is at least a legitimate company. There are tons of "fly by night" companies that have scammed home and business owners, and not performed up to the customers expectations. Alpine Roofing Construction is a reliable roofing and construction company, with thousands of happy customers. We carry an A rating in the Dallas and Fort Worth Better Business Bureaus.
