The Best Class 4 Shingles for Texas Hail

We install every major shingle brand, so we don't have a favorite to sell you. Here are the Class 4 lines homeowners ask us about most, and how to choose between them for a North Texas roof.

The main Class 4 lines

Product names and ratings are as published by each manufacturer and can change. We confirm the current UL 2218 rating of the exact product before we order it.

How to choose

  • Insurer first. Some carriers keep a list of products they credit. Check it.
  • Look and color. Most Class 4 lines come in the same colors as standard lines; HOA approval is usually easy.
  • Warranty. Manufacturer warranty tiers depend on the accessories used. Residential warranty: a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty, with manufacturer warranties up to lifetime. Manufacturer coverage depends on the product and brand, and on the project qualifying for that manufacturer's program. We put the exact warranty for your roof in writing.
  • Budget. Class 4 costs more than Class 3. If your insurer gives no meaningful credit, Class 3 may be the better buy.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Class 4 shingle?

There is no single best one. The leading Class 4 lines from Atlas, GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Malarkey, TAMKO and IKO all carry the top UL 2218 rating. Choose based on your insurer, the look you want, and the warranty.

Do you install all of these brands?

Yes. We have installed every major shingle brand over 30 years of roofing.

Are Class 4 shingles hail-proof?

No roof is hail-proof. Class 4 means the product passed the toughest standard impact test, so it resists damage better than lower-rated products.
