As a homeowner in the Denver Metro area, you know that our weather can turn from sunshine to a hailstorm in minutes. Protecting your home—your biggest investment—requires roofing materials that are as tough as the Colorado climate. At
UB Code Roofing+, we’ve spent 27 years helping families navigate these storms, and there is one upgrade we consistently recommend for long-term peace of mind:
Class 4 Impact Resistant shingles.
What Exactly Are Class 4 Shingles?
Think of Class 4 shingles as the "heavy-duty" option for your home. They are the top-tier of impact resistance, specifically engineered to withstand severe weather. During testing, these shingles are hit with 2-inch steel balls to simulate the force of large hailstones; to earn a Class 4 rating, they must withstand the impact without cracking. Made with reinforced materials like fiberglass mats and specialized SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) polymers, they offer a level of flexibility and toughness that standard asphalt shingles simply can’t match.
The Perks: Insurance Discounts & ROI
One of the most compelling reasons to choose Class 4 shingles for your
Aurora or
Denver Metro home is the potential for insurance savings. Because these roofs are less likely to suffer significant storm damage, many insurance carriers reward homeowners with an
impact resistant roof insurance discount in Colorado, often ranging from 15% to 35% on premiums.
A Simple ROI Example:
- Annual Insurance Premium: $2,000
- Potential Discount (25%): $500/year
- 10-Year Savings: $5,000 (not including avoided repair costs or the increased resale value of your home).
