How We Helped One Client Save $1,000 a Year
Recently, we helped one of our clients — a State Farm customer — save $1,000 a year on their home insurance. After installing a Class IV roof system from Owens Corning, their premiums dropped by nearly $980 annually. By upgrading to a more durable, hail impact-resistant roofing system from Owens Corning, this homeowner now has long-term protection and real savings year after year! It’s just one example of how the right roofing upgrade can pay off.
What Are Class 4 Shingles, Exactly?
Not every shingle can handle Central Texas’ hail-heavy weather. Shingles are tested for impact resistance under the UL 2218 standard, where steel balls are dropped from varying heights to mimic hail. The ratings go from Class 1 (basic protection for small hail) to Class 4—the toughest tier available.
To earn a Class 4 rating, a shingle must withstand a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet, multiple times, without cracking, splitting, or losing granules. Standard shingles often falter under Austin’s storm season, but Class 4 shingles are built to endure the worst and keep your home safe!
Why they pay off:
- Slashes repair bills by resisting storm damage
- Unlocks insurance discounts (up to 35% in many cases—ask your agent!)
- Lasts decades longer with premium warranties
Bottom line: One upgrade protects your home, cuts costs, and adds instant curb appeal!
Owens Corning’s Class 4 Star: Duration STORM®
At McCannical Roofing & Exteriors, we prefer to install Owens Corning’s TruDefinition® Duration STORM® shingles, featuring WeatherGuard® Technology, a polymeric backing that acts like a hidden shield, absorbing impacts that would shatter normal fiberglass shingles.
Duration STORM® shingles install just like traditional asphalt ones, blending seamlessly with your Austin home. Plus, with Owens Corning’s SureNail® Technology—a reinforced strip for superior grip—they stay locked in place through Austin’s gusty winds and sudden downpours.
