INFO ON RECOMMENDED SHINGLES

NAILED IT ROOFING LLC takes great pride in using only quality shingles for your roof. All our shingles are either Class 3 or Class 4 (highest) impact rated shingles. A Class 3 or Class 4 rating refers to how well a roofing shingle can resist impact on its surface (i.e. mainly hail). The Class 3 rating offers “High Resistance” to hail damage while the Class 4 (best available) offers “Maximum Resistance” to hail damage.
The below shingles are those that we recommend for installation. All of the below shingles are not only rated as Class 3 or Class 4 for impact resistance, but also offer 110-130 mph wind resistance as well as resistance to Algae growth (streaks).
Note: Insurance companies often give discounts for homes with Class 3/Class 4 rated shingles. We suggest you call your agent to see how much you can save!!!!
