How much more is an impact-resistant roof?
Roofing education reviewed by the ROOF.CLICK team. Product specifications referenced from manufacturer documentation.
Short answer
Upgrading to a Class 4 impact-resistant system costs more per square than the value system. In hail-prone areas, some insurers may offer discounts for qualifying impact-resistant roofing, which can help offset the upgrade over time.
In more detail
ROOF.CLICK's value architectural shingle is the lowest-cost system. Stepping up to the Class 4 impact-resistant system costs more per square, and the StormMaster Shake and stone-coated steel systems cost more still — all three carry the Class 4 rating. Some insurers may offer discounts for qualifying impact-resistant roofing; eligibility and savings vary by insurer, policy, and location, so ask your insurance provider. A Class 4 roof can also mean fewer hail-damage repairs over time. The 60 Second Roof Quote shows you the exact upgrade cost on your specific roof.

What is Class 4?
Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance rating under UL 2218 — it means a shingle survived a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking.
Insurance QuestionsWill my insurance pay for storm damage?
If a storm caused documented damage (hail, wind), your homeowner's insurance may cover replacement minus your deductible. ROOF.CLICK can help document the damage.
Roof CostsWhat determines the cost of a roof replacement?
Roof replacement cost comes down to size (measured in squares), pitch, complexity, tear-off, and the roofing system you choose — not a single flat price per home.
Atlas RoofingWhat is the difference between Atlas Pinnacle Pristine and Pinnacle Impact?
Atlas Pinnacle Pristine is ROOF.CLICK's value architectural shingle. Atlas Pinnacle Impact costs more per square and adds a Class 4 impact-resistance rating — the highest available — which may qualify you for an insurance discount. Both include Scotchgard™ algae-resistant granules.
