Pick your armor.
Texas weather is brutal. Your roof should be brutal back. HALE YEAH — compare ratings, warranties, and upgrade paths.
Shingle ratings, decoded.
3-Tab Standard
Single-layer asphalt shingle with a flat, uniform three-tab cutout. The lightest and most economical option — typically rated for 60 MPH winds with no impact resistance. Common on older Texas homes and rental properties.
Architectural
Multi-layer laminated asphalt shingle with a dimensional, staggered profile that mimics wood shake. Rated for 110–130 MPH winds and the default replacement shingle most Texas carriers will fund.
Impact Resistant
Architectural shingle reinforced with a modified rubberized polymer (SBS) backing that flexes on hail impact instead of cracking. UL 2218 Class 4 certified — qualifies for an annual premium discount with most Texas insurers.
Designer Luxury
Heavyweight multi-layer shingle engineered to replicate natural slate or hand-split cedar shake. Algae-resistant copper granules, deeper shadow lines, and the longest manufacturer warranties on the market.
Your insurance pays the baseline. You pay only the upgrade delta to step into a Class 4 impact or Designer Luxury shingle — often offset by reduced annual premiums. We model every option before you sign. HALE YEAH, we'll show you the math.
Beyond asphalt.
Standing Seam Metal
24-gauge steel or aluminum panels with concealed fasteners and raised vertical seams running up the slope. Class 4 impact, Class A fire, 40–70 year service life. Reflective Kynar 500 finishes drop attic temps 10–25°F in Texas summers.
Stone-Coated Steel
28-gauge steel pressed into shake, tile, or shingle profiles and surfaced with crushed-stone granules. Horizontal panel courses, CAT-5 wind ratings, Class 4 hail. See our TEK HURRICANE® lines below.
Tile Roofing
Kiln-fired clay or pressure-formed concrete tiles in Spanish barrel, Mediterranean S-curve, and flat slate profiles. 50+ year lifespan, naturally fireproof, with an air gap that creates a thermal break.
Slate Roofing
Quarried natural slate in graduated courses — a 75–150 year roof. Inherently fireproof, freeze-thaw stable, and unmatched for historic and luxury homes. Heavy load — engineering review required.
Synthetic Roofing
F-Wave and composite polymer shingles molded to mimic designer slate or cedar shake. Class 4 impact, Class A fire, 130 MPH wind rating with no granule loss, no cracking, no moisture absorption.
Flat / TPO Roofing
Heat-welded thermoplastic polyolefin membrane for low-slope sections, patio covers, and commercial decks. Reflective white surface, fully seam-welded watertight bond, 20–30 year UV and ponding-water rating.
