Storm and Impact Resistant Roofing

Published , By Flanker Media

As the summer approaches, most significant storms are yet to come – whether we’re ready or not. Storms are not only dangerous but they also pose risk for home destruction which can require costly repairs. Though we don’t welcome storms with open arms- we want to help our customers feel prepared at the moment. There is no better time than now to make sure your roofing can handle whatever nature throws its way.

Does the Material of Your Roof Really Matter?

The materials that you use to cover and protect your roof are important. Not only do they supply your roof with its appearance/curb appeal, but they deeply affect your roof’s overall performance as well. This is why you need to take your choice of roofing material seriously.

Olson Windows, Doors, Siding, and Roofing offers many different types of roofing materials and has installed them on a wide range of houses throughout the Chicago suburbs. Provided to us by high-quality manufacturers, all of our roofing materials are equipped to get the job done on your roof.

Impact-Resistant Shingles

At Olson Windows, Doors, Siding, and Roofing, our impact resistant shingles are significantly stronger than other material options. They appear very similar to both our three tab and designer shingles, these are just thicker and heavier- making them sustainable in wind, hail, and rain storms.

We work with industry-leading manufacturers, such as CertainTeed, to ensure our impact-resistant shingle roofing is of the utmost quality. When installed correctly, they are reinforced with synthetic polymers which acts as another line of defense for your home during a storm. Not only does our impact-resistant shingle roofing work prove to be dependable but they also look great, increasing your curb appeal! As we see it, these are a smart choice for any homeowner.

CertainTeed Impact Resistant Shingles

Consisting of both asphalt and fiberglass, these impact resistant shingles will hold up against extreme weather conditions for years to come. They are built to not only withstand heavy rainfall and snow build up but can take the impact of falling branches as well. Designed to thrive in all climates while keeping maintenance to a minimum!
