Class 4 = Impact Tested A laboratory rating for impact resistance—not a promise of zero storm damage.
Understanding the Rating

How Do Class 4 Shingles Resist Hail Impacts?

Class 4 is the highest impact-resistance classification under UL 2218. In the controlled laboratory test, a 2-inch steel ball is dropped from a height of 20 feet onto the test roof assembly. Passing this test is not a promise that actual hail will cause no damage.

Impact TestedRated under UL 2218 laboratory testing.
Highest ClassClass 4 is the top UL 2218 impact classification.
Architectural LookRetains the dimensional asphalt-shingle appearance.
System MattersUnderlayment, flashing, starter, ridge and ventilation still matter.
Important: A Class 4 rating is not a guarantee that a roof cannot be damaged by hail. Real storms vary in hail size, density, wind speed, angle and impact conditions.

Class 4 Roofing FAQs

Questions Colorado Homeowners Ask Before Upgrading

Are Class 4 shingles hail-proof?

No. A Class 4 rating means the exact tested product passed the highest impact classification under UL 2218. It does not guarantee that every real-world hailstorm will cause no damage.

Can Class 4 shingles lower my homeowners-insurance premium?

Some insurers may offer discounts for qualifying impact-resistant roofs, but they are not guaranteed. Ask your agent about product requirements, documentation and whether any cosmetic-damage waiver would affect future hail coverage.

Does a Class 4 shingle warranty cover hail damage?

Not automatically. Class 4 refers to laboratory impact testing, not insurance coverage or a hail-damage warranty. Review the selected manufacturer’s written warranty and your homeowners policy. Oliva Construction’s workmanship coverage is a separate contract term.

Do Class 4 shingles look different from normal architectural shingles?

Many Class 4 products maintain a dimensional architectural-shingle appearance. Colors and profiles depend on the exact manufacturer and product line selected.

Is Class 4 always better than metal roofing?

Not necessarily. Class 4 asphalt and metal roofing are different roof-system choices with different appearance, cost and installation considerations. The best fit depends on the home and project goals.

Where do you install Class 4 shingles in Colorado?

Oliva Construction provides Class 4 roofing estimates and installations across Colorado Springs and selected Front Range communities, including Monument, Black Forest, Fountain, Parker, Castle Rock and Centennial. Project availability depends on location and scope.
