Class 4 Shingles in Colorado Springs Impact-Resistant Roofing
Class 4 shingles in Colorado Springs give local homeowners an impact-resistant asphalt-shingle option to consider when replacing a roof after hail or planning for future storms. Oliva Construction helps homeowners compare UL 2218 Class 4 shingle products, colors, flashing and full roofing-system components. Impact resistance is laboratory-tested; no shingle is guaranteed to withstand every hailstorm.
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.
Class 4 Shingles vs. Standard Architectural Shingles
The biggest difference is impact-resistance performance under the applicable test—not a completely different style of roof.

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.
