Insurance Discounts ?
Did you know that your insurance carrier may have to give you a discount with your new roof?
The Texas Department of Insurance has mandated that some insurance carriers give discounts to homeowner who have certain "Impact Resistant" shingles installed on their home.
For a shingle to qualify, in must pass certain test as outline by Underwriters Laboratories in UL-2218. Shingles passing the test are given a class rating on one to four, with four being the best. Only a limited number of shingles have passed this test. The discount will also vary according to which "zone" you live in.
You must consult directly with you insurance carrier as not all insurance carriers are obligated to give these discounts. Also check to see if a "cosmetic" damage waiver is required.
