I get the logic behind paying extra for impact-resistant shingles and a pro crew, but I’m not totally convinced it’s always worth the premium. Here’s why:
That’s true, but I’ve seen friends spend big on “top” materials and still end up replacing roofs after one bad storm. For my first house (central Iowa), I went with mid-range architectural shingles, but spent a lot of time researching installers—checked references, watched installs, even asked about their flashing technique. No regrets so far. Sometimes, focusing on the installer and solid underlayment gives you more bang for your buck than just picking the priciest shingle.Even the best shingle can’t fix a bad install.
That’s a good point—installer skill really can make or break it. I’ve heard some folks argue that impact-resistant shingles only matter if your insurance gives you a discount, otherwise the cost doesn’t pencil out. Did you look into how underlayment choice affects storm resistance?
