Impact Resistant Roof Replacement in Bells from $500. UL 2218 Class 4 at $500 to $800 a square -- and an honest answer about whether it is worth it for you. Free inspection and a written quote.
On a small simple roof the Class 4 premium is a small absolute number, because 15 to 25% of a modest job is modest. That makes Bells the cheapest place on this list to buy the better product, and it is worth doing the arithmetic rather than assuming the upgrade is out of reach.
Class 4 is the top impact rating under UL 2218. The test is a two-inch steel ball dropped twice on the same spot without cracking the mat, and a product that passes it is built to take hail that would bruise a standard shingle. In North Texas it installs at $500 to $750 per square against $350 to $500 for three-tab.



Class 4 is the top impact rating under UL 2218: a two-inch steel ball dropped twice on the same spot without cracking the mat. In North Texas it installs at $500 to $750 per square against $350 to $500 for three-tab -- a premium of 15 to 25% over standard architectural, or roughly $1,500 to $3,000 on a typical 2,000 square foot home. The most honest pricing on this list. Small simple roofs with clear access mean the number really is a function of area, product and deck -- so a quote well above that deserves a direct question about what is in it.
A heavier, tougher mat that resists the bruising hail causes, generally rated for 25 to 35 years. On a hail-exposed roof that is a genuine difference in service life rather than a marketing one.
Over twenty years in Grayson County the arithmetic favors Class 4 comfortably. Over five it does not. We will ask how long you intend to own the house and answer accordingly, including when the answer is no.
'Impact resistant' is a phrase; UL 2218 Class 4 is a rating. The scope should name the product and its class, along with the ridge, hip and starter products, because a Class 4 field with standard accessories is not a Class 4 roof.
Small simple roofs with easy access, which makes this the most predictable pricing on the list: a quote here should genuinely track measured area rather than detail count. That also makes it the easiest place to compare two quotes honestly -- if they differ by thousands, one of them contains something the other does not.
Worth knowing before you start ringing round, because the queue after a storm line is measured in weeks rather than days.
Roofs in Grayson County do not generally reach the end of their lives quietly. A hail line comes through, and several thousand roofs across the county are damaged in the same twenty minutes -- so every roofer within fifty miles takes those calls in the same week, and out-of-town crews arrive to work the storm. That is when the door-knocking starts and when the queue is longest.
The most predictable pricing on this list: small simple roofs with easy access, where a quote should genuinely track measured area.
Small roofs are quick to assess properly, which means there is no excuse for a verdict given from the driveway.
Simple gables with easy access make this the most honest shingle pricing on the site.
Small simple roofs are where metal is cheapest to fit well, because there is almost no hand-formed detail.
Small flat sections on small houses, which means the job is almost entirely edge detail: the ratio of perimeter to field is the worst on this list.
The one place here with a City registration rule.
Older stock: board decking, valleys, dormers.
Splits by age. The newer roofs have seen hail already.
Almost all new build. What did the builder fit?
Metal country, and the two systems are not the same.
Lake exposure, and houses nobody is in to notice.
Acreage. The barn is usually the worse roof.
What is worth knowing before you book this.
No. 'Impact resistant' is a phrase anybody can print; UL 2218 Class 4 is a tested rating. Ask for the product name and its class in writing -- and check the ridge, hip and starter products too, because a Class 4 field with standard accessories is not a Class 4 roof.
No, and anybody who says otherwise is overselling it. It resists bruising from the hail sizes that routinely damage a standard shingle, and large enough hail will mark anything. What it buys is a longer service life on a roof that gets hit regularly.
One to three days on site for a typical house, three to seven for metal, and one to two for a small simple roof. Weather moves all of it and we will not dry-in a roof we cannot finish. After a storm line the queue is the longer part rather than the work.
No. The inspection is free, the written quote is free, and neither carries an obligation -- including when the answer is that your roof is fine and does not need anything. What we will not do is give you a price from the driveway, in either direction.
Texas prices asphalt by the square -- a hundred square feet. Three-tab installs at $350 to $500 per square and Class 4 impact-resistant at $500 to $800, with North Texas typically $500 to $750 for Class 4. A 2,000 square foot roof is twenty squares. The Sherman permit is $75.
City of Sherman registration stated -- Texas issues no license. Standard and Class 4 priced side by side, not one of them.
