This was a full roof replacement on a Waco home - stripped down and built back up with IKO Nordic Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. If you're not familiar with Class 4, it's the highest impact rating available for residential roofing. That matters a lot in central Texas, where hail storms can show up fast and do serious damage.
The IKO Nordic shingle is built specifically to take a hit. It's heavier, denser, and engineered to resist cracking under impact - which means it holds up where standard shingles fail. Beyond the durability, a Class 4 rating can also qualify you for a discount on your homeowner's insurance premium. So it's not just a tougher roof - it can actually save you money year after year.
We ran a full crew on this one. The install process on a job like this involves careful sequencing - stripping the old material, inspecting the decking underneath, and then laying the new shingles in tight, clean courses from the eave up. The hip-and-ridge layout on this home has a lot of angles to work with, and getting clean lines at every valley and ridge takes time done right.
The finished product is a charcoal gray dimensional shingle that looks sharp and sits flat across every plane of the roof. It's the kind of upgrade that gives a homeowner real peace of mind - not just curb appeal, but actual protection built into every square foot.
