Why HailGuard Is Different

Class 4 Is the Floor. HailGuard Goes Further.

Most impact-resistant shingles stop at Class 4 UL 2218 certification. TAMKO HailGuard is tested beyond that standard — and backs it up with an industry-first Hail Warranty covering up to 20 years of hail damage. If hail damages your HailGuard roof, TAMKO covers it. That's not a marketing claim. It's in the warranty.

ImpactCore Technology

Built to Absorb. Engineered to Last.

HailGuard's proprietary ImpactCore technology uses a reinforced polymer matrix woven into the shingle's core — not just the surface. When hail strikes, the energy is absorbed and dispersed across the entire shingle rather than concentrating at the impact point. The result is a shingle that survives impacts that crack or fracture standard Class 4 products.

Industry's First Asphalt Shingle Hail Warranty

No other asphalt shingle manufacturer offers a warranty that specifically covers hail damage to the shingle itself. TAMKO does — and only certified installers like SMART Roof Plus can unlock it.

Insurance Savings

Your Insurance Company May Pay You to Upgrade

Many Missouri homeowners insurance carriers offer premium discounts of 20–30% for Class 4 impact-resistant roofing. HailGuard qualifies — and in some cases the annual savings can offset a significant portion of the upgrade cost over time. We'll help you document the installation for your carrier.

Common Questions

HailGuard FAQ

What makes HailGuard different from other Class 4 shingles?+
Most Class 4 shingles meet the minimum UL 2218 standard and stop there. HailGuard is tested beyond that threshold and — uniquely — backs it up with an actual Hail Warranty. No other asphalt shingle manufacturer offers a warranty specifically covering hail damage to the shingle itself.
How does the Hail Warranty work?+
TAMKO's Hail Warranty covers functional damage to HailGuard shingles caused by hail for up to 20 years from installation, depending on the warranty tier. If hail damages the shingles, TAMKO covers the material cost. Installation must be performed by a certified contractor — which we are.
Will my insurance company give me a discount?+
Many Missouri carriers — including State Farm, Farmers, and others — offer 20–30% premium discounts for Class 4 roofing. HailGuard qualifies. We provide a certificate of installation that you submit to your carrier. Discounts vary by policy, so we recommend calling your agent to confirm before the project.
Does HailGuard cost more than standard shingles?+
Yes — typically 15–25% more than standard architectural shingles. However, when you factor in potential insurance savings, the reduced likelihood of hail claims, and the 20-year Hail Warranty, many homeowners find the upgrade pays for itself within a few years.
Is SMART Roof Plus certified to install HailGuard?+
Yes. We are TAMKO Platinum Pro certified — the highest certification tier TAMKO offers. This certification is required to unlock HailGuard's full warranty coverage, including the Hail Warranty. Not every contractor can offer this.
