When it comes to your roof, you get what you pay for, not all materials are created the same. If you want a shingle roof, the best shingle to withstand a hurricane should have a wind rating of ASTM D3161, Class F, or ASTM D7158, Class H or ASTM D3462. However, metal roofing is more resistant in general to wind damage and object impacts, depending on the gauge of metal.
High wind rated architectural shingles as well as metal and tile roofing offer numerous benefits that make them ideal choices for withstanding harsh weather conditions.
Your first line of defense in a great roof is having a solid decking foundation under your shingles or metal. We will strip your old roof system off to ensure your decking is solid.If any damage is found, it will be replaced before moving forward.
Some hurricanes produce extensive rainfall that can range between 6 & 12 inches. For the best protection, use a high quality waterproof underlayment under your shingle and metal systems. Rk roofing offers a synthetic underlayment or a rubberized underlayment.
