For homeowners seeking stronger protection against severe weather, Balcones Roofing offers installation of IR (Impact-Resistant) composite shingles, a durable roofing option designed to better withstand hail and debris. Serving homeowners throughout Austin and nearby areas, these advanced shingles are engineered with reinforced materials that help absorb impacts and reduce the risk of cracking or leaks. Many IR shingles achieve a UL 2218 Class 4 rating, the highest impact-resistance classification, after passing tests where steel balls are dropped onto the shingles to simulate hail damage.
