What Are Impact-Resistant Shingles and Are They Right for Your Hudson Home?
Impact-resistant shingles are asphalt shingles made to stand up to hail impacts better than standard shingles, and they suit a Hudson home where hail has damaged the roof before or where you want a roof that takes hail better. They go on over the same ice barrier, underlayment and flashing as architectural shingles, and they are one of the asphalt shingle roofs we install.
Impact-resistant does not mean hail-proof. Large enough hail can still damage any roof, so we inspect an impact-resistant roof after a big storm just as we would any other.
Hail season
Peaks in June
Hail is most frequent in Wisconsin from May to July, and June is the peak month.
How Often Does Hail Hit Hudson Roofs?
Hail hits the Hudson area most summers, because Wisconsin typically sees 20 to 30 days a year with hail three-quarters of an inch or larger, and the state's western and southern areas are the most prone to thunderstorms. Damaging hail falls on about six days a year statewide, mostly in the warm half of the year.
The most recent hail near the city fell in June 2026, when quarter-size hail covered the ground south of Hudson. After a storm like that, our hail damage roof repair starts with checking how much of the roof was hit, so you can decide whether to repair it or reroof with impact-resistant shingles.

Impact-Resistant or Standard Shingles for Your Hudson Roof?
Impact-resistant shingles make the most sense on a Hudson roof that has already taken hail damage or one you plan to keep for decades, while standard architectural shingles are the lower-cost choice when hail is less of a worry. Both go on the same way and need the same ice barrier, underlayment and ventilation.
Standard Architectural Shingles
- Lower price per square foot
- Generally expected to last around 30 years
- Can be damaged in heavy hail
- A sound choice where hail has not been a problem
Impact-Resistant Shingles
- Built to take hail impacts better
- Up to about 20 percent more than regular asphalt nationally
- Same ice barrier, underlayment and flashing
- Still worth inspecting after a big storm
If you want more protection and a different look, synthetic composite shingles and metal roofing are the other options we can price for you.
What Do Impact-Resistant Shingles Cost in Hudson?

What Should Hudson Homeowners Know About Insurance and Impact-Resistant Shingles?
Wisconsin insurers must pay to repair or replace the part of a roof damaged by covered hail, minus your deductible, whatever shingle is on it. Ask your agent how your policy treats an impact-resistant roof, and ask how the insurer figures depreciation, because that affects what an older roof is paid out at.
If a storm sends you looking for a new roof, Wisconsin law bars any contractor from promising to pay or rebate your deductible, and gives you until the third business day after a written claim denial to cancel a roofing contract that insurance was meant to pay for. With your consent, our roof insurance claim help means we discuss the damage with your adjuster and submit our estimate.
Who Can Install Impact-Resistant Shingles in Hudson?
Wisconsin has no roofing-specific license, but a contractor who pulls a building permit for work on a one- or two-family home must hold the state's Dwelling Contractor certification and hold or employ a certified Dwelling Contractor Qualifier. Hudson Roofing Pros installs impact-resistant shingle roofs across the Hudson area, and when you book us or anyone else, ask for proof of that credential and of insurance.
As a GAF Certified Contractor, we can offer GAF's System Plus Limited Warranty, one of its enhanced warranties, on a qualifying GAF roofing system, alongside our own 10-Year Workmanship Warranty. Your written estimate states which warranties apply.
Impact-Resistant Shingle FAQs
Are Impact-Resistant Shingles Hail-Proof?
Impact-resistant shingles are not hail-proof; they are built to take hail better than standard shingles, and large enough hail can still damage them. We inspect them after a big storm like any other roof.
How Much More Do Impact-Resistant Shingles Cost?
Impact-resistant shingles cost up to about 20 percent more than regular asphalt shingles, as a national figure. We price both on your roof so you can see the difference in dollars.
Will Impact-Resistant Shingles Lower My Insurance?
Whether impact-resistant shingles change your premium depends on your insurer, so ask your agent before you choose. We can give you the shingle details in writing to take to them.
Can Impact-Resistant Shingles Go Over My Old Roof?
Impact-resistant shingles can go over one existing layer in Wisconsin only if the old roof is not water-soaked or deteriorated and is not wood shake, slate or tile. A roof that already has two layers must be torn off, and we usually recommend a tear-off so we can check the deck.
