Choosing the right material is only half the battle; the quality of the installation determines whether those shingles actually perform when the wind picks up. At GPI Inc., we specialize in high-performance roofing solutions designed to withstand the unique weather challenges we face in Illinois.

Maximize Your Savings: The Insurance Discount
One of the most compelling reasons to choose a Class 4 roof is the significant long-term financial benefit. Because these shingles are engineered to prevent “bruising” and structural failure during a storm, insurance companies view your home as a much lower risk.
- Premium Reductions: Many major insurance providers offer significant discounts on homeowners’ insurance premiums for installing UL 2218 Class 4 rated shingles. In some cases, homeowners see discounts ranging from 5% to 30% annually.
- Avoiding Deductibles: By installing a hail-resistant system, you reduce the likelihood of needing a full roof replacement after a storm. This saves you from the out-of-pocket cost of your deductible—which, for many modern policies, can be a substantial percentage of the home’s value.
- Future-Proofing: As weather patterns become more volatile, some insurers are moving toward requiring impact-resistant materials for new coverage. Upgrading now with GPI Inc. ensures your home remains easy to insure and cheaper to protect.
