Do You Offer Wind-Resistant Shingles?

Yes—And They’re Built for Georgia Storms

If your home has ever taken a beating from one of Georgia’s windstorms, you know how fast shingles can peel, lift, or go missing.

That’s why many homeowners ask us:
“Do you offer shingle options for high-wind areas?”

At L&L Roofing & Construction, the answer is yes—we install multiple lines of shingles specifically designed to handle high winds, especially in areas like Gainesville, Buford, and Flowery Branch where storms are a regular concern.

FAQ: Do you offer shingle options for high-wind areas?


💨 Why Standard Shingles Aren’t Always Enough

Basic 3-tab shingles often carry wind warranties up to 60 mph, but Georgia storms can bring gusts far stronger than that. If your roof isn't designed for it, wind can:

  • Lift and curl shingles

  • Break the seal strip that holds shingles down

  • Lead to water intrusion and costly repairs


✅ Our High-Wind Shingle Solutions

We install architectural and designer shingles rated for wind speeds up to 130+ mph, including options from trusted brands like:

  • Owens Corning

  • Malarkey Roofing Products

  • Atlas Roofing

  • GAF Timberline series

Key features:

  • Double or reinforced sealant strips

  • Nail zone technology for stronger fastening

  • Impact-rated options for hail and debris

  • Extended wind warranties (when installed with full system components)

We also follow manufacturer-recommended installation practices, which is critical—even the best shingles can fail if not nailed and sealed properly.

FAQs: High-Wind Shingle Roofing

Q: Do I have to upgrade my entire roof to get wind-resistant shingles?
A: Yes. Wind-rated shingles are only fully effective when installed as part of a complete roofing system.


Q: Are high-wind shingles more expensive?
A: Slightly—but the added protection and longer lifespan often make them more cost-effective over time.


Q: Can high-wind shingles lower my insurance premium?
A: In some cases, yes. Insurers may offer discounts for wind-rated roofing systems—especially if you live in a high-risk ZIP code.


Q: Can you inspect my current shingles to see if I need an upgrade?
A: Absolutely. We offer free inspections and will check for any signs of uplift, broken seals, or missing tabs.


Storm Protection Starts with the Right Shingle

If you’re in a wind-exposed area—or have dealt with blow-offs in the past—don’t wait for the next storm.
