TAMKO HailGuard™:
the first shingle backed by a hail warranty.
Built with ImpactCore™ technology and tested beyond traditional Class 4 impact standards. Installed by Jax Roofing across the Colorado Front Range — and we're one of the first contractors in the region putting it on roofs.
What makes HailGuard different
Every other asphalt shingle on the market — including premium Class 4 brands — leaves hail damage between the homeowner and their insurance carrier. HailGuard is the first to put the manufacturer in the loop.
ImpactCore™ technology
TAMKO's proprietary core construction is engineered specifically for hail performance — not just rebadged Class 4 chemistry.
Tested beyond Class 4
Performance is measured against impact standards beyond traditional UL 2218 Class 4† — built for real Colorado storms, not just the test lab.
A real written hail warranty
The industry's first and only asphalt shingle backed by a hail warranty‡. Homeowners may avoid paying a deductible after a covered hailstorm.
Why this matters on the Front Range
Colorado averages 3–4 damaging hail events per year, and severe storms drop 1.5"+ hail somewhere along the Front Range almost every summer. The June 1, 2026 Tri-Lakes / Black Forest storm and the June 8, 2026 Pinery / Parker storm together produced tens of thousands of damaged roofs — and every one of those homeowners paid a deductible.
HailGuard changes that math. The manufacturer takes on hail performance contractually instead of leaving it as a fight between you, your adjuster, and the next storm.

Because HailGuard meets and exceeds UL 2218 Class 4 impact standards, it qualifies for the same Class 4 wind/hail premium discounts most Colorado carriers offer — typically 5–30% off the wind/hail portion of your premium. That's on top of the HailGuard hail warranty itself.
How our insurance claim process worksWe're a HailGuard installer
Jax Roofing has installed HailGuard on Front Range homes since the product launched. Our crews are TAMKO-trained, in-house (not subbed out to storm chasers), and we handle the manufacturer warranty registration as part of the install so coverage is in force the day we hand over your roof.

Frequently asked
Is HailGuard really hail-proof?
No shingle is literally hail-proof — any roof can be damaged by a large enough hailstone. What makes HailGuard different is that TAMKO is the first manufacturer willing to put an actual written hail warranty behind their shingle. The product is tested beyond traditional Class 4 impact standards using TAMKO's ImpactCore™ technology, and the warranty contractually backs the performance — something no other asphalt shingle on the market does today.
How does the HailGuard hail warranty work?
HailGuard ships with a manufacturer-issued hail warranty covering qualifying hail damage to the shingles. Coverage details — duration, deductible reimbursement amounts, qualifying conditions — are specified in TAMKO's written warranty document, which we provide before you sign anything. ‡ See actual warranty for complete details, terms, limitations and exclusions.
Does HailGuard cover my insurance deductible?
Per TAMKO's marketing, homeowners may avoid paying a deductible after a covered hailstorm under the HailGuard warranty terms. Exact reimbursement is governed by the written warranty document and may vary by claim. We walk you through the warranty registration at install so coverage is in force.
Is HailGuard a Class 4 shingle?
HailGuard is built and tested beyond traditional UL 2218 Class 4 impact standards using TAMKO's ImpactCore™ technology. From an insurance-discount standpoint, HailGuard qualifies for the same Class 4 wind/hail premium discounts that most Colorado carriers offer (5–30% off the wind/hail portion).
What colors does HailGuard come in?
HailGuard is available in TAMKO's most popular architectural color families — natural greys, weathered woods, blacks, and earth tones — designed to match what HOAs along the Front Range already approve. We bring physical samples to every estimate.
How much does HailGuard cost vs standard shingles?
HailGuard typically runs $2,000–$4,000 more than a standard architectural shingle on a Front Range home, depending on roof size and pitch. Most homeowners offset that with a Class 4 insurance premium discount over the life of the roof — and the hail warranty itself protects future out-of-pocket deductibles.
‡ See actual warranty for complete details, terms, limitations and exclusions. Warranty coverage and premium discounts vary by carrier, policy, and jurisdiction.
