Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain.
On cost: the most affordable full-roof option; the step up to Class 4 impact-rated shingle is a modest premium that usually pays for itself in Texas through carrier discounts.

How it works
A shingle that passed the UL 2218 steel-ball impact test at the highest level. Many Texas insurers give a premium credit for it; some Florida carriers do too.
Manufacturers say 25–30 years. In Florida and Texas sun, 18–22 is more realistic for standard architectural shingle. Ventilation and installation quality make up most of the difference.
