Class 4 shingle still pays for itself on the fringe because carriers price by county, not by how often your particular street gets hit. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off.
What it costs in Forest Park: 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.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
