For homeowners in coastal and storm-prone areas, the arrival of hurricane season†† is a yearly reminder of nature’s raw power. With high winds, flying debris, and torrential rain, your roof becomes the first and most critical line of defense. If you’re searching for the high-performing shingles for hurricane season, Titan XT® shingles deliver award-winning durability, storm-tested performance, and proven peace of mind.*

Contractors along the coast have reinforced the strength of the Titan XT® shingles performance, especially when compared to neighboring homes roofed with competitor shingles.
