Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Shingles: A Florida Roofer's Guide

Atlas Pinnacle Pristine is an architectural shingle with 3M Scotchgard algae protection, a 42 inch wide shingle, a Class 3 impact rating, and a 130 mph wind warranty with the standard install, or up to 160 mph with the full Atlas Signature Select system. On a single-family home, the algae coverage lasts as long as the original owner does. It is the shingle we put on most of our roofs.

If someone told you Pinnacle Pristine is a 150 mph shingle, that is the lab test. The warranty number is 130 mph, or up to 160 mph with the full Atlas system. Our guide to the best shingles for Florida explains how to read wind ratings on any brand.

The algae warranty

The black streak coverage is the real difference

Florida humidity grows the algae that leaves black streaks on shingle roofs. Pinnacle Pristine uses 3M Scotchgard Protector granules to resist it, and on a single-family home Atlas covers that for the lifetime of the original owner. Owens Corning and GAF cover algae on their comparable shingles for 25 years.

Read the conditions. The coverage needs Atlas Scotchgard hip and ridge shingles, and the Scotchgard shingles have to cover the whole shingled roof. During the first years Atlas pays to clean, repair or replace the streaked shingles. After that it pays to clean them.

On the coast

Atlas recommends vinyl or copper gutters instead of aluminum where salt fog is common, when you use algae-resistant shingles. If you live near the water and have aluminum gutters, ask about it before the job starts.

The warranty

What "lifetime" means on an Atlas shingle

  1. Lifetime is your lifetime, not the roof's

    On a single-family home, the shingle warranty lasts for the lifetime of the original owner. Homes owned by an LLC, a trust or a condo association get 50 years instead.

  2. Full coverage comes first

    Atlas calls the first years the Premium Protection Period. It covers labor and materials with no proration: 10 years on the standard warranty, 15 years with Signature Select. After that, coverage is prorated.

  3. It transfers once

    If you sell, the warranty can be transferred one time: within the first 15 years on the standard warranty, or the first 10 with Signature Select. The new owner pays Atlas a $100 fee within 60 days of the sale.

  4. Signature Select needs the full system

    To get the upgrades, the roof needs Atlas hip and ridge shingles, Atlas underlayment over the whole deck and at least one more Atlas accessory, and it has to be registered within 60 days. Atlas's warranty does not require a certified installer. Ask whether your quote includes the full system.

  5. Storms are not covered

    Atlas excludes hurricanes, tornadoes, hail and wind above the warranted speed. Storm damage is a homeowners insurance question, not a shingle warranty one.
