Atlas Shingles: Why Gerken Roofing Trusts This Brand

When it comes to protecting your home, the quality of your roofing materials matters just as much as the craftsmanship behind the installation. At Gerken Roofing, we’re committed to using only the best—and that’s why we trust Atlas Shingles for our roofing projects throughout Pittsburgh.

Whether you're replacing a damaged roof or building a new home, here's why Atlas Shingles consistently rise to the top of our list.

1. Scotchgard™ Protection Against Algae Stains

One of the standout features of Atlas shingles is their Scotchgard™ Protector, which helps prevent ugly black streaks caused by algae. Unlike many shingles that start to discolor over time, Atlas shingles are engineered to stay clean and retain their original color—keeping your roof looking newer, longer.

This is especially important in humid climates, where algae growth is common. With Scotchgard™ protection, you don’t just get durability—you get lasting beauty.

2. High-Wind Resistance

Atlas offers shingles rated to resist winds up to 150 mph, making them a smart choice for Pittsburgh’s unpredictable weather. Whether you’re dealing with strong storms, heavy snowfall, or high winds off the Allegheny River, Atlas shingles are built to stay secure and protect your home.

3. Durable and Impact-Resistant Options

Gerken Roofing often recommends Atlas StormMaster® shingles, which feature Class 4 impact resistance—the highest rating available. These shingles are made with SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) modified asphalt, which gives them rubber-like flexibility to better withstand hail and heavy impacts.

4. Impressive Style and Curb Appeal

Atlas shingles aren’t just tough—they’re stylish. With a wide range of colors and styles, including architectural and designer profiles, homeowners can find a look that complements any home exterior. Their bold shadow lines and dimensional appearance enhance curb appeal and boost property value.

5. Strong Warranty Coverage

Atlas offers some of the industry’s strongest warranties, including limited lifetime coverage and enhanced protection when installed by an Atlas Pro+ contractor like Gerken Roofing. This gives homeowners added peace of mind that their investment is protected for decades.

6. Made in the USA

Atlas Roofing products are manufactured in the United States with strict quality control and sustainability standards. Choosing Atlas means supporting American-made materials while ensuring consistent quality across every shingle.
