When considering the safety of your home and family, your roof should be at the top of your list. Choosing the right shingles can mean the difference between costly repairs and years of worry-free protection. At Naperville Roofing and Construction, we trust Atlas Roofing shingles and materials for homeowners throughout Naperville and the surrounding suburbs because they deliver industry-leading performance, outstanding curb appeal, and unbeatable peace of mind.
Below, we'll explore the top reasons why Atlas shingles are a wise choice — and why more homeowners are asking for them by name.
1. Designed to Withstand Harsh Illinois Weather
Living in Illinois means dealing with blazing summer sun, sudden downpours, lake-effect snow, and powerful windstorms — sometimes all in the same year. Atlas shingles are built to handle it all.
Many Atlas shingle lines, such as the Pinnacle Pristine, are designed and tested to resist winds of up to 130–150 mph when installed with Atlas's High-Wind Warranty. That means fewer loose shingles, fewer emergency repairs, and more savings for you over the life of your roof.
2. Algae Resistance Means a Cleaner, Healthier Roof
Nothing ages a roof faster than the dark black streaks caused by algae growth. Atlas shingles stand out because they feature Scotchgard™ Protector by 3M — a robust defense against blue-green algae.
Homeowners love how Scotchgard keeps their roofs looking newer for longer, with rich color that enhances your home's curb appeal and resale value. Better yet, it means less frequent cleaning and maintenance, saving you time and money year after year.
Fun Fact: Atlas was one of the first manufacturers to partner with 3M to integrate Scotchgard into asphalt shingles!
3. Impact Resistance That Protects Against Hail and Debris
Severe weather is becoming increasingly common in Illinois, and hailstorms can cause significant damage to ordinary shingles. Many Atlas shingles carry a Class 4 Impact Resistance rating, which is the highest rating available for asphalt shingles. This means they're tested to withstand the impact of 2-inch steel balls dropped from 20 feet, simulating hail and falling debris.
A roof with impact-resistant shingles often qualifies for discounts with many homeowners' insurance companies. Always check with your provider to see if Atlas's Class 4 shingles could save you money on your premium.
4. Wide Range of Styles and Colors to Match Any Home
Your roof is one of the most visible features of your house. Atlas understands that homeowners want protection and beauty. With Atlas, you don't have to compromise — you can choose from dozens of colors and architectural styles to complement any exterior design, from historic homes to modern builds.
Popular lines like Pinnacle Pristine, StormMaster Shake, and StormMaster Slate enable you to achieve the upscale look of wood shakes or slate with the affordability and durability of asphalt shingles.
5. Industry-Leading Warranties for Peace of Mind
When you invest in an Atlas roof, you're backed by some of the strongest warranties in the industry. Depending on the product line and system you choose, you can enjoy:
- Lifetime limited warranties on shingles
- Up to 15 years of algae resistance coverage
- Wind warranties up to 150 mph
- Optional extended system warranties when installed by an Atlas Certified Contractor (like us!)
Your roof is a significant investment — Atlas ensures it stays protected.
6. Eco-Friendly Roofing Materials
Atlas takes sustainability seriously. Many Atlas shingles are manufactured with materials that are partially recyclable and designed to last for decades, reducing landfill waste over time. Plus, energy-efficient color options can help reflect heat away from your roof, lowering cooling costs during hot Illinois summers.
