When it comes to roof shingles, an architectural style is a popular choice. Moreover, it’s not too hard to see why. These shingles have a beveled appearance that conveys style and sophistication. The team at GPro sources our materials exclusively from the industry’s best shingles manufacturer. That manufacturer is Atlas Roofing. Of course, you have other options too. Slate and three-tab shingles, for example, bring their own set of benefits. But in this post, I’ve compiled our top 3 choices for Atlas architectural roofing shingles.
Atlas Architectural Roofing Shingles
We’ll go by price, starting with the very best option for beauty on a budget…
ProLam™ — The Value Pick From Atlas Architectural Roofing Shingles
The ProLam™ offers a lot to homeowners while remaining relatively affordable. For example, it is the only “value” model of Atlas roof shingles we use that comes standard with a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer. This is the same powerful warranty that comes with the highest-end Atlas Roofing shingles such as the StormMaster series. Moreover, at 130 mph wind resistance, the ProLam is also built to withstand wind speeds more than twice as high as its three-tab equivalent. In other words, these are great architectural shingles for the value.

- Algae-Resistant Materials
ProLam™ Color Options
Black Shadow, Burnt Sienna, Desert Shake, Hearthstone Gray, Heather, Pewter, Weathered Wood.
Pinnacle Pristine® — The Designer Pick From Atlas Architectural Roofing Shingles
These fiberglass shingles provide the strength and warranty protection of the ProLam™. But they also have a little bit better algae protection. Sporting a Scotchgard Protector, these shingles combat the nasty black streaks that can damage a home’s value over time. In addition to that, these shingles qualify as a Holmes Approved Product. Roofing contractors in Columbus, Ohio or wherever else you go will tell you that a Holmes stamp of approval really means something in this industry. But one of the coolest things about the Pinnacle Pristine® model of Atlas architectural roofing shingles is the vast and varied choice of colors.
