A Fresh Start in Hammond, LA: Roof Replacement Featuring Atlas Pinnacle Pristine in Morning Harvest

When it came time to choose materials, we presented the Hammond homeowner with a few shingle options based on performance, durability, and aesthetic preferences. The clear standout was Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles for their roof replacement, specifically in the Morning Harvest color.

Here’s why:

1. Beautiful, Dimensional Color Blends

The Morning Harvest color blend features warm, earthy tones of brown, gold, and subtle hints of gray that perfectly complement Southern Louisiana homes with brick, stucco, or wood exteriors. It creates an inviting, upscale look that instantly boosts curb appeal.

2. Scotchgard™ Protector by 3M

One of the most common complaints we hear from homeowners is black streaks on their roof caused by algae. Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles are manufactured with Scotchgard™ Protector, which uses copper-infused granules to resist algae growth. This ensures the roof keeps its vibrant Morning Harvest color for years without ugly discoloration.

3. Wind Resistance Up to 130 MPH

In a region known for severe weather and the occasional hurricane, shingle durability is critical. Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles are built with HP42® Technology, offering a 6-inch exposure and reinforced nailing zone for better wind uplift resistance. These shingles are rated to withstand wind speeds up to 130 mph when installed as part of the full Atlas Signature Select® Roofing System.

Installing the Atlas Signature Select® Roofing System

A roof’s long-term performance isn’t just about shingles—it’s about the system working together. That’s why we recommended and installed the Atlas Signature Select® Roofing System, a complete roofing solution made up of integrated components designed for peak performance.

Here’s what we used:

1. Atlas WeatherMaster® Ice & Water Underlayment

Laid in critical leak-prone areas like valleys and eaves, this high-performance underlayment provides self-sealing protection against wind-driven rain, ice dams, and water intrusion.

2. Atlas Premium Underlayment

Across the main deck, we installed a synthetic underlayment engineered for superior tear strength and moisture resistance. It adds another layer of defense between the decking and shingles.

3. Atlas Pro-Cut® Starter Shingles

Installed along the eaves and rakes, starter shingles are crucial for edge-sealing and wind resistance. They ensure the shingles lay flat and maintain integrity against high winds.

4. Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine Shingles

The star of the show. These laminated architectural shingles in Morning Harvest bring style, strength, and long-term weather protection.

5. Atlas Pro-Cut® Hip & Ridge Shingles

We finished the roof’s ridges with these matching cap shingles, which enhance ventilation while tying the entire roof together with a uniform aesthetic.

Why the Atlas Signature Select® Warranty Stands Out

Installing the full Atlas Signature Select® Roofing System allowed this homeowner to qualify for Atlas’s best warranty protection—and that’s something we always aim for when replacing a roof.

Here’s what makes it so valuable:

• Lifetime Limited Warranty on shingles

• 20-year Premium Protection Period (covering labor and materials)

• 130 mph wind resistance warranty

• Algae resistance warranty thanks to Scotchgard™ Protector

• Non-prorated coverage during the Premium Protection period

• Transferable warranty, which adds resale value

  
  

This kind of peace of mind is priceless for homeowners in Hammond, LA, who are no strangers to heavy rain, hailstorms, and high humidity. With this system, our client’s new roof is protected from the most common causes of roofing damage—guaranteed.

Installation Process: From Tear-Off to Completion

The entire process—from materials delivery to final cleanup—took just two days, thanks to our experienced crew and streamlined scheduling.

Day 1: Tear-Off and Deck Inspection

Our team arrived early and protected all landscaping with tarps. The old roofing materials were removed carefully to avoid damage to the decking. We conducted a full deck inspection to identify any rot or weak spots, and replaced a few sections of plywood to ensure a solid foundation.

Day 2: Full System Installation

We began installing the underlayment and worked through each component of the Signature Select system. As always, our crew paid special attention to flashing details, roof penetrations, valleys, and ventilation. We finished the day with a thorough cleanup and magnetic sweep for nails.

Before & After: The Transformation

The visual impact of this project was immediate.

Before:

• Streaked, faded shingles

• Sagging ridgelines

• Patchy repairs and visible water damage

• Outdated appearance

After:

• Rich, multi-dimensional Morning Harvest tones

• Clean, uniform ridges and edges

• Sleek architectural shingle profile

• Boosted curb appeal and overall home value

  
  

Our client couldn’t believe how much the new roof elevated the look of their entire home. Better yet, they now have the confidence of a modern roofing system that’s built to perform for decades.
