Premium Atlas Roofing Systems, Installed the Hawkland Way

I spent 14 years running a roofing supply house. I've seen every shingle on the market come through the warehouse — the good, the cheap, and the ones that come back with warranty claims. When I started Hawkland Exteriors, I got to choose what goes on my customers' roofs. I chose Atlas.

Here's how our lineup works, in plain terms: Pinnacle Pristine is our everyday shingle — the one most Cedar Rapids homes get, and it's a workhorse. Pinnacle Impact is the step up when hail is your worry — Class 4 rated, the highest impact rating a shingle can carry. And StormMaster Shake is for homeowners who want the thick, designer-shake look with storm-grade toughness underneath. Every one of them comes with protection most roofers don't talk about. That's what this page is for.

Why Scotchgard? Because Black Streaks Aren't Dirt

Those dark streaks on Iowa roofs aren't grime that washes off — they're algae, and they feed on the shingle itself. Atlas shingles come with Scotchgard™ Protector, which stops the streaking before it starts, for good. It's the difference between a roof that looks new for a few years and one that looks new for decades. Details straight from Atlas below.

We Install Every Roof with a Signature Select Warranty

A shingle warranty only covers the shingle. The Signature Select® warranty covers the whole roof system — materials and workmanship — because we install the complete Atlas system the way Atlas engineered it. Most contractors won't commit to that. We won't install a roof without it.

Pinnacle Pristine — Our Everyday Shingle

If we're putting a new roof on your home and you haven't asked for anything special, this is what you're getting — and that's a compliment to the shingle. Big, architectural profile. Scotchgard built in. Strong wind performance. It's the shingle I'd recommend to my own neighbors, and it's on more Hawkland roofs than anything else we install.

Pinnacle Impact — Class 4, Built for Iowa Hail

Class 4 is the highest impact rating a shingle can earn, and in a state that gets hammered by hail, it earns its keep twice: once on the roof, and once on your insurance bill — many Iowa insurers offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant roofs. Ask your agent, then ask us. Full details on the discount angle on our Storm & Hail Damage page.

StormMaster Shake — The Designer Look, Storm-Grade Underneath

Some homeowners want more than a standard architectural profile — they want the deep, dimensional look of wood shake without wood's problems. StormMaster® Shake delivers that look with rubberized SBS technology built for impact and cold-weather flexibility. It's our third line for a reason: not every home needs it, but on the right house, nothing else looks like it.

Wind Warranties, Explained Honestly

Every shingle brand advertises a wind rating. What matters is what the warranty actually covers, and what your installer had to do to qualify it. We install to spec — that's not extra, that's the job. Here's how Atlas wind coverage works, and below it, see how these shingles handle wind in testing.
