What is the Emerald System?
The Emerald System is the complete roof replacement we install on homes across Greater Rochester. It is built around Atlas StormMaster Shake shingles and installed by our own crews to one standard. In Upstate New York, it is only available from Tall Pines Roofing.
Atlas StormMaster Shake shingles
StormMaster Shake is the shingle at the center of the system. It is built for the wind, hail, heavy rain, and snow we get here. Built-in Scotchgard protection keeps the roof free of algae streaks for 30 years.
The 30-year Emerald warranty
- 30 years of coverage on labor and manufacturer defects
- Transferable, so it can pass to the next owner if you sell
- Backed by Atlas, since we are an Atlas PRO+ Diamond Select contractor
- Annual inspections are available on request
The warranty does not cover damage caused by ice dams. It is issued once your invoice is paid in full, and it starts when you sign the completion certificate.
