Designer shingles deliver the look of slate or wood shake at a fraction of the cost and weight. Atlas Roofing installs GAF's designer line (Camelot, Grand Sequoia, Glenwood) on premium Bedford homes where appearance matters as much as performance.
Material selection in Bedford is informed by the local architecture — primarily century homes (early 1900s), 1920s-40s colonials and bungalows, 1950s-70s ranches and capes. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Bedford's historic district along Broadway has true century homes — original wood-shake roofs that were re-roofed multiple times mean tear-offs frequently expose damaged sheathing and original framing that needs evaluation.
The newer 1950s-70s housing on the edges has standard mid-century concerns but is generally simpler work.
Typically 30-60% more than standard architectural shingles. They look distinctly more premium and often last longer.
Designer shingles work especially well on Tudor, Craftsman, Colonial, and other traditional architectures common in Bedford. Modern minimal homes typically suit standard architectural shingles fine.
GAF Camelot II (slate-look), Grand Sequoia (shake-look), and Glenwood (luxury slate-look) are our most-installed designer lines.
