If your Cleveland Heights home still has 3-tab shingles, you're due for a roof. 3-tab shingles last 15-20 years on average — significantly less than the 25-30 year life of modern architectural shingles. Atlas Roofing replaces 3-tab roofs throughout Cleveland Heights, and we strongly recommend upgrading to architectural shingles when you do.
Material selection in Cleveland Heights is informed by the local architecture — primarily brick Colonial, Tudor, Cape Cod. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Most original 1920s-era roofs were replaced once in the 1990s-2000s and are now reaching their second 25-30 year cycle — Cleveland Heights is one of the higher-volume residential roofing markets in Cuyahoga County.
Many brick facades with complex chimneys require careful flashing attention; chimney leaks are a common service call in older Cleveland Heights homes.
Better appearance, longer life (25-30 years vs 15-20), stronger wind ratings, better warranty coverage. The cost difference is usually 15-25% but the lifecycle cost is lower.
If you really want flat 3-tab shingles, we can install them. But we'd recommend reconsidering — architectural shingles look better and outlast them by years.
Most Cleveland Heights single-family homes are completed in a single day, from tear-off through cleanup.
