If your Cleveland 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, and we strongly recommend upgrading to architectural shingles when you do.
Material selection in Cleveland is informed by the local architecture — primarily century homes (Victorian, Colonial Revival), Cleveland double, American Foursquare. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Cleveland's century-old housing stock has been re-roofed multiple times — careful tear-off down to deck (sometimes through 2-3 layers) is needed to deliver a proper long-term roof.
Cleveland double-deck homes (the iconic two-family configuration) have unique roof geometries with complex flashings around dormers and stairwell additions that require experienced installers.
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 single-family homes are completed in a single day, from tear-off through cleanup.
