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 Cleveland homes where appearance matters as much as performance.
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.
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 Cleveland. 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.
