Upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is one of the best long-term value upgrades you can make to a Garfield Heights home — better appearance, longer life, stronger wind ratings. Atlas Roofing installs architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ standard) on roofs throughout Garfield Heights.
Material selection in Garfield Heights is informed by the local architecture — primarily postwar Cape Cods and bungalows, 1920s-30s colonials and tudors near Turney, postwar ranches. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Garfield Heights' housing along Granger and Turney spans 1920s-1960s, so tear-offs vary substantially — the older homes near Turney often have multiple shingle layers over original cedar shake, while the postwar Capes off Granger and Broadway are typically simpler one-or-two-layer tear-offs.
The 1920s-30s tudors near Turney have steep complex roof geometries with deep eaves and multiple dormers where flashing detail matters most.
Typically 15-25% more for materials. Lifecycle cost is usually lower because they last 5-10 years longer.
We don't recommend it. Layovers (installing new shingles over old) shorten the new roof's life, void most warranties, and trap heat. Tear-off is the right approach.
GAF Timberline HDZ as our standard. Designer upgrades available.
