If your Highland 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 Highland Heights, and we strongly recommend upgrading to architectural shingles when you do.
Material selection in Highland Heights is informed by the local architecture — primarily 1960s-70s colonials, ranches, newer 1990s-2000s colonials. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Highland Heights' housing skews newer than the inner-ring suburbs to the west — most homes along Wilson Mills, Highland, and Bishop are 1960s-2000s, so tear-offs typically only have one or two layers and decking is generally in good shape.
The 1990s-2000s colonials with steep-pitched roofs and front-facing gables need careful kickout flashing at the wall-roof intersections, which is the most common point of failure we see.
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 Highland Heights single-family homes are completed in a single day, from tear-off through cleanup.
