Upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is one of the best long-term value upgrades you can make to a Highland Heights home — better appearance, longer life, stronger wind ratings. Atlas Roofing installs architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ standard) on roofs throughout Highland Heights.
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.
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.
