Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in Highland Heights for good reason: cost-effective, available in dozens of colors and styles, and (with quality installation) deliver 25-30 years of service. Atlas Roofing installs GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles as our standard upgrade — the most-installed shingle in North America.
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.
Architectural asphalt shingles typically last 25-30 years in Northeast Ohio's climate, depending on installation quality, ventilation, and exposure. 3-tab shingles last 15-20 years.
Architectural (also called dimensional) shingles are thicker, last longer, look better, and are the standard choice today. 3-tab shingles are the older flat single-layer style — cheaper but shorter-lived.
