Upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is one of the best long-term value upgrades you can make to a Parma Heights home — better appearance, longer life, stronger wind ratings. Atlas Roofing installs architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ standard) on roofs throughout Parma Heights.
Material selection in Parma Heights is informed by the local architecture — primarily postwar Capes, ranches, 1950s-60s colonials. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Parma Heights' housing is overwhelmingly postwar — over 85% of homes in the southwest neighborhood were built between 1945 and 1964 — so tear-offs frequently involve multiple layers.
The Cape Cod and ranch dormer flashing patterns that define this housing era are where we focus the most detail.
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.
