If your Parma 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 Parma, and we strongly recommend upgrading to architectural shingles when you do.
Material selection in Parma is informed by the local architecture — primarily Cape Cod bungalows, brick ranches, 1.5-story homes with dormers. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Most Parma roofs are now in their second or third replacement cycle since the original 1950s-60s build, and the 1.5-story bungalows with front dormers have specific flashing challenges where the dormer sidewalls meet the main roof plane.
Split-level homes from the 70s, common throughout Parma Southeast, have multi-elevation rooflines that need careful ice-and-water shield work at every transition.
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 Parma single-family homes are completed in a single day, from tear-off through cleanup.
