Designer shingles deliver the look of slate or wood shake at a fraction of the cost and weight. Atlas Roofing installs GAF's designer line (Camelot, Grand Sequoia, Glenwood) on premium Shaker Heights homes where appearance matters as much as performance.
Material selection in Shaker Heights is informed by the local architecture — primarily English Tudor, Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Shaker's strict architectural review (the 'Shaker Standard') requires careful materials selection — designer shingles in slate-look profiles or actual slate replacement are common requests, not standard architectural shingles.
Original slate, tile, and wood-shake roofs are still common and require specialty roofing knowledge — most general contractors aren't equipped for proper slate or tile work.
Typically 30-60% more than standard architectural shingles. They look distinctly more premium and often last longer.
Designer shingles work especially well on Tudor, Craftsman, Colonial, and other traditional architectures common in Shaker Heights. Modern minimal homes typically suit standard architectural shingles fine.
GAF Camelot II (slate-look), Grand Sequoia (shake-look), and Glenwood (luxury slate-look) are our most-installed designer lines.
