If your Solon 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 Solon, and we strongly recommend upgrading to architectural shingles when you do.
Material selection in Solon is informed by the local architecture — primarily 1970s-80s colonials, 1990s-2000s custom builds, newer luxury contemporaries. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Solon's housing is mostly newer than the inner-ring eastern suburbs — 1970s through current, with substantial 1990s-2010s custom-build inventory in the south and west subdivisions.
The custom builds along Solon Boulevard and the developments off Cannon Road often have steep complex roof geometries with multiple dormers, valleys, and skylights, where we focus heavy detail on every flashing 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 Solon single-family homes are completed in a single day, from tear-off through cleanup.
