Upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is one of the best long-term value upgrades you can make to a Solon home — better appearance, longer life, stronger wind ratings. Atlas Roofing installs architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ standard) on roofs throughout Solon.
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.
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.
