Upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is one of the best long-term value upgrades you can make to a South Euclid home — better appearance, longer life, stronger wind ratings. Atlas Roofing installs architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ standard) on roofs throughout South Euclid.
Material selection in South Euclid is informed by the local architecture — primarily 1920s colonial revivals, 1940s-50s capes and bungalows, some 1960s ranches near Mayfield. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
South Euclid's 1920s-1950s housing stock means we routinely deal with three or four shingle layers during tear-offs, and the older homes along Cedar and Warrensville Center frequently have original cedar shake underneath that has to come off down to the deck.
Cape Cods with front dormers are the city's signature housing type, and the dormer sidewall flashing is consistently where we find old roof leaks.
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.
