GAF Timberline HDZ is the most-installed shingle in North America — and the standard architectural shingle Atlas Roofing installs on University Heights homes. Strong color selection, proven 30-year wind warranty, and GAF System Plus warranty coverage when installed by a Certified contractor.
Material selection in University Heights is informed by the local architecture — primarily 1920s tudor and colonial revivals, 1940s-50s capes and bungalows, some larger center-hall colonials near Fairmount. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
University Heights' housing stock is concentrated in 1920s-1950s, so most homes are now on their third or fourth roof — the original tongue-and-groove decking we find on tear-offs along Cedar Road and Warrensville Center is often warped at the eaves and needs partial sheathing replacement.
Steeper-pitched 1920s tudors near John Carroll have complex valley intersections that need careful step-flashing detail at every dormer transition.
It's the best-selling architectural shingle in North America. Strong color options, reliable performance, excellent warranty coverage. We've installed thousands of these across University Heights and Northeast Ohio.
As a 2026 GAF Certified™ contractor installing the GAF complete system (shingles, underlayment, ridge vents, starter, hip-and-ridge), we offer the GAF System Plus Limited Warranty.
Over 20 colors. Most-popular in University Heights: Charcoal, Pewter Gray, Weathered Wood, Hickory, Williamsburg Slate.
