Upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is one of the best long-term value upgrades you can make to a Wickliffe home — better appearance, longer life, stronger wind ratings. Atlas Roofing installs architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ standard) on roofs throughout Wickliffe.
Material selection in Wickliffe is informed by the local architecture — primarily early 20th-century cottages, 1930s Capes, postwar ranches. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Wickliffe was incorporated in 1916, so the core residential stock predates most surrounding suburbs — multi-layer tear-offs with original cedar shake possible underneath are common patterns.
The historic Coulby Mansion area and the older streets near downtown have properties that need careful flashing and material-matching work.
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.
