Upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is one of the best long-term value upgrades you can make to a Willoughby home — better appearance, longer life, stronger wind ratings. Atlas Roofing installs architectural shingles (GAF Timberline HDZ standard) on roofs throughout Willoughby.
Material selection in Willoughby is informed by the local architecture — primarily Greek Revival, Gothic, Italianate. The right shingle profile and color makes a real difference on these homes.
Willoughby's historic core has 69 buildings on the National Register — the Greek, Gothic, Italianate, and Classical Revival architecture there requires careful flashing and material-matching work where we don't default to standard architectural shingles.
Surrounding residential areas range from older homes near downtown to mid-century housing on the city's edges — tear-off complexity varies accordingly.
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.
