Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, an aging roof, or simply want to upgrade to a more energy-efficient system, we provide expert guidance from the initial consultation through final inspection.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
The Most Popular Choice for Pennsylvania Homeowners
Asphalt shingles have protected American homes for over a century, and modern shingle technology has made them more durable, attractive, and energy-efficient than ever. Paul Construction partners with industry-leading manufacturers GAF and CertainTeed to deliver roofing systems that perform in Pennsylvania’s demanding four-season climate.
Your Asphalt Shingle Options
3-Tab (Traditional)
The classic, economical choice. 3-tab shingles offer reliable protection and a clean, uniform appearance at an accessible price point. Ideal for homeowners seeking solid performance without premium costs.
Architectural (Dimensional)
The most popular choice today. Architectural shingles feature a layered, dimensional design that creates depth and visual interest. They’re thicker than 3-tab shingles, offering enhanced durability and longer warranties — typically 30 to 50 years.
Designer (Premium)
For homeowners who want the look of slate, cedar shake, or tile without the weight and expense, premium shingles deliver stunning aesthetics with superior performance. These high-end options make a dramatic statement while providing maximum protection.
Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
• Proven Reliability – Tested and trusted in millions of homes across the country
• Weather Resistance – Engineered to handle rain, snow, wind, and temperature extremes
• Wide Selection – Hundreds of colors, styles, and profiles to match any home
• Cost-Effective – Excellent protection at various price points to fit your budget
• Straightforward Installation – Faster install times mean less disruption for your family
• Easy Repairs – Individual shingles can be replaced if damaged
• Strong Warranties – Top manufacturers offer warranties of 25 to 50 years
Signs You May Need a New Roof
Even quality roofing materials have a lifespan. Here’s how to know when it’s time to consider replacement:
• Age – Most asphalt roofs last 20-30 years; if yours is approaching that age, it’s time for an inspection
• Missing or Damaged Shingles – Wind, hail, and age can dislodge or crack shingles
• Curling or Buckling – Shingles that curl at the edges or buckle in the middle have lost their weatherproofing
• Granule Loss – Check your gutters; excessive granules mean your shingles are wearing out
• Leaks or Water Stains – Water infiltration is a serious warning sign
• Sagging Areas – Structural issues require immediate attention
• Rising Energy Bills – Poor roof insulation and ventilation can increase heating and cooling costs
If you’re noticing any of these issues, schedule a free inspection. We’ll give you an honest assessment and clear recommendations.
Metal Roofing
The Premium Choice for Long-Term Performance
Metal roofing has evolved far beyond industrial buildings. Today’s metal roofing systems combine exceptional durability with sophisticated aesthetics, making them increasingly popular among discerning homeowners throughout the Philadelphia region.
Metal roofing is an investment that pays dividends over time. While the initial cost is higher than that of asphalt, the lifespan is 2-3 times longer, maintenance costs are minimal, and energy savings add up year after year. For homeowners planning to stay in their home long-term, metal roofing often delivers the best lifetime value. If you’re searching for a roof that protects your investment and still looks great from the street, consider a metal roof upgrade.
Your Metal Roofing Options
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
The gold standard in metal roofing. Concealed fasteners and raised seams create a sleek, modern look while eliminating exposed penetrations that can leak over time. Standing seam is ideal for contemporary homes and homeowners who prioritize maximum longevity. It’s a great fit if you want a clean, upscale finish and a roof system designed for long-term performance. If your priority is longevity, reliability, and a premium look that won’t go out of style, standing seam is usually the first place to start.
Copper Roofing
The premium option for homeowners who want a roof with real character. From a practical standpoint, copper roofing is known for its extremely long service life when it’s properly designed and installed. The properties of copper allow it to form a protective layer that helps it resist corrosion as it ages. If you love the idea of a roof that’s both beautiful and built for the long haul, copper is a standout choice.
Benefits of Metal Roofing
• Exceptional Lifespan – Quality metal roofs can last 50 to 70 years with minimal maintenance
• Superior Durability – Resists cracking, warping, shrinking, and corrosion while standing up against fire and high winds
• Energy Efficiency – Reflects solar heat, potentially reducing cooling costs by 10-25%
• Low Maintenance – No painting, sealing, or frequent repairs required
• Snow Shedding – Smooth surface allows snow to slide off, reducing structural load
