Types of Roofs We Offer
Keep your pockets lined by making sure all your roofing needs are taken care of. We are roofing experts, and offer residential roofing services, tailored to withstand Philadelphia's weather conditions. Our services include roof repair, installation, replacement, maintenance, and inspection, all designed to keep your home protected and looking great. At APS, we provide a variety of roofing options to suit different needs and preferences:
-
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a popular choice due to their durability and affordability. Available in a range of styles and colors, they can complement any home design. Asphalt shingles are specifically designed to withstand Philadelphia’s hot summers and cold winters. They are easy to install and maintain, making them a reliable and cost-effective option for homeowners. With proper care, asphalt shingles can last up to 20-30 years. -
Clay Tiles/Concrete Tiles
Spanish-style clay and concrete tiles are prized for their unique look and exceptional durability. These heavy tiles can handle any weather condition, making them perfect for Philadelphia’s diverse climate. However, their weight requires a strong roof structure. These tiles add significant value to your home and can last a lifetime with proper maintenance, combining beauty and durability.
-
Low Slope/Flat Roofs
Flat roofs are common in modern and commercial buildings, offering a sleek and functional design. They require specialized maintenance to prevent water pooling, especially during Philadelphia’s rainy seasons. Our team guarantees proper installation and drainage solutions to extend the life of your flat roof, providing a reliable option for various applications. -
Slate Roofing
Slate roofing offers a timeless, elegant appearance with its natural stone tiles. Known for extreme durability and fire resistance, slate roofs significantly increase a home’s value. Although they are more expensive, their longevity and minimal maintenance needs make them a worthwhile investment. -
Cedar Shake
Cedar shake shingles provide a rustic, natural look that enhances a home’s charm. They offer excellent insulation properties, making them energy-efficient. Cedar shakes are eco-friendly and, with proper care, can last many years. APS specializes in installing and maintaining cedar shake roofs to guarantee they withstand Philadelphia’s weather while maintaining their beauty.
Impact of Philadelphia Weather on Each Roof Type
Philadelphia’s weather, with its hot, humid summers and freezing winters, can affect different roof types in various ways:
-
Asphalt Shingles
-
Summer: High temperatures can cause shingles to crack and lose granules, leading to reduced lifespan. Frequent storms can lead to shingle dis-lodgement.
-
Winter: Freezing temperatures and ice can cause brittleness and potential shingle breakage. Heavy snowfall can create ice dams.
-
-
Clay Tiles/Concrete Tiles
- Summer: Their heavy nature helps withstand extreme heat without damage. UV exposure has minimal impact.
- Winter: Resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, but the roof structure must support the weight. Ice formation is generally not a concern due to material density.
-
Low Slope/Flat Roofs
- Summer: Heat can lead to expansion and potential membrane damage if not properly ventilated. Effective insulation is critical.
- Winter: Prone to water pooling and ice formation, requiring efficient drainage systems to prevent leaks and structural damage.
-
Slate Roofing
- Summer: Slate remains unaffected by heat, maintaining its integrity and appearance. It reflects sunlight, keeping interiors cooler.
- Winter: Extremely durable against ice and snow, but heavy snow loads can stress the structure. Proper support and insulation are essential.
-
Cedar Shake
- Summer: High temperatures can dry out the wood, increasing the risk of cracking and splitting. Regular treatment is recommended.
- Winter: Moisture from snow and ice can lead to rot if not properly treated and maintained. Inspections for moss and mildew are necessary.

How a Solid Roof Increases Home Value
A solid, well-maintained roof significantly increases your home's value. In Philadelphia, where weather conditions can be harsh, a sturdy roof is not just an aesthetic feature but a key asset. Homes with newer roofs often sell for more, and potential buyers view a reliable roof as a sign of overall property health.
Increase in Value:
- According to a HomeAdvisor report, a new roof increases home resale value by a national average of nearly $12,000.
- In Philadelphia, this can translate to a 60-70% return on investment. According to the Cost vs. Value 2022 report, homeowners can recover approximately 59.6% of the cost of a new roof when they sell their home.
Energy Efficiency:
- Modern roofing materials improve insulation, reducing energy bills by up to 15-25%.
- A well-insulated roof is particularly valuable in Philadelphia’s varied climate, keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Aesthetic Appeal:
- A new roof improves the overall look of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers.
- This improved appearance can lead to quicker sales at higher prices.
Peace of Mind:
