Roofing Materials We Offer
Find the Right Roof for Your Home or Business
Choosing a roofing material isn’t just about what looks good—it’s about long-term protection, performance in our NEPA climate, and what fits your budget and building type. At Vadella Roofing, we’ve worked with nearly every roofing material out there and understand how each one performs through the seasons, storms, and decades.
Whether you’re re-roofing a cozy family home or upgrading a flat-roof commercial property, we help you weigh your options clearly and honestly. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of the materials we work with most often. Each has its pros, trade-offs, and ideal uses, which we’ll explain without the fluff.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
The reliable classic. Affordable, versatile, and built for NEPA homes.
Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing material across the country—and for good reason. They offer solid protection at a price point most homeowners can manage, and they come in a range of colors and styles to match just about any home.
At Vadella Roofing, we use only high-quality shingles from trusted manufacturers, making sure your roof not only looks good but stands up to the seasonal shifts we get here in Pennsylvania. They’re easy to repair, replace, or upgrade down the line, which makes them a favorite for residential projects.
This is the go-to choice for many homeowners in our area. It’s durable enough to get the job done right, with a low maintenance requirement and a clean, finished appearance.
Metal Roofing
Modern, durable, and energy-efficient—great for long-term performance.
Metal roofing has come a long way. Once reserved mostly for barns or industrial buildings, it’s now one of the smartest investments for homeowners and businesses alike. It’s highly durable, reflects sunlight to reduce heat absorption, and holds up well in heavy storms and snow loads.
We install standing seam, corrugated, and stone-coated metal roofs depending on the look and performance you’re after. It’s more expensive than asphalt up front, but the payoff comes in long-term savings on repairs and energy efficiency.
For homeowners looking to “do it once and do it right,” metal roofing is an excellent path to consider.
Slate Roofing
Timeless appeal with unmatched longevity. Premium choice for historic or high-end homes.
Slate roofing offers a level of elegance and permanence that few materials can match. Made from natural stone, it gives homes a distinctive, upscale look—and it’s built to last well over 100 years when properly installed.
We’ve installed slate on both new builds and historic homes across NEPA. It’s heavy, requires a reinforced roof structure, and comes with a higher price tag, but if you’re investing in a forever home, this material makes a serious statement.
You’ll also enjoy unmatched durability against fire, mold, and pests—not to mention stunning curb appeal.
Rubber / Flat Roofing (EPDM, TPO, and More)
Engineered for flat roofs—commercial, industrial, or modern residential builds.
If your roof is flat or low-sloped, rubber-based roofing systems like EPDM and TPO are your best bet. These materials are designed to form a seamless, watertight barrier that holds up against pooling water, UV rays, and foot traffic.
Vadella Roofing has decades of experience installing rubber roofs on everything from commercial warehouses to residential additions. We’ll help you choose the membrane that best suits your structure’s layout, budget, and long-term goals.
With proper installation, these systems last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance, and we stand behind our work every step of the way.
Specialty Materials
Custom options for unique homes, rustic cabins, or eco-forward projects.
Not every roof fits into the standard categories. That’s why we also install a range of specialty materials, tailored to unique architectural styles or performance needs.
Some of the specialty roofing we offer includes:
-
Cedar Shake Roofing – Natural wood shingles that give homes a warm, rustic character.
-
Clay or Concrete Tile – Often seen in Mediterranean-style homes, they offer exceptional durability and insulation.
-
Green & Living Roofs – Sustainable and eco-conscious roofing for those who want nature on top of their home.
-
Custom Blends & Designer Materials – For when aesthetics, performance, and individuality all matter.
If you have a unique vision or a very specific need, we’ll help source the right materials and make sure the install is done right the first time.
