Roofing Products
Cedar Shake
Cedar is one of the most beautiful and durable natural building materials in the roofing industry. It is available in a wide variety of sizes and grades. Cedar shingles and shakes are naturally more resistant to insects and decay than other woods and that is one of the reasons to use it as a roofing product. As a renewable resource it is also one of the most environmentally friendly products today.
Architectural Shingles
Architectural Shingles are one of the most common shingle materials. Made of a composite asphalt material, they’re durable and can withstand high winds. One of the perks of architectural shingles is that they can look like slate or cedar shake without the cost or upkeep. They’re energy-efficient due to reflective granules that reduce the roof’s temperature, and they have a long lifespan.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofs are more than just a covering for your home – a flat roof can be used as an outdoor living space, becoming a deck or patio. Volpe Enterprises, Inc. specializes in Residential, Commercial and Industrial Rubber Roofing, EPDM, Flat Roofing in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

What are Roof Shingles Made Of?
Shingles are made from materials like wood, slate, flagstone, metal, and plastic and composite materials like fiber cement and asphalt shingles.
Asphalt is Common
However, asphalt is the most common material for a shingle roof. This is because asphalt shingles are durable and keep their water proofing in heavy rains. Asphalt shingles are also a versatile material for building new roofs. This is because they come in a variety of colors, are cost effective, and can be formatted to fit an old roof or new shingle roof.
Architectural Shingles
If you’re looking for a replacement roofing material, Volpe Enterprises currently offers the most advanced asphalt shingle on the market. Called architectural shingles, these shingles are incredibly durable and have a unique design that creates a beautiful roof.

How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
Many homeowners want to know how much it costs to replace a roof. However, the answer to this question isn’t as simple as you might think. When calculating the cost of a new roof, many factors must be considered.
Decide On The Material
First, you must decide on the type of roofing material that will be installed. Keep in mind that some roofing materials are much more expensive than others. For example, metal roofing systems, which are the most durable option for a new roof, are more expensive than wood shake or asphalt shingle roofs.
Consider The Size of Your Roof
Second, consider the size of your house, the square footage of your roof, and the age of both. An old roof that needs a full replacement with new shingles will cost more than a roof that is in good condition and only requires minor repairs.
Repair or Replacement?
Third, before installing a new roof, you should determine how many layers are on your current roof and whether it requires repairs. Unless you have prior experience, this should be done by a roofing contractor. They will be able to fully assess the damage and determine whether you need a roof repair or full roof replacement.
Installation Fees
Finally, you must consider the labor cost associated with your new installation, as well as any permits that your city or county may require. These will vary depending on where you live and the contractor that you choose.

How Long Do Roofs Last?
The lifespan of a roof depends on the roofing materials used, the maintenance it’s given, and how well it was installed. So, it’s best to assign a range of years that your roof will last rather than a firm amount of time. But, for those who are curious, here’s a list of what you can expect:
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are one of the most commonly used roofing materials in the United States. They are inexpensive and durable, lasting between 15 and 30 years. This lifespan, however, can vary depending on the weather conditions in your area. For example, if you live in Southern California, the dry heat and dramatic temperature changes will cause the shingles to crack.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are extremely durable. With a lifespan between 40 and 70 years, a metal roof kept in good shape will last you a lifetime. However, because metal is a premium roofing material, it will cost you a pretty penny. Metal roofing is most common in hurricane prone areas because it can withstand winds over 100 mph.
Wood Shakes and Shingles
Wood shakes and shingles usually last for about 30 years. However, if you invest in quality materials, live in the right area, and give them proper maintenance, Wood shakes and shingles can last up to 50 years. The best and most durable wood for roofing is Cedar. This is because Cedar is rot, insect, and weather resistant.
Slate Roofing
Slate roofs are more durable than other roofing materials. They can last anywhere between 75 and 200 years and will not suffer from common problems like rot and mold growth. This is because slate retains almost no moisture. However, slate is extremely heavy. Before you install a slate roof, you should have your roofing system inspected to ensure that it can withstand the weight.

How Long Does It Take To Install A Roof?
The time it takes to install a roof can vary depending on several factors, including the size and complexity of the roof, the type of materials being used, and the experience and efficiency of the roofing contractor. Generally, a standard residential roof installation can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the size of the home.
Here are some factors that can affect how long it takes to install a roof:
- Roof size: The larger the roof, the more time it will take to install. A small residential roof will obviously take less time compared to a large commercial roof.
- Roof complexity: Roofs with intricate designs, multiple slopes, valleys, and dormers may require additional time for installation compared to simple, straightforward roof structures.
- Weather conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or high winds can delay the installation process and may require the contractor to reschedule the work.
- Material type: Different roofing materials have different installation requirements. For example, installing asphalt shingles is generally faster compared to installing metal or tile roofs, which may require more precision and additional time.
- Crew size and experience: The number of workers assigned to the project and their experience level can impact the installation time. A larger crew of skilled professionals may be able to complete the installation faster compared to a smaller team.
