Whether you like slates, shingles, crowns, or canopies, you can find them all right here in Philadelphia.
Around this time of year, the only rooftops people seem concerned about are attached to restaurant patios – and if you thought this was going to be an article about those, I’m sorry to say that you’ve been mistaken.
Although grabbing a bite to eat with a scenic view is quite the vibe, the rooftop of your home is definitely more important, and with summer weather in full swing, now is the best time to make sure your rooftop is in top-tier condition.
With that said, what are signs that you have a strong roof?
According to Roof Commander, a strong rooftop is durable, resistant to windy weather, and diverts water away from the home. But more than that, it provides a sense of security to homeowners that they are protected against the elements.
On the flip side, a roof in need of care may have several missing or loose shingles, have shingles that are curling, cracking, dry, lead to leaks or be blistering and sagging.
It can be difficult to identify whether or not your roof needs a repair, which is why it’s best to have it inspected on a regular basis. In fact, if you think your rooftop needs some TLC, you’ve come to the right place for some guidance.
Here in Philadelphia, there are plenty of credible roofing companies to assist you, all specializing in different areas of concern, anything from tiny repairs to full on replacements. However, there is one rooftop company that stands out amongst the rest, and they are Rooftop Warriors.
As their name suggests, Rooftop Warriors are ready to take on any challenge, big or small, and will do everything they can to protect you and your family. Founded by Shawn Nichol Junior, the original rooftop warrior, his company was built on the principles of honesty, integrity, and plain old getting the job done. Rooftop Warriors acts as your home’s first line of defense.
“We’re tough, we’re on the rooftop, we’re rooftop warriors,” he said in an interview with Tree Guardian USA at the Storm Conference and Trade Show Expo in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

During the interview, Nichol Jr. shares that he’s been passionate about the industry ever since he was a teen. He started working at the age of 16 as a general contractor, and didn’t stop until he was 25.
In 2019, he founded Rooftop Warriors and has since made a profound impact on communities across the city. From being available at any time of the day to providing a hot meal to a person in need, Nichol Jr. is driven by a desire to make people’s lives easier.
What many people don’t know is that at a certain point in his life, Nichol Jr. experienced homelessness. It was a very tough period, but with the support from people who cared, he was able to get back on his feet and hasn’t looked back ever since. The experience shaped his entrepreneurial journey in such a way that motivates him to go the extra mile for his customers.
“There aren’t enough roofers where I’m from that are willing to help you, but I want to pay it forward,” he said in the interview. Today, Nichol Jr. helps people feel comfortable and at ease at home, simply because he understands what it feels to not have that sense of security.

Like any great warrior, Shawn Nichol Jr. is committed, disciplined, and confident. He’s been doing roofs for years, and is an expert at what he does. But best of all, he is a leader who is passionate about making a difference where it matters.
As reported in CEO Weekly, not only does Nichol Jr. normalize going out of your way to help others, he is passionate about giving back to his community, putting smiles on people’s faces and assisting them in any way that he can.
