Paul Snellen
Founder, Owner
Paul Snellen never expected to become a roofer when he was young, but once he stepped into the industry in 1988, he discovered a craft that demanded precision, patience, and pride. By 1990, he had incorporated Paul Wright Roofing with a simple mission: build a company that values accuracy, longevity, and true skill above shortcuts or speed.
Over 38 years in the trade, Paul and his team have become known for the company’s mastery of slate roofing and detailed copper work — specialties that reward craftsmanship and stand the test of time. Slate takes longer, requires more care, and leaves no room for guesswork, which is exactly why Paul loves it. The more intricate the project, the greater the satisfaction when it’s done right.
As the company grew, Paul expanded into siding and gutters because he understood that a home’s exterior works as a unified protection system. When one component fails, the others suffer. By offering all three, his team delivers coordinated workmanship and long‑lasting results.
Today, Paul Wright Roofing is a family-owned and operated business, supported by family members and long-time team leaders who have helped build its reputation throughout the Lehigh Valley. Its success has not come from chasing ratings, but from decades of word-of-mouth referrals from homeowners who value honesty, quality, and work done right the first time. Paul takes pride in knowing that when customers choose his company, they’re choosing a team that will be here for years to come, standing behind their work and serving the community they call home.
