Roof Repair
Specializing in slate, tile, and asphalt roof repairs, we address leaks and storm damage with precision. Our team uses aged materials for seamless replacements, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic consistency. With 45+ years of experience, we diagnose complex issues and provide lasting solutions for residential properties.
Roof Replacement
We install premium slate, tile, copper, and asphalt roofs tailored to Pittsburgh's climate. Our GAF-certified asphalt systems combine durability with curb appeal, while custom metal roofs offer longevity. Each project includes detailed consultations to match material choices with architectural style and budget requirements.
Gutter Installation
Our seamless gutter solutions feature heavy-gauge copper and aluminum options with 75-year warranties. Custom-fabricated on-site, we install half-round and box gutters that complement historic and modern homes. The service includes proper pitch calculations and downspout placement for optimal water management.
Custom Metal Fabrication
In-house metal fabrication enables creation of ornamental details, flashing, and roofing components. We work with copper, stainless steel, and ternecoat to restore historic elements or create modern accents. This service supports complex architectural projects requiring non-standard metal solutions.
Skylight Installation
We install VELUX skylights with no-leak guarantees and energy-efficient glass options. Our team ensures proper flashing integration with existing roofing materials, preventing water infiltration.
