We handle roof repair in South Side 15203. Crews from our spot at 2270 Roswell Dr roll out quick when calls come in for leaks or missing shingles. Most jobs here sit on narrow streets off Carson, so we park the truck smart and carry gear up tight alleys between the old row homes.
South Side homes date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, mostly brick rowhouses with steep pitches. Cold Allegheny winters pile snow on those roofs and warm summers bring heavy rain that finds old flashing fast. We check for ice dams along the eaves and fix drainage spots where lots sit close together.
When a storm hits, we start at the top and work down to the gutters. Replacement comes in when the decking shows rot from years of freeze and thaw cycles. We keep the same crew on the job so the patch or full swap matches the house next door.

Roof Repair in South Side — Local Notes
- •Narrow lots off 18th and 22nd mean we stage materials on the street and use smaller lifts to reach the roof.
- •Many 1890s brick rows have slate or old asphalt layers that need full tear-off before new shingles go down.
- •South Side sits low along the river so wind-driven rain pushes water under loose flashing on the back sides of homes.
- •Winter snow load builds heavier on the steeper pitches common here, so we add extra ice-and-water shield along the eaves.
