Pittsburgh winters with their freeze-thaw cycles turn small cracks in asphalt shingles into big leaks fast. Ice dams build along the eaves on older homes in Oakland and Shadyside, pushing water under the underlayment. We cut out the damaged section, lay new ice-and-water shield rated for 40 degrees below, and match the existing shingle weight so the patch does not stand out.
Cheap crews often skip the step of checking the decking after a leak. In houses around Squirrel Hill and Bloomfield the plywood can be soft from years of moisture and needs replacement before new shingles go down. We pull the bad boards, sister in new 5/8 inch CDX where needed, and make sure the repair meets Allegheny County permit rules for roof work over 100 square feet.
Summer storms hit hard too. A single hail event or high wind can tear flashing around chimneys on Mount Washington homes. We carry pre-formed step flashing and counter flashing in copper and galvanized to match what is already on the roof, then seal every seam with high-temp caulk that holds up when temps swing 80 degrees in a day.
