Metal roofs take a beating here from the cold winters and warm summers. Freeze and thaw cycles make panels expand and contract. We use 24 gauge standing seam steel with hidden fasteners so seams stay tight. Cheap crews skip the right underlayment and water gets under in the humid months. That leads to rot in attics over Lawrenceville and Bloomfield homes.
Allegheny County wants permits for any roof work over 100 squares. We pull those so you stay legal. Common failure points show up on older homes in Mount Washington where ice dams push water back under edges. We add extra flashing and ice shield in those spots. One mistake we see is crews using thin 29 gauge that dents easy from tree branches in Point Breeze.
Phipps Conservatory area homes often need commercial grade metal for the steeper pitches. We seam it on site with a portable roll former to cut waste. Summer heat can make poorly vented attics cook the insulation under metal. We check ventilation first and add ridge vents when needed. That keeps the roof from buckling in the warm months.
