Pittsburgh winters with their freeze-thaw cycles rot out wood fascia behind gutters on homes in Squirrel Hill and Shadyside. We pull the old boards, check for hidden rafter tail damage, and install primed pine or aluminum fascia that holds paint longer in humid summers. Cheap crews skip the drip edge and the rot starts again in two seasons.
Ice dams form fast on the steep roofs common in Mount Washington and Regent Square. Meltwater backs up under shingles and soaks the soffit vents. We cut out the damaged vented aluminum or vinyl panels, add new baffles, and seal the joints so warm attic air stops feeding the dam cycle.
Older homes in Bloomfield and Lawrenceville often have 1x6 wood soffits with no proper intake vents. When we replace them we add continuous vent strips rated at 9 square inches per foot so the attic breathes right and meets Allegheny County inspection rules on ventilation.
Many low-bid outfits in the Strip District use cheap staples that pull out after one bad wind storm. We use ring-shank nails every six inches into solid framing and leave the job so you can walk the ladder and check the work yourself.
