Pittsburgh storms hit hard in summer with straight-line winds that peel back shingles on older asphalt roofs. In neighborhoods like Lawrenceville and Bloomfield, many homes still have 20-year shingles that crack under repeated freeze-thaw cycles from our humid continental climate. We check for lifted tabs and torn underlayment first, then match the existing material so the patch blends. Cheap crews often skip ice-and-water shield along the eaves, which leads to leaks the next winter when snow melts and refreezes.
Allegheny County requires a permit for any roof work over 100 square feet. We pull the permit the same day we tarp so the job stays legal. Common failure points show up around chimneys and skylights where flashing was never stepped properly on the original install. After a storm we cut out damaged decking, sister new plywood, and install new step flashing before laying fresh shingles. This stops water from running under the roof deck during the next warm summer rain.
Fallen trees from high winds often punch through roofs in Point Breeze and Regent Square. We start with a full walk on the attic side to mark every puncture, then cover the hole with plywood and synthetic underlayment the same afternoon. Homeowners in Shadyside call us because we show up with 24/7 emergency service and leave the roof watertight until full repair can happen. We never leave felt paper exposed more than a day because UV breaks it down fast in our warm summers.
Ice dams form fast after heavy snow because warm air leaks from the house melt snow that refreezes at the eaves. We cut ventilation channels and add extra insulation where needed so the dam does not come back next cold snap. Every repair includes a written scope that lists the exact squares replaced and the brand of shingles used so there is no surprise on the final bill.
