Shaler Roofing
Roof replacement, tear-off, and repair in Shaler. Architectural shingles from Owens Corning, GAF, CertainTeed, IKO, and similar manufacturer lines. Same crew start to finish. Shaler has a lot of mid-century ranches, capes, and split-level homes where roof age, gutter drainage, soffit, and fascia issues often show up together.
What makes roofing different in Shaler.
Most Shaler roofs are mid-century -- 1950s-1970s ranches, capes, and split-levels around Glenshaw and the Pine Creek valley, many on their second or third layer of asphalt. Because so many of these homes are split-level or have additions, the leaks usually start where the roof meets a wall, not out in the open field. We find that transition first, and we check the gutters, soffit, and fascia at the same time, since on these houses they tend to fail together.
Common things we look for
- Second- or third-generation asphalt where a past re-roof went over the old shingles instead of tearing off.
- Roof-to-wall and step-flashing leaks at the level changes on split-level and bi-level homes.
- Ice-dam staining at the eaves -- Shaler sits in the North Hills winter belt where under-ventilated attics back up.
- Heavy leaf and needle load from the wooded Pine Creek hillsides collecting in valleys.
How we inspect it
- We check whether you're on one layer or two -- a tear-off and a layover are different scopes and prices, and we tell you which before we quote.
- We photograph every roof-to-wall and dormer transition, because that's where Shaler's split-levels almost always fail first.
- We look at attic intake and ridge venting together, since fixing the shingles without fixing the airflow just reschedules the ice dam.
Same crew. Same scope. Every time.
