Steel-Era Houses in J&L's Numbered Plans
Aliquippa grew up around the Jones and Laughlin steel works, and J&L built its worker neighborhoods as numbered Plans, twelve of them in the end. The neighborhoods still go by those names today. The houses date from the 1910s through the post-war years, frame and brick, many on narrow lots. After 70 to 100 years, a lot of them carry two or three layers of shingles over the original board sheathing. We tear those roofs off down to the deck, replace boards that have rotted around chimneys and along the eaves, and put down underlayment and ventilation that the original builders never installed. Skipping the tear-off on these houses just hides the rot for a few more years.
Snow Slides and Fascia Damage on Aliquippa's Steep Slopes
Aliquippa is built on hillsides, and many homes have steep-pitch roofs set on lots that drop away from the street. Steep south-facing pitches collect a heavy snow load and then shed it unevenly once the sun hits them. That sliding snow tears at gutters and bends fascia boards, and the damage tends to show up every March. A new roof here should come with gutters hung on hidden hangers screwed into solid wood, and with drip edge that carries water past the fascia. Working on these roofs takes scaffolding and proper fall protection, since the downhill side of a house can be a full story taller than the street side.
West Aliquippa, Down Along the Ohio
West Aliquippa sits along the Ohio River north of the rest of the city, on ground that was once the Aliquippa Park amusement grounds before J&L bought the riverfront for its mill. It was largely an Italian immigrant neighborhood in the 1920s, and much of the housing is from that period. Being right on the river means damp mornings, fog and slow-drying roofs. We see more moss and algae here than on the hilltop streets, along with rotted fascia and soffit behind clogged gutters. Older porches often have flat or near-flat roofs that were covered in roll roofing years ago and patched many times since. Those are good candidates for a modified bitumen or EPDM membrane.
Ranches and Split-Levels Along Brodhead Road
Brodhead Road runs through Aliquippa and on into Center and Hopewell townships, and the housing changes as you follow it. Farther from the old mill streets you find more brick ranches and split-levels on wider lots, with lower, simpler roofs than the Plans. On these homes the usual trouble is storm damage more than age. Hail bruises shingles without always knocking them loose, and wind lifts tabs along the rakes. After a storm we photograph each slope, mark the hits, and meet with your adjuster so the claim reflects what is actually on the roof. Gutters on these ranches are often the original aluminum and worth replacing at the same time.
