Split-Levels and Bi-Levels Along South Park Road
Bethel Park filled in quickly from the 1960s through the 1980s, and the split-levels and bi-levels along South Park Road are typical of that period. These homes were originally roofed with three-tab shingles, and most of those have long passed their rated life. Many owners are on their first or second replacement cycle right now. A split-level has more going on than it looks like from the street. The roof steps down from the upper level to the lower one, and the joint where the lower roof meets the upper wall needs step flashing and a clean transition. Upgrading to architectural shingles gives better wind resistance and a longer warranty period.
Mid-Size Roofs From Library Road to Brightwood Road
Neighborhoods off Library Road, Brightwood Road and Hamilton Road hold homes built from the 1950s to today, and most of them are mid-size with moderate roof complexity. That makes replacement here fairly straightforward. Many homes roofed with architectural shingles in the late 1990s or early 2000s are now near the 25 to 30 year mark, which is the time to plan rather than wait for a leak. Our written estimates spell out each part of the job.
- Tear-off and disposal of the old roof
- Underlayment, ice and water shield, and drip edge
- Ridge ventilation
- New shingles and full cleanup
Leaves, Shade and Moss in Neighborhoods Near South Park
Bethel Park borders South Park, and the township's older neighborhoods have a mature tree canopy of their own. In the fall, leaves pile into valleys and collect behind dormers and chimneys, where they hold moisture against the shingles and wear away the granules. Homes on north-facing slopes stay shaded longer, which encourages moss and algae. Clogged gutters make it worse by letting water back up under the first course of shingles. A fall gutter cleaning and a look at the valleys go a long way here. On roofs with moss already established, we treat it and look at whether the shingles underneath have started to lift.
Rolling Terrain and Wind on Bethel Park's Higher Streets
Bethel Park is not flat. The township rolls from ridge to hollow, and the hilltop streets are much more exposed to wind than the sheltered neighborhoods lower down. After a windstorm, it is the houses on the high ground that tend to lose tabs or whole shingles. We recommend a quick look after any strong wind event, from the yard with binoculars if nothing else, for lifted, creased or missing shingles. Small wind damage left alone through a winter of freeze-thaw cycles turns into a leak by spring. On exposed lots, a high-wind nailing pattern and properly sealed starter rows make a real difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my 1970s Bethel Park home due for a new roof?
Very likely. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s have typically had at least one roof replacement already. If your current shingles are over 20 years old, a professional inspection will tell you where things stand.
Should I upgrade from three-tab to architectural shingles?
We recommend it. Architectural shingles are thicker, more wind-resistant, and carry longer warranties than three-tab. They also improve your home's curb appeal and can increase its resale value.
