A Borough Named for Andrew Carnegie, With Houses From Its Mill Years

Carnegie was formed in 1894 when the boroughs of Chartiers and Mansfield merged, and it took its name from Andrew Carnegie, whose library and music hall still stand in town. Many homes here were built in the early 1900s during the borough's industrial years. They tend to have steep roofs, narrow lot lines and limited room for ladders and dumpsters. Some still have original slate or older roofing hidden under the current shingles. On these houses we tear off to the deck every time. It is the only way to see the condition of old board sheathing and repair it before the new roof goes on.

Chartiers Creek After Ivan: Moisture and Runoff in the Valley

Carnegie sits down in the Chartiers Creek valley, and the town remembers September 17, 2004, when the remnants of Hurricane Ivan sent the creek over its banks and into the Main Street business district. Roofs cannot stop a flood, but the valley shapes how they age. Humidity stays higher than on the hilltops around town, which encourages moss and algae on north-facing slopes. Runoff from the surrounding hills puts a heavy load on gutters and downspouts in a hard rain. We recommend algae-resistant shingles here and gutters and downspouts sized to move water well away from the foundation.

Flat Roofs Over Main Street Storefronts

Main Street has come back strong since the flood, with new restaurants and small businesses in its older commercial buildings. Many of those buildings have flat or low-slope roofs behind a front parapet, often with apartments or offices above the shop. These roofs leak in familiar places, at the parapet flashing, around drains and scuppers, and at old patches from earlier repairs. We install and repair flat and low-slope commercial roofing throughout Carnegie's business district. On a mixed-use building, a leak reaches someone's living space or business fast, so we fix the cause rather than adding another layer of patch.

Hillside Homes Above the Creek, Off Route 50

The neighborhoods climbing the hills on either side of Carnegie's downtown hold a lot of homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, with steep pitches and some older architectural details. Route 50, Washington Pike, runs through town, and the Parkway West passes close by. The valley funnels wind during storms, so gusts can be stronger than a sheltered-looking hillside suggests. Correct nailing patterns and well-sealed shingle edges matter on these roofs. Carnegie is centrally located in our service area, and we can typically respond same-day for active leaks and storm damage.
