Builder-Grade Roofs in the Plans Off Route 228 and Freedom Road

Most of Cranberry was built in one long run from the late 1990s into the 2000s, as plans filled in along Route 228, Freedom Road, Rochester Road and Haine School Road. Builders put similar builder-grade shingles on house after house, and those shingles were rated for roughly 20 to 25 years. If your home went up before about 2005, the roof is at or near that point. You can usually see it from the driveway. Look for granules piling up at the downspouts, tab edges starting to curl, and dark streaks on the north side. We also go into the attic, because builder-grade ventilation in that era was often too thin for the size of the house.

Wind Exposure in Northern Cranberry and the Route 228 Corridor

Cranberry sits higher than the Pittsburgh river valleys, and many of its newer plans were cut out of open farmland with few mature trees left standing. Wind crosses that ground with nothing to slow it down, especially in the northern part of the township and along Route 228. The first shingles to lift are almost always along the rakes and the ridge. Snow piles up more here than in the city as well, and ice dams form on homes with shallow overhangs. On a Cranberry replacement we use shingles with high wind ratings, nail in the manufacturer's high-wind pattern, and run ice and water shield up from the eaves and through every valley.

Townhome Rows and HOA Color Rules in Cranberry Communities

A large share of Cranberry homes sit inside homeowners associations, from townhome communities to newer single-family plans. Most associations have rules on shingle color and profile, so it pays to pull your covenant and get the color approved in writing before work is scheduled. Attached townhomes add another wrinkle. The roof line often runs straight across several units, so one owner's new roof has to tie into the neighbor's older shingles at the party wall. That seam needs careful flashing and matched exposure lines, or it becomes the first place to leak. Some associations avoid the problem by replacing a whole building at once.

Commercial Roofs Near the I-79 and Turnpike Interchange

Cranberry's commercial growth followed the meeting of I-79 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Route 19 and Route 228 are now lined with retail centers, medical offices, restaurants and office buildings, including the area around Cranberry Springs Drive. Most of those buildings sit under TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen membranes installed during the same building boom as the surrounding houses, so many are reaching middle age together. As these roofs get older, seams open up around rooftop units and drains clog with leaves from parking lot trees. A walk-through in spring and again in fall catches most of that before water shows up on a ceiling tile.
