A Suburb Built Around the 1924 Liberty Tunnels
Mt. Lebanon started as a trolley suburb when streetcar service to Pittsburgh began in 1901. The real growth came after the Liberty Tunnels opened in 1924 and put the city a short drive away. The population grew roughly sixfold during the 1920s, and Tudor and Colonial Revival houses filled street after street. In 2014 much of that early automobile suburb was listed on the National Register as a historic district. The listing is honorary and does not restrict what owners do to their homes. Most of these houses have had one or two roof replacements already, and the original framing and details still shape how the job is done.
Tudor Cross-Gables, Slate and Steep Pitches
The 1920s and 1930s houses that define Lebo neighborhoods were built with steep roofs. Tudors have cross-gables that create deep valleys and short, tricky runs of shingle. Colonials add dormers, and some homes from that period still carry slate. Steep pitches shed snow well, but they demand roof jacks, harnesses and a crew used to working on them. Where an owner wants to keep the period look without the weight and cost of slate, designer shingles that copy slate or wood shake are a good fit. Mid-century ranches with lower slopes are part of the mix too, and they need different underlayment and ventilation choices than the steep Tudors on the next block.
Old Shade Trees, Moss and Leaf-Clogged Valleys
Mt. Lebanon's tree canopy is one of the reasons people move here, and it is hard on roofs. Shade keeps north-facing slopes damp, which grows moss and the dark algae streaks seen on many older roofs. The streaks are mostly cosmetic. Moss is not, because it lifts shingle edges and holds water underneath. Every fall, leaves pack into valleys and behind chimneys and trap moisture against the shingles. Mt. Lebanon also sits higher than the river valleys, so it catches more snow and wind, and ice dams can form at the eaves in January and February. Algae-resistant shingles, gutter guards and routine debris clearing all help.
Working on Tight Lots Off Washington Road and Bower Hill Road
Lots in the older parts of Mt. Lebanon are narrow, and houses along streets off Washington Road, Bower Hill Road, Cedar Boulevard and Cochran Road often sit a few feet from the neighbor's driveway. A tear-off here takes planning. We protect driveways, flower beds and walkways during tear-off and clean up thoroughly every day. Mt. Lebanon has its own building department, and a permit is required for a roof replacement, so we handle the application and inspection. The commercial buildings along Washington Road uptown and the Beverly Road business district add flat and low-slope roofs to the work we do in the municipality.
