Row Houses in Lawrenceville and the South Side Flats
Pittsburgh's brick row houses are some of the oldest homes we get on. In Lawrenceville and the South Side Flats, many of them combine a pitched roof at the street with a low-slope or nearly flat section over the back of the house or a rear addition. That back section is where most leaks begin. Water sits longer on a shallow pitch, and the seams, the parapet flashing and the joint against the neighbor's roof all wear out before the front slope does. Because the houses share walls, a repair on one roof has to tie cleanly into the one next door. We usually put EPDM or TPO on the flat portions and architectural shingles or slate repair on the pitched fronts.
Hillside Work on Mt. Washington, Polish Hill and Troy Hill
Some of the city's hardest roofs to reach sit on its steepest ground. Mt. Washington, Polish Hill, Troy Hill and the South Side Slopes have narrow streets, little room to park a dumpster, and a few homes that face public stairways instead of a road. Every bundle of shingles may have to be carried up by hand. The slope also changes how water behaves. Rain runs off these hillsides fast, so gutters and downspouts carry more volume than they would on flat ground, and a clogged outlet can send water behind the fascia within one storm. On these jobs we plan staging and debris removal before tear-off day, and we size the drainage for the hill the house sits on.
Slate and Old Detailing in Bloomfield, Friendship and Highland Park
East End neighborhoods hold a lot of original slate and wood shake. Homes in Bloomfield, Friendship and Highland Park were built long before asphalt shingles, and many still carry their first roof or pieces of it. Squirrel Hill, Shadyside and Point Breeze add big houses with several valleys and dormers on one roof. The owner's choice usually comes down to restoring the slate or converting to architectural shingles that suit the house. Either way, the inspection starts with the details that fail first on an old city roof.
- Cracked, slipped or missing slates
- Rusted valley metal and worn chimney flashing
- Gutters built into the cornice that have rotted through
- Dormer cheek walls where siding meets the roof
Where Three Rivers Meet: Valley Moisture and Winter Freeze-Thaw
The city sits where the Allegheny and Monongahela form the Ohio, and the river valleys hold moisture and humidity. Pittsburgh gets about 38 inches of rain and 28 inches of snow a year, and from November through March the temperature swings above and below freezing again and again. Water works into small cracks in shingles and flashing, freezes, and opens them wider. North-facing slopes collect ice dams at the eaves. Thunderstorms from March through September often bring hail, and the valleys can squeeze wind into strong gusts that lift shingle tabs and drop limbs onto roofs. A city roof holds up when the ventilation, underlayment and flashing are done right from the start.
