Roofing Services in Point Marion
We offer a full range of residential and commercial roofing services to homeowners in Point Marion and Fayette County. From emergency repairs to complete roof replacements, Roofing Pro Plus handles it all.
Where the Cheat River Meets the Monongahela
Point Marion sits right where the Cheat River flows into the Monongahela, less than a mile north of the West Virginia line. Two rivers meeting means a lot of moisture in the air. Homes near the water see more fog and higher humidity than places up on the ridges, and roofs stay damp longer after every rain. Over the years that shows up as soft spots in the roof deck, rotted fascia boards and moss on the shaded slopes. On a Point Marion tear-off we check every sheet of the deck before anything new goes down, and we make sure the attic has enough venting to dry out between wet spells.
Homes From the Houze Glass Years
Belgian immigrant Leon Houze opened his glass company in Point Marion in 1902, and it was the town's main employer for most of the century until it closed in 2004. Much of the borough's housing comes from those first decades of the 1900s, along with mid-century homes built later. These are mostly wood-frame houses that have been patched and re-roofed over each other several times. It is common to find two or three layers of shingles stacked on one roof. A full tear-off with modern underlayment is usually the most cost-effective fix for these houses, because it takes the weight off the framing and exposes rot that layering has been hiding.
Hail and Wind at the Mouth of the Cheat
In this corner of Fayette County, summer thunderstorms bring hail and strong straight-line winds, and older roofs with brittle shingles lose tabs first. Hail damage is easy to miss from the ground. It shows up as bruised spots and missing granules that let the shingle break down faster. After a storm we inspect for free, photograph the damage on every slope, and work directly with your insurance company through the claim. Gutters, siding and window wraps on the weather side of the house get checked at the same time, since they take the same hits.
Rural Lots Toward Friendship Hill and New Geneva
Outside the borough, the roads climb toward Friendship Hill, Albert Gallatin's old home about three miles north, and on toward New Geneva and Smithfield. Homes out here sit on bigger, steeper lots, often with a long gravel drive and a garage or barn that needs a roof too. Access shapes these jobs. Material may need to be staged near the road, and steep yards limit where a dumpster can sit. Because Point Marion sits on the state line, homeowners can reach us at the Pittsburgh office at (412) 510-2666 or the Morgantown office at (304) 376-8832, and either one can set up the estimate.
