Sewickley Roofing & Exterior Services
Sewickley is one of Pittsburgh's most historic and charming communities, situated along the Ohio River with a mix of Victorian, Colonial, and Craftsman homes that are 80 to 120 years old. Many of these homes have original architectural details worth preserving, and that requires a roofer who understands both modern materials and historic building practices. Roofing Pro Plus brings 30+ years in roofing to Sewickley homeowners, specializing in matching historic shingle profiles and working within historic district guidelines.

Victorian and Craftsman Houses in Sewickley Village
Most homes in the borough proper date to the late 1800s and early 1900s, which puts many of them between 80 and 120 years old. Victorians, Colonials and Craftsman houses line the streets around Beaver Street and Broad Street, and a lot of them still have original slate, copper or wood shake details. Owners here usually want to keep the character of the house. Sometimes that means repairing the slate that is already there. When a full replacement makes more sense, we use products such as CertainTeed Grand Manor or DaVinci Roofscapes that copy slate, shake and older shingle profiles. Steep pitches and decorative copper call for careful flashing work at every junction.
Ohio River Fog and Moss on North-Facing Slopes
Sewickley is a river town, and the Ohio River valley gives it more humidity than the hilltop communities around it. Morning fog settles in and keeps roofs damp longer. That extra moisture feeds moss and algae on north-facing slopes, and moss can lift shingle edges and hold water against the roof. Storm winds also funnel along the river corridor. The lower elevation means slightly warmer temperatures, which can add freeze-thaw cycles in early spring and late fall. On Sewickley roofs we use synthetic underlayment, pay extra attention to valley flashing and attic ventilation, and recommend algae-resistant shingles. Zinc strips and cleaning help on roofs that already have growth.
Estate Roofs Up Blackburn Road in Sewickley Heights
Climb Blackburn Road out of the village and the houses change. Sewickley Heights is estate country, with large homes set on big lots and roofs that spread across several wings, dormers and long valleys. A roof that size needs a plan before anyone starts tearing off. We work out the order of sections so the house is never left open to weather, map how water moves from one wing to the next, and lay out the shingle courses so lines stay straight across connected roof planes. Valleys between wings carry a lot of water in a heavy rain and deserve the best underlayment on the job. Long driveways and landscaped grounds also shape where materials and dumpsters can go.
Beaver Street Storefronts and Our Dawson Avenue Office
Roofing Pro Plus is headquartered at 265 Dawson Avenue, right in the borough, so Sewickley, Edgeworth, Glen Osborne, Leetsdale and Sewickley Heights are close to home for us. When a storm comes through the Ohio River valley, we are often on Sewickley roofs the same day. The commercial blocks along Beaver Street and Thorn Street are a different kind of work. Restaurants, shops and offices there mostly have flat or low-slope roofs, and we install and maintain TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen systems on them. Regular maintenance on a storefront roof keeps a small seam problem from turning into water on the sales floor.
