Across the Westover Bridge From Downtown Morgantown
Westover got its name from its spot over the Monongahela from Morgantown, and the Westover Bridge on US 19 ties the two together. The current bridge opened in 1977. The city was incorporated in 1911 and stayed small, about 1.5 square miles, so most streets are only a few minutes from downtown. That short drive helps when a storm comes through. A Westover leak can usually be looked at and tarped quickly, and a full replacement can be scheduled without the travel delays that come with jobs out in Preston County. We treat Westover and Morgantown as one service zone.
Riverside, Morgan Heights and Fairmor After the 1940s Annexations
Westover grew in the late 1940s by annexing Riverside, Morgan Heights, Fairmor and Maple Grove, and its population peaked around 1970. That timeline shows in the houses. Most were built from the 1940s through the 1970s: ranches, Cape Cods and split-levels with simple gable or hip roofs. Many are on their second or third roof now, and some still carry two layers of shingles. We tear these down to the deck, replace soft or delaminated boards, and start fresh. Simple roof shapes make the job straightforward, which keeps replacements on these modest, well-built homes practical.
Fixing Attic Airflow in Westover's Ranches and Capes
A lot of older Westover homes never had proper attic ventilation, and earlier reroofs often left it that way. Cape Cods are the worst for it, with knee walls and half-story bedrooms that trap heat right under the shingles. Poor airflow cooks shingles in July and feeds ice dams in January, and it can leave the deck damp enough to grow mildew. Fixing it during a replacement costs far less than coming back later. When we reroof here, we check the attic and correct what we find:
- Continuous ridge vent in place of old box vents
- Clearing or adding soffit intake vents
- Baffles to keep insulation off the roof deck
- Sealing bath fans that dump moisture into the attic
From the Riverbank Up to Holland Avenue and Dupont Road
Westover climbs from the river flats up the hillside toward Dupont Road and the I-79 interchange at Exit 152. Homes near the water deal with valley humidity and fog that keep north-facing slopes damp, which brings moss and black algae streaks. Houses higher up dry out faster but catch more wind, and we see more lifted tabs and missing ridge caps after a storm there. Streets off Holland Avenue mix both conditions within a few blocks. We match shingle choice and nailing to where the house sits, with algae-resistant shingles in the low spots and high wind-rated products on the exposed hilltop lots.
