Roofing Services in Wexford, Pennsylvania
Wexford is one of the highest-income suburbs north of Pittsburgh, and the homes here reflect that.

Roofing Pro Plus brings 30+ years in roofing to Wexford and the surrounding Pine-Richland area. We understand what Wexford homeowners expect: premium materials, meticulous flashing details, clean installs, and a crew that respects your property.

Wexford Spans Pine, Marshall, McCandless and Franklin Park
Wexford is a postal name, not a borough. The homes with a Wexford address sit in Pine Township, Marshall Township, McCandless and Franklin Park, with much of daily life running along Route 19, the Perry Highway. That matters on a roofing job because the permit comes from whichever municipality the house is in, and many subdivisions add their own HOA rules on shingle color and style. Before materials are ordered, we confirm which township office handles the permit and get the association's approved palette so the new roof matches what the review board expects. A few phone calls up front keep a Wexford project from stalling halfway through.
Original 1990s and 2000s Roofs Coming Due
A large share of Wexford's houses went up in the 1990s and early 2000s, so their original roofs are now 20 to 30 years old. Many were finished with builder-grade 3-tab shingles that were never meant to last this long. Twenty-plus Wexford winters have done their work on them, and curled tabs, granule loss and worn pipe boots are common on a walk across one of these roofs. When we replace one, we upgrade the whole system rather than laying new shingles over the same weak points.
- Synthetic underlayment in place of felt paper
- Ice and water shield along the eaves and in every valley
- Drip edge on all roof edges
- Ridge ventilation sized to the attic
- Architectural shingles in place of the original 3-tab
Big Rooflines, Stone Chimneys and Skylights
Wexford houses tend to be larger than the regional average, and the roofs show it. A single home can have several gables, a few dormers, more than one pitch, and long valleys where those planes meet. Each of those transitions is a place where water can get in. Stone chimneys need step and counterflashing cut to the irregular masonry. Skylights need their own flashing kits installed in the right order. Steep slopes need the starter course set correctly or the first row of shingles will not seal. For owners who want a longer-lasting option on a custom home, standing seam metal handles snow well and suits the look of the area, and designer shingles are another choice.
Higher Ground West of North Park Means More Snow
Wexford sits on higher ground than the city, in rolling hill country west of North Park, and it collects more snow and colder nights than Pittsburgh proper. That combination is what builds ice dams. Heat leaking from the living space melts snow on the upper roof, the water runs down to the cold overhang and freezes, and the ridge of ice backs the next melt up under the shingles. Houses with multiple pitches give ice more places to collect, especially where a valley empties onto a lower roof. The fix is a mix of ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, enough attic ventilation to keep the deck cold, and starter strips that resist ice backup.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we have completed roofing projects in most of the major HOAs in the Wexford area. We coordinate with the HOA architectural review process and use shingle colors and styles that match approved palettes.
What is the best roofing material for large Wexford homes?
