Roof Replacement in Pittsburgh, PA

What's Included in Roof Replacement

• Full tear-off of all existing roofing materials
• Deck inspection and replacement of damaged sheathing
• Ice and water shield along eaves, valleys, and penetrations
• Synthetic underlayment across the entire roof deck
• New drip edge on all eaves and rakes
• Step and counter flashing at walls and chimneys
• Installation of your chosen roofing material
• Ridge vent installation and ventilation check
• Full site cleanup with magnetic nail sweep

A roof replacement from Roofing Pro Plus covers every step from tear-off to final cleanup. We do not cut corners. Each project starts with a complete removal of old roofing material so we can inspect the deck underneath and fix any problems before new material goes on.

We replace rotten or soft sheathing, install proper ice and water barriers, and lay synthetic underlayment across the full deck. New drip edge, flashing, and ventilation components are installed before any shingles or metal panels go down.

After installation, our crew sweeps the yard and runs a magnetic roller to catch stray nails. You get a clean property and a roof built to handle Pittsburgh weather for decades.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement

• Shingles curling, buckling, or missing in multiple areas
• Heavy granule loss filling your gutters after every rain
• Daylight visible through the attic boards
• Roof is 20 years old or older
• Multiple active leaks or water stains on ceilings
• Sagging roof deck between rafters

Pittsburgh and Morgantown roofs take a beating. Freeze-thaw cycles through winter cause shingles to crack and lift. Summer storms bring hail and high winds that strip granules and tear shingles loose. A roof past 20 years has been through hundreds of these cycles.

A few missing shingles can be repaired. But when you see curling across large sections, heavy granule loss, or soft spots in the deck, replacement is the smarter investment. Patching an old roof only delays the problem and costs more over time.

We give honest assessments. If a repair will hold for several more years, we say so. If replacement makes more sense, we explain why and hand you a clear written quote with no pressure.

Our Roof Replacement Process

2. Written Estimate - You receive an itemized estimate with material options and a clear timeline.
3. Permit Filing - We pull all required permits from your local municipality before work begins.
4. Tear-Off - Our crew removes all existing roofing material down to the deck boards.

6. Installation - Underlayment, flashing, and your chosen roofing material are installed to manufacturer specifications.
7. Cleanup and Walk-Through - Full site cleanup, magnetic nail sweep, and a final walkthrough with you to confirm everything looks right.

Our own crew handles every step. We do not subcontract our installations. The same team that starts your roof finishes it. You have one point of contact throughout the project.

Materials and Warranty Details

We install roofing products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice for Pittsburgh homes and carry manufacturer warranties from 30 to 50 years depending on the product line. Standing seam metal roofing is available for homeowners who want a 40 to 60 year roof with almost zero maintenance.

We also install 3-tab shingles for budget-conscious projects, EPDM and TPO membranes for flat or low-slope commercial roofs, and slate for historic or custom-built homes. Every installation includes our workmanship warranty on labor. If an installation-related issue comes up during the warranty period, we come back and fix it at no charge. Material warranties are provided by the manufacturer and we help you register them after the job is done.

Cost Factors for Roof Replacement in Western PA and North-Central WV

Roof replacement cost depends on several factors. Roof size, measured in squares (each square is 100 square feet), is the biggest driver. Pitch matters because steeper roofs need more safety equipment and take longer to complete. The number of existing layers to tear off affects labor and disposal fees.

Material selection also affects your total. Architectural shingles cost more than 3-tab but last significantly longer. Standing seam metal has a higher upfront price but can outlast shingles by two to three times. Slate is the premium option for historic homes and custom builds.

We provide free, itemized estimates so you see exactly what each line item costs. No hidden fees. No surprises on the invoice. Call (412) 510-2666 for Pittsburgh or (304) 376-8832 for Morgantown to schedule yours.
