Roofing

How long does a residential roof last in the Pittsburgh area?

A quality architectural asphalt shingle roof typically lasts 25–30 years here. Pittsburgh’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow make proper installation, ventilation, and ice-and-water shielding essential.

Do I need a repair or a full roof replacement?

A free inspection tells us for sure. Isolated damage can often be repaired, but widespread granule loss, curling, sagging, or multiple leaks usually mean replacement is the better long-term value.

What roofing materials do you install?

We are an Atlas SELECT ShingleMaster™ certified contractor and primarily install Atlas Pinnacle Pristine architectural shingles, backed by a 50-year non-prorated material warranty. We also install and repair flat (low-slope) roofs.

Siding

What types of siding do you offer?

We install vinyl, composite (engineered wood), and fiber cement siding—each with different looks, price points, and durability. We’ll help you choose the best fit for your home and budget.

How long does new siding last?

Quality vinyl siding lasts roughly 20–40 years, while fiber cement can last 50 years or more. Correct installation is key to achieving the full lifespan.

Will new siding improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Modern siding—especially with insulated backing—reduces drafts and improves efficiency while dramatically boosting curb appeal.

Gutters, Soffit & Fascia

What are seamless gutters and why are they better?

Seamless gutters are formed from a single piece of material on-site with no seams along the runs, meaning far fewer leak points than sectional gutters and a cleaner look. We also install gutter guards for tree-heavy properties.

Why do soffit and fascia matter?

Fascia is the board behind your gutters; soffit is the underside of the overhang. Together they protect your roof edge and support attic ventilation. Damaged soffit and fascia invite water, pests, and rot.

Windows & Doors

Do you install replacement windows and exterior doors?

Yes. We install energy-efficient replacement windows and exterior doors that improve comfort, security, curb appeal, and energy savings.

Can new windows and doors lower my energy bills?

Absolutely. Modern low-E windows and well-insulated doors with proper weatherstripping seal out drafts and ease the load on your heating and cooling system.
