How we compare
| Option | Written scope | Ice/water shield | Steep-pitch 8/12+ | License on estimate | Warranty on page one |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roof Repair Pittsburgh | Line-item, fixed price | 3-ft eaves + all valleys | Routine, incl. slate + copper | PA HIC + COI included | Workmanship + manufacturer |
| Typical alternative | Verbal or time-and-materials | Valleys only, sometimes skipped | Declined or subbed out | Available “on request” | Handed over after install |
Written scope, no add-ons
Every proposal is line-item — deck, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, ridge — with a fixed price before we start.
Ice-and-water shield to code
We roll 3-ft ice-and-water shield up every eave and valley — Pittsburgh’s freeze-thaw cycle demands it, and PA code requires it.
Century-home steep-pitch work
Slate, tile, and 8/12+ asphalt on Squirrel Hill, Lawrenceville, and Mt. Washington — the roofs most crews walk away from.
Warranty on page one
Workmanship warranty and manufacturer term are on page one of the estimate — not a separate document you get later.

Local Pittsburgh Experience
8/12+ steep-pitch and slate work on century-old homes across Squirrel Hill, Lawrenceville, and Mt. Washington — the roofs most crews walk away from.
No Verbal Add-Ons
Same-week inspection windows, photo-documented every layer, and a fixed price before we start — nothing added to the invoice after the fact.
What do you need?
Roof Inspection & Written Scope
Homeowners with a stain, leak, or unknown roof age
You want an honest look before deciding on repair vs. replace
Targeted Repair
Localized leak, flashing failure, missing shingles
The roof has 8+ years left; one section needs attention
Full Tear-Off & Re-Roof
Century-home, end-of-life shingle, or storm damage
You want a 25-year system, not another patch
How the job runs
Written estimate on site
We put eyes on the roof, photograph what we find, and email a line-item scope within 48 hours.
Controlled tear-off
We tarp landscaping, tear only what we can dry-in that day, and haul debris the same afternoon.
Deck repair, documented
Any rot or delamination is photographed, priced from the written per-sheet rate, and approved before install.
Underlayment and flashing
3-ft ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, new drip edge and step flashing throughout.
Warranty on paper
Workmanship and manufacturer terms are handed over with photos of every layer — not a verbal promise.
What homeowners say
Client Story
“The written scope covered flashing, valley, ice shield, and a per-sheet rate for any decking — before we talked about a total. No verbal add-ons showed up on the invoice.”
Representative first-visit walkthrough — homeowner names published only with signed release
Client Story
“Two other crews wouldn’t touch the 12/12 slate. Roof Repair Pittsburgh sent a project lead who explained how they’d tie in the new copper valley — with photos of similar work — before the estimate came.”
Representative century-home account — Squirrel Hill, name published on signed release
Real Pittsburgh Roof Transformations
A storm-worn asphalt roof torn off and replaced with a new architectural shingle system — same home, same street, before the crew ever started.
