More Questions Homeowners Ask

Do you handle historic homes and permits?
Yes, definitely. Similarly, many Mt Washington properties fall under Pittsburgh’s historic guidelines. Because of this, we coordinate the permit application and any required historic review paperwork as part of the project scope.
What roof problems are most common in Mt Washington?
Indeed, hillside wind exposure damages ridge caps and step flashing. What’s more, freeze-thaw cycles crack sealants and lift slate. Namely, older chimneys often need flashing rebuilds. In addition, we check all three during every inspection.
Do you offer written estimates before starting work?
Likewise, every project begins with a free written estimate emailed within 48 hours of inspection. As a result, the quote lists materials, labor, permits, and warranty terms line by line — no verbal-only quotes.
Can you work around the narrow streets near the inclines?
That’s right. For example, trucks and lifts are sized for tight access on Bailey Avenue, P.J. Notably, mcArdle Roadway, and streets near the Duquesne and Monongahela Inclines. Similarly, parking permits are handled if the street requires them.
