What Pleasant Hills Homeowners Are Saying
SERVICES
Residential Roofing Services in Pleasant Hills, PA
Roof Installation
For new builds and additions, we install complete roofing systems from the deck up. That includes deck inspection, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, drip edge, step and counter flashing, ridge venting, Owens Corning architectural shingles, and ridge cap.
You pick the shingle color and profile to fit the home’s curb appeal and our roofers handle the complete installation, including permitting.
Roof Leak Repair
We trace active leaks back to the entry point, which is usually flashing, a failed pipe boot, a valley seam, or a chimney crown rather than the ceiling stain itself. The repair includes resealing or replacing the failed component, checking adjacent flashing, and inspecting the deck and insulation for water damage. You get documented proof of the damage and repairs.
Roof Replacement
Full tear-off and replacement covers everything from removing the old shingles down to the deck and rebuilding to current code. We haul off the old material, replace any rotted decking, install new underlayment and ice-and-water shield, set new flashing around chimneys and pipe boots, lay new Owens Corning shingles, and finish with a ridge cap.
Every replacement comes with our 10-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s material warranty.
What Sets Us Apart
Serving South Hills Since 2007
Pleasant Hills roofs face a specific set of challenges. We’ve seen the patterns enough times to plan around them during installation rather than fixing them in a callback.
One Point of Contact
You call. Joe answers. He inspects, prices, schedules, supervises, and walks the property with you when the job’s done. You won’t get bounced among a salesperson, a coordinator, and a foreman, each telling you something different.
Honest Pricing
Every estimate breaks down materials, labor, and scope on paper before any work starts. If we open up the deck and find rot that wasn’t visible from the outside, we stop and talk to you before adding anything to the price.
Owens Corning Preferred Contractor
We install Owens Corning the way the manufacturer wants, which unlocks longer, non-prorated material warranties on qualifying jobs. It also gives us direct access to the full shingle catalog, so we can match colors on partial replacements and pull premium lines without distributor markup.

We’ll inspect your roof, take photos, and explain what we find in plain English. If your roof still has a few good years left, we’ll tell you.
2
We help you choose materials

3
We get the work done
On installation day, we protect your property, place the dump trailer with care, and remove the old roof step by step. Most roof jobs take about one to three days.
