A Full Roof Replacement in Squirrel Hill

This Squirrel Hill home had a worn brown shingle roof with damaged spots across the slopes. In November 2025 our crew tore it off and replaced it with new gray architectural shingles. The drone photos follow the job from the old roof to the finished one.

Squirrel Hill is one of Pittsburgh’s busiest East End neighborhoods, with large older homes on tight lots and plenty of tall trees. That means steep roofs, hip roofs and porch roofs that all have to come together cleanly, and very little room to work on the ground. This home had a hip roof over the main house and a separate front porch roof, and both were worn out.

“What a positive experience!” Andrew S., Google review

What We Did

Materials Used

The old roof had bare and damaged areas visible from the air. On a hip roof, every hip line is a seam, so worn shingles there let water in quickly. Replacing the full roof gave the house new shingles on every slope and straight, sealed hip lines from the peak down to the porch.

Questions About This Project

Yes. We plan the dumpster, ladders and material drop around tight lots and neighbors, and clean up the street and walks when we finish.

Yes. Roofing the porch with the main house keeps the shingles matching and lets us seal where the two roofs meet.

Yes. We work in Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Point Breeze, Regent Square and Highland Park.

Look for worn or missing shingles along the hip lines, granules in the gutters and stains on the ceilings below. We check all of this during a free inspection.
