Replacing Roofs on Washington Homes
Older Washington homes often hide several layers of shingles, board sheathing with gaps, and box gutters or built-in flashing that a quick re-roof covers up instead of fixing. We strip to the deck, replace damaged boards, and rebuild chimney and wall flashing properly rather than leaning on caulk.
On steeper Victorian and foursquare roofs we plan staging, debris chutes and dumpster placement around narrow lots and alley access before the crew arrives, so the work is safe and the neighbors aren’t blocked in.
A Washington Roofer You Can Check Up On
Washington is the community we work in most outside Canonsburg. Our records show more than 100 completed projects in the 15301 ZIP code since 2017, including roof replacements for more than 60 Washington households and roof repairs or service calls for more than 20 more. You can see the ZIP code areas on our completed projects map.
- Full tear-off replacements on brick foursquares, Victorians and older two-story homes near downtown and Washington & Jefferson College, where we often find multiple layers and board sheathing.
- Ranch and split-level roofs in Canton, North Franklin and South Strabane townships that are on their second or third roof.
- Leak repairs, flashing and service calls around chimneys, skylights, valleys and roof-to-wall joints.
- Emergency tarping and storm-damage roofs after wind and hail, including documentation for your insurance adjuster.
- New gutters installed with the roof so water leaves the eaves the way it should.
Most of our recent Washington replacements use Owens Corning shingle systems (Duration and TruDefinition colors are common choices), with synthetic underlayment, ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys, and ridge ventilation. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor we can register manufacturer warranty options that many installers can’t.
Roof Repair and Emergency Service in Washington
Not every Washington roof needs replacing. If the problem is one slope, a failed pipe boot, a chimney flashing or wind-lifted shingles, we repair it and tell you honestly how much life the rest of the roof has left. For active leaks we offer same-day emergency roof repair and tarping, then schedule the permanent fix.

What Affects the Cost of a New Roof in Washington
Every proposal is written after we’ve been on the roof and in the attic, because a number called out from the driveway is a guess. The biggest price drivers on Washington homes are:
- Roof size and pitch (steep Victorian and foursquare roofs need extra staging and safety work)
- How many layers have to come off
- How much decking or board sheathing needs replacing
- Chimneys, skylights, dormers and roof-to-wall flashing
- Shingle line, or a move to metal or low-slope membrane sections
- Ventilation upgrades and new gutters
Your estimate is free and itemized, and financing is available.
When It’s Time for a New Roof
Replacement is usually the right call when several of these show up together:
- Curling, cracked or missing shingles across more than one slope
- Heavy granule loss in gutters and downspouts
- Daylight, stains or damp insulation in the attic
- Soft spots in the deck when walked
- Repeated leaks around chimneys, valleys or vents
- A second layer already on the roof
If it’s a single problem area, a roof repair may be all you need, and we’ll tell you so.
Our Roof Replacement Process
Roof & Attic Assessment
We walk the roof, check decking from the attic, and photograph every problem area so you see what we see on your Washington home.
Written Proposal
Itemized scope covering tear-off, decking allowance, underlayment, ventilation, flashing, shingle line and color, gutters if needed, and schedule.
Selections
Compare colors with our shingle color guide or preview them on your house with the roof visualizer.
Installation Day
Landscaping and siding protected, full tear-off to the deck, ice and water barrier at eaves and valleys, new flashing and ridge ventilation, magnetic sweep of the yard.
Final Walkthrough
We review the finished roof with you and close every punch-list item. We won’t leave your doorstep until you’re satisfied.
Shingle, Metal and Low-Slope Options
Architectural Shingles
Dimensional shingles in a wide range of colors, installed as a complete system with matching starter, underlayment, hip and ridge.
Designer Shingles
Heavier profiles that mimic slate or shake for homes where the roof is a major part of curb appeal.
Metal Roofing
Standing seam for homes and accents, exposed-fastener panels for barns, garages and outbuildings.
Low-Slope Sections
Porch roofs and additions done in membrane systems made for low pitch, so they don’t rely on shingles that weren’t designed for it.

Washington Roofing Questions
How long does a roof replacement take in Washington?
Most single-family homes are completed in one to two working days once materials arrive. Multi-layer tear-offs, rotted decking or steep Victorian roofs can add time, and we tell you that in the proposal.

Not always. Board sheathing is often sound, but gaps and rot are common near eaves and chimneys. We price a decking allowance per sheet in writing so there are no surprises.

Yes. We offer same-day emergency roof repair to stop water and protect the interior, then recommend a permanent fix. Call (412) 498-4299.
Can you help with a storm damage insurance claim?
We document damage with photos, prepare a detailed estimate and can meet your adjuster on site. Coverage decisions are made by your insurer under your policy. See our storm damage page.
