A Familiar Name in Washington

Washington is one of the places we work most outside Canonsburg. Most of those jobs are roof replacements and repairs, but the list also includes siding, gutters, decks and porches, interior remodels and whole-home renovations. You can see where on our completed projects map.

Washington’s Housing Stock, and What It Needs

Washington has a wider range of homes than most towns its size. Around the courthouse and in the East Washington Historic District there are late-1800s and early-1900s brick homes and frame Queen Anne houses with steep roofs, turrets, wraparound porches and plenty of trim. Those roofs have more valleys, more flashing and more places for water to get in, and the porch roofs often need their own repair.

Out in Canton, Chartiers, North Franklin and South Franklin townships there are a lot of mid-century brick ranches and split-levels with simple roofs. Many of them are on their second or third layer of shingles, which means a full tear-off and a check of the decking underneath.

Subdivisions built in South Strabane and North Strabane in the 1990s and 2000s are reaching the age when original roofs and builder-grade siding wear out. Updating both at once lets us coordinate the flashing, trim and gutters between them.

Built for Washington County Weather

Washington County winters swing above and below freezing, sometimes in the same day. That freeze-thaw cycle opens up worn flashing and lets ice dams form on low-slope porch roofs and along the eaves. In summer, thunderstorms bring strong straight-line winds and the occasional hail, and mature trees around older neighborhoods drop limbs on roofs and gutters.

Hillside lots add their own problem: a lot of runoff, quickly. Properly sized gutters and downspouts that carry water away from the foundation are an inexpensive way to protect a basement. When storms do damage, we offer same-day emergency roof repair and document the damage for your insurance claim.
