Home / Cranberry Township
Cranberry is one of the densest office and retail corridors north of Pittsburgh, and almost all of it is modern low-slope commercial roofing carrying a great deal of rooftop equipment.
Certified To Install
It gets patched, it holds through one dry spell, and it is back the next time the wind drives rain the wrong way.
We find where the water actually gets in before anyone quotes you a system.
A full tear-off was quoted on a roof that may not need one, and nobody showed you the condition of the deck.
We say so when a roof does not need replacing, even though replacing it pays us more.
Mil thickness, ponding ratios, a system name you were told to trust. You are responsible for the building and cannot check a word of it.
Nothing happens on your roof without you knowing first. That is the rule here, not a slogan.
That is the one that costs the most and it is the reason this company exists. The contractor who came in sixty thousand dollars cheaper than us on a roof nearby is no longer trading. We are the ones installing the replacement.
Ask us who services your roof in year three. It is the only question on this page we can answer with a name.
Cranberry’s commercial stock is newer than almost anywhere else we work, and the leak calls are just as frequent. That surprises owners, and it should not.
A roof’s field membrane is the durable part. The details are hand-made, and on an equipment-heavy building there are a great many of them.
Before we look for a leak on a Cranberry building we ask who has been up there and when. HVAC service, cabling, solar surveys and antenna work all involve people on the roof who are not roofers.
It narrows the search dramatically and it is the single most common cause of a new leak on a roof that was sound last season.
Office and retail buildings in this corridor carry a lot of rooftop units, and every unit is a curb, a set of penetrations and a service technician who will be up there again. Most new leaks on a sound roof in Cranberry start with work done around equipment.
A tear-off over an occupied office or a strip of retail costs the tenants far more than it costs the roof. Commercial roof restoration removes the open-deck problem entirely, which is usually the deciding factor here rather than the price.
So the scope, the photographs and both numbers need to be in a form that survives being forwarded. We write them that way as a matter of course.
Every seam, curb, drain and penetration on the Cranberry building, photographed. Not the area above the stain.
Where the roof warrants it, so the scope is built on what is wet rather than what is visible.
A restore number and a replace number with the assumptions written next to each.
Work is planned around what happens inside the building, and around the weather window this region actually gives us. The assessment is free.
Straight answers on cost, timeline, and what a restoration actually involves. No jargon, no sales pressure.
A free, photo-documented assessment and honest numbers on restore versus replace.
No, and we will not imply otherwise. Better Built is based in Carlton, in Mercer County, and works across Western Pennsylvania from there. We are not going to pretend to a yard down the road from you. Cranberry is a comfortable run down I-79 and it is a market we take seriously, but the yard is in Mercer County.
Very common here, and it is almost never the membrane. Twelve-year-old single-ply in this corridor usually leaks at a curb, a pipe penetration or a lap near equipment, frequently because someone worked on a rooftop unit and the detail was not made good afterwards.
Largely, yes. With no tear-off there is no open deck, no debris in the building and no shutdown. The preparation stage is the audible part, and it happens above an operating building rather than through it.
Your lease decides that and it is worth reading before anyone quotes. We can deal with either side and will put everything in writing for whoever needs to approve it.
Yes, and it is usually cheaper per building than doing them one at a time. The asset management program is built for owners with more than one.
